Honorable T. W. Bickett, Governor of North Carolina,
Raleigh, N.C.

My dear Sir:

I have noticed your several communications in the paper with great interest, especially your article in Monday's paper regarding the Ku Klux Klan. I am confident that you are absolutely right in this matter and wish to congratulate you heartily on your stand. I notice the party trying to organize this order is kicking some, but I am quite sure it will amount to nothing, and I for one wish to express my admiration for your stand along this line; also, for the sound judgment you are using in the directions you are giving these strikers as the country is now facing a labor problem that is something serious, and any man, who shows the back-bone that I feel you have shown in this matter and the fairness between capital and labor deserves the commendation and hearty co-operation of all law-abiding citizens of the state.

Yours very truly,

A. M. Basinger

President
