Bulletin No. 39

Addressed to the "Faithful Klansmen and Klanswomen of the Ku Klux Canada". Emphasizing that neither G.A. Warren nor C. Lewis Fowler are functioning with Imperial Headquarters, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Kanada. Mentions a Convention held in Toronto on January 17 and 18 to elect fifteen Canadians, "100% British", at the Excelsior Life Bldg. Plans for the "summer campaign" are underway, such as organizing an Open Air Demonstration in Brockville and Kingston in June and July. They must determine dates and elect committees for transportation, ceremonial work, police work, press work, and membership work. Signed by J.S. Lord and George Marshall.

Bulletin No. 40.

Addressed to "Faithful and Esteemed Klansmen and Klanswoman". Begins with addressing the large "Publishing House in Ontario" that is "interested in our Anglo-Saxon Movement", that will publish a paper in their interest and financed by subscriptions from members. This "official paper" will help spread articles of instructions to members and others interested in the principles of their movement. The Publishing House has requested the Organization to supply material relative to their work, and they will publish items of current topics and general news. The weekly paper would cost $2.00 per year. Further addresses reports that there are too many that are "not" interested in the Klan, but use it as a "centre to air their family quarrels and social differences". This will only humiliate the Klan in "the eyes of the alien world". They thus need more members who will live up to their obligations, and work in Clannish unison. Signed by George Marshall, Imperial Wizard, and J.S. Lord, Imperial Kligrapp.

Bulletin No. 41

Addressed to the "Faithful Klansmen and Klanswomen of the Ku Klux Canada". Reiterating that they do not recognize leadership under C.L. Fowler nor J.H. Hawkins, who have both been banished from the Ku Klux Klan of Canada. Therefore their recent claims about an amalgamation are false. Update on the robes, Officers are having their capes lined with red, yet only the Exalted Cyclops and Kleagles wear redlined capes, all other officers wear red covers on their hats, officers use red girdles. The Exalted Cyclops, "after retiring from that position continues to wear the robe, as a mark of distinction for the services which he rendered in that capacity. The robes worn by members are white, with white girdles and also white helmets". As for Open Air Demonstrations, they recently had a successful on in Kingston on July 31, where some thirty thousand people came. Successful ones also took place in Brockville, Toronto, Woodbridge, and out West in Debec and Meductic. Wish to soon have a good demonstration in Belleville at Smith Falls. Signed by J.S. Lord, Imperial Kligrapp, and George Marshall, Imperial Wizard.

Bulletin No. 42

Mentions that the KKK-K and KKK of the British Empire amalgamated into the "Invisible Empire Knights of KKK", but that this is false, because there is no affiliation between the two. Also, a "CL Fowler" and "JH Hawkins" were banished from "KKK-C" and "KKK-US". Questions of legitimacy within the groups.

Bulletin No. 43

Explaining the need to increase membership and "develop a nobler manhood". Mentions also that they have received "public recognition from the K.K.K. of U.S.A., which Grand Dragon G.E. Carr stated: "Our doors in the U.S. are open to Canadian Klansmen who operate their own Klans as Canadian organizations. our doors are closed to any group that follow banished Americans who are over here. The U.S. Klan does not know how to operate in Canada, doesn't want to operate in Canada, and isn't going to. And the U.S. klan doesn't want Canadians to have banished American Klansmen operate their klans for them". Goes on to update the Fowler is out of Canada for good, and that there is talks between the K.K.K. of K. and the Canadian Knights of the K.K.K. to amalgamate. Explains further that a "nobler manhood" is developed by "cultivating the ideals that build for higher things. Klankraft is essential to the real Canadian gentlemen to-day, and to this and worth0while activities should be undertaken. At this period it has become easier to obtain intoxicating liquors, and we wish to emphatically state from Imperial headquarters that no intoxicating drinks shall be permitted within our Klaverns, or on our Open Air Fields where Demonstrations are held". Emphasizes also the need to show one's Imperial Pass Card to prove he is a Klansman when gaining admittance. Signed J.S. Lord, Imperial Kligrapp, and George Marshall, Imperial Wizard.
