    Jackson Sentinel, Maquoketa, Iowa, August 17, 1926

    KLAN KLONKLAVE A SUCCESS

    The third annual klonklave of Jackson County Ku Klux Klan, held at the
Gibson field north of the fair grounds, was held Saturday, August 7, the date
being postponed from the preceding Saturday on account of the weather and roads
at that time.

    Saturday, Aug. 7, however, was an ideal day, and while the afternoon crowd
was not so large as usual, due to the fact that most farmers were threshing, the
evening crowd far surpassed that of former years, it being estimated that eight
thousand people were on the grounds. An unusually large contingent was present
from Dubuque, which included a band, drill teams, male quartet and dramatic
company, while Clinton, Scott and Muscatine counties were also well represented.

    The day and evening program as advertised was carried out in full and the
naturalization ceremony, which concluded the evening program, was a beautiful
and spectacular sight.
