Wow. He and Hunter sound like saints. Here is some of his "tireless" efforts to help the "race of mongrels":
"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."
"The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."
