“Oh, say not so!” gasped a Maryland newspaper the other day when everybody was “quivering in excited anticipation of 100,000 ghostly apparitions wafting through the streets of the national capital to the stirring strains of the ‘Liberty Stable Blues,’ “ and word came from Washington that the mammoth parade of the the Ku Klux Klan had been called off. This Maryland paper, the Baltimore <em>Evening Sun</em>, cried “Darn! There goes a-glimmering the thrill of a lifetime.” But the mammoth parade had not been called off, and news that it had not was provocative of press comment the country over.

Description
An account of the resource
This article from the magazine <em>The Literary Digest</em>, a popular weekly publication, tells the story of the August 1925 <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/175">Ku Klux Klan march</a> along Pennsylvania Avenue and the National Mall. Held August 8, 1925, an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 Klansmen participated in the event. Many were worried about violence at the event, but a strong police presence as well as the stipulation that marchers could not wear masks helped to keep the march peaceful.
