Bulletin #35

Title reads: "To All Geni, King and Major Kleagles, Kleagles, Imperial Representatives, and Citizens of the Invisible Empire". First, that this bulletin is an official world to all Klans; Two, that the "recent meeting in Toronto" was not done properly, and that they wish to "ignore all that was done by the body, and forget it as a bad memory"; Three, on perfidy and slander, that slander is basically the worst one could do, especially when people pass it on as "gossip"; Four, that a Kloncilium has been set up and "we are resolved to put this great cause across in Canada; Five, that that the details of the "First Order" which has never been communicated to anyone in Canada will not be placed with "true and tried friends who, as my representatives, will see that each true Klansman and Klanswoman, as they are eligible for elevation, shall have the benefits thereof". Same for the "Second Order", "K-Duo", and the "higher Orders". Mentions also that "the Klan is positively international. It is commensurate with the distribution of the white race and Protestantism. The Klan of Kanada is adapted to the needs of Canada but it is to be also a part of the Invisible Empire which is universal"; Six, that to date, until matters of King and Major Klonglos is settled, send all duplicate and other reports should be directed to Post Office Box 176 to the Imperial Kligrapp C. Lewis Fowler; and Seven, that Mrs. J. Bollons is Imperial Commander for the Ladies of the K.K.K. of K. and all communications should go through her". Signed Imperial Headquarters, Knights (and Ladies) of the K.K.K. of Kanada, C. Lewis Fowler, Imperial Kligrapp.

Special Bulletin no. 36

Wishing to address the changing outlook of the Klan due to increased membership. Because they did not foresee this many members to enroll, the Klan has shifted from being a sectional organization to a national one. Apparently many members have been receiving letters from Dr. C. Lewis Fowler, who is attempting to seize control of the Klan, but ultimately failed and now "banished in Canada and also in the United States". On the second day of their recent Klonvocation, Fowler visited Headquarters and took "supplies", so they changed the locks and keys. Makes mention that, according to an auditor's report, Fowler received funds in 1925 in the amount of %5, 785, $390.03 in travelling expenses, and an additional $368.72 advanced to him, as well as some $3,670.000 and another $11145.16 for expenses in 1926. Also, Fowler and Jos. Ballons collected money that was never handed over to the Treasurer, he stole their official stamp design, and claims that Mrs. Ballons is leader of the Ladies of the Ku Klux Klan of Kanada despite it actually being Mrs. Lydia Barrett. The bulletin goes on to talk about his other allegations, such as his stealing official records from headquarters, not returning the "Second Order" upon his forced resignation, and spreads slander. The bulleting is signed by "J.S. Lord", Imperial Kligrapp.
