Kaspar K. “Kap” Kubli, Jr. (April 21, 1869 – December 22, 1943) was a RINO and Klansman[1] from Oregon who was a state representative for a number of terms from the 18th district. He was the speaker of the state House of Representatives from 1923 to 1924.
He is frequently labeled erroneously as "right-wing" despite having supported progressive policies such as eugenics.
Political career
During the 1922 gubernatorial election, Kubli opposed incumbent anti-KKK Republican governor Benjamin Olcott and supported the latter's primary challenger Charles Hall, who did not prevail. Kubli also joined the pro-Klan Democrat nominee Walter M. Pierce in supporting the anti-Catholic Compulsory Public Education Act as a ballot measure which would shut down school choice and forbid parents from sending their children to religious schools.
A staunch opponent of religious freedom, Kubli sponsored the 1923 bill in the Oregon House which banned teachers in the state's schools from wearing religious clothing.[2]
