The goal was to get Klansmen elected to political offices at all levels of government throughout Colorado. If they could not find qualified Klansmen to run for elective office, Wilkens said, “We will also support non-Klansmen who share our philosophy. If a candidate wants our public endorsement we’ll give it to him or we may support him with financial aid. The important thing is to get the right kind of thinking into government.” He mentioned how well the “niggers” organized themselves politically, and that we needed to do the same to protect what we had.
