11. Hiram Evans (1926) “The Klan, therefore, has come to speak for the great mass of Americans of the old pioneer stock. … These Nordic Americans for the last generation have found themselves increasingly uncomfortable … and deeply distressed. One by one all our traditional moral standards went by the boards or were so disregarded that they ceased to be binding. … The Klan literally is once more the embattled American farmer and artisan, coordinated into a growing and disciplined army, and launched upon a definite crusade for Americanism. … [These instincts] are condensed into the Klan slogan: Native, white, Protestant supremacy.” “The Klan, therefore, has come to speak for the great mass of Americans of the old pioneer stock. … These Nordic Americans for the last generation have found themselves increasingly uncomfortable … and deeply distressed.

Mencken, American Mercury (Baltimore Sun) “Bryan was a vulgar and common man, a cad undiluted. He was ignorant, bigoted, self-seeking, blatant and dishonest. His career brought him into contact with the first men of his time; he preferred the company of rustic ignoramuses. It was hard to believe, watching him at Dayton, that he had traveled, that he had been received in civilized societies, that he had been a high officer of state. He seemed only a poor clod like those around him, deluded by a childish theology, full of an almost pathological hatred of all learning, all human dignity, all beauty, all fine and noble things. He was a peasant come home to the dung-pile. Imagine a gentleman, and you have imagined everything that he was not.”
