Description
Ku Klux Klan Meeting at Platte County Fairgrounds. - - As advertised the Ku Klux Klan held a big meeting at the fair grounds Friday night of last week. A good crowd was present to witness the program of the evening, estimated from 500 to 2000 people.
The grounds were splendidly lighted for the occasion and those attending report an interesting meeting. The program consisted of an address by Zack Harris who is reported as an orator and interesting talker and a display of fireworks.
There was no parade as advertised, it being circulated that the Mayor of Platte City had issued an order against such, though we understand there was really no edict of the kind.
The Klan was represented by members from Weston, St. Joseph, Leavenworth, and other places.Date(s) of Creation
