The men pledged to arrange a meeting next week to organize a county chapter of the league. Indianapolis attorney Ralph Bamberger was elected spokesperson for the organization committee and was instructed to consider prominent persons, who have publicly denounced the Ku Klux Klan, to speak at a mass meeting to be held later.
