Frank Eugene Farnsworth (1868-1926) was an American political organizer who was best known for being King Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Maine. Based in Portland, Maine, Farnsworth recruited thousands of men and women to the Ku Klux Klan during the group's peak from 1923-1924. In 1920, Farnsworth was President of the Loyal Coalition, a Boston-based organization dedicated to "good government" and keeping “the hyphenates from controlling America.” In particular, it opposed Irish independence. However, by January 1923, Farnsworth turned his full attention to organizing the Ku Klux Klan in Maine.
