Kampus Klan:
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Ku Klux Klan, in the Early 1920s

Editorial Note:

This article refers to Nebraska Governor McKelvie who told a New York paper that he did not regard the Klan with favor. This is another example of how the Ku Klux Klan was unable to gain political support from Nebraska leadership.

No K.K.K. Stuff for Gov. McKelvie

Governor McKelvie indicated to newspaper reporters Saturday that he does not regard the Ku Klux Klan with favor, although he sees no occasion at this time for invoking any agancies of the state toward its suppression.

"I am not in sympathy with the movement in any sense," he declared.

The governor recently wired a short expression of his views on the Ku Klux Klan to a New York paper which had asked him for a statement.
