ington a part Of which reads as fol.
lows: Well, as you will know before
this reaches you, the die has been cast
and a state of war with Germany has
been declared and | think rightly de-
clared. | do not see how, as a self re-
~specting nation under obligations to
protect our citizens, we could longer
submit to German submarine outrages,
outrages not only against our own citi-
zens but against civilization and hui
manity. Since we are in, | believe in
going at it in the way that will be most
effective. Somewhat to our surprise,
the Iowa Senators "came across" and
supported the war resolution when the
vote was taken about eleven o'clock
last night. LaFollette, Norris, Gronna
