Once-more Senator LaFollette comes to the fore, this time in a speech in which he attempts to explain his position on the question of the war. Certainly, in the minds of most Americans, his position needs a lot of explaining. Since the declaration of war last April he has consistently opposed every act and bill in Congress which would have assisted the country to wage this war.

...Napoleonic wars; for we know now that this is not the war of one man, but rather the war of a nation.

I have talked with every advocate of pacifism that I could get close enough to on the street and they all say that, in the President's place, they would have applauded Germany for her latest move and rejoiced that the war was at last on a fair basis. I got several of them to endorse the statement that their lives were more valuable than their honor or their moral welfare...
