This pamphlet states the Pensacola News article accused the Klan of being "sneak thieves, cowards, and paid assassins"; informs the Klan they are not welcome in Pensacola and should "slip out of this section as quietly as they entered."

The Klan also states, "You gentlemen of the News, may be fully qualified to say that we are 'Sneak thieves" and know whereof you speak; for we are sure that there are no better judges of sneak thieves than yourselves who are using the livery of Christianity to serve the vilest interests that invest this city and county and making a mockery of law and decency!" Accuses the Pensacola News of blackmailing someone for $500. to prevent an article from being printed, accuse Judge Shepherd of being sympathetic to "bootleggers and white slave artists."
