EXPOSES KU KLUX KLAN BEFORE XAVERIAN CLUB WILMETTE SCHOOL BAND "MAKES" NEW TRIER BAND Wilmette's public school band, in addition to providing most pleasing entertainment at school programs is indirectly contributing largely to the success of the New Trier Township High school band. Several members -of the Public school band-last year are this season Edward P. Dunne, former Governor of Illinois and at present a leader in the fight to expose the celebrated Ku Klux Klan. spoke concerning that secret organization Monday evening before the Xaverian club of Wilmette. Ex-Governor Dunne presented a keen analysis of the constituents of the population of the United States which were debarred from the Klan bv its membership restrictions, and showed that "on this basis 95,700.000 people in this country were denied j the right of qualifying as 100 per ceut Americans".
