Watson, Republican candidate for re-election, and high officials ot tne Ku Klux Klan, was related here today to the senate campaign funds committee by Ralph B. Bradford, rrown Point. Ind. Bradford testified he was a former member of the klan and admitted that some ot his Information was second-hand.

Lee Smith had been made grand dragon in his place so he klun would "go down the line" for Senator Watson. Describing a meeting at Indiana-polls last January at which Smith was elected, both witnesses charged that the session had been "packed" so that Smith could be "put over" although it was well known that 65 per cent of the accredited delegates favored a Major Kit of the Volunteers of America.

POWERS. Much favorable comment has stirred by the personnel ot the list of Democratic candidates for the legislature from Detroit While they have a tremendous obstaclethe normal heavy Republican rote In the city to overcome in winning election, It la generally anticipated that as a group they will run far ahead of similar Democratic contingents of other years. On the other -hand, the Republican set of 17 nominees cannot be regarded as being other than meritorious. Nina of the 17 served In the last legislature, which contributed sev eral commendable pieces of legislation to- the state records. Including reapportionment.

Another served in the 1923 session. None ot.the Democrats has had previous legislative experfnee, but several have, been conspicuous In public service. William B. Thompson is a former mayor of Detroit; Itlchard I. Lawson.

(ormer corporation counsel; William J. Nagel, former postmaster and city controller and Lee B. Joslyn was a member of the city charter commission. Seven of the 17 are practicing lawyera and several otners are prominent pusi nesa men of the city. The Republican 17 were nominated from a list of 77 candidates at the recent primary, while- the Democratic group was selected by the primary vote from a Hat half as large.i Most of the Democratic can dldates were literally "drafted" inio tne race py a pre-primary convention of the party, and one of them, Samuel T.

Douglas, an attorney, has sought in vain to erase nts name from the list by legal methods. The Bepubllcans were selected by primary votes ranging Between Slid 11,000, and the Democrats by a vote range or l.ioo and 1,700. The rival groups of nominees follow; Repabllcaa. I Joseph C.
