country has sought to intimidate.
The mandate has gone forth to
the sovereign people that they
must be silent while those things
are being done by their govern
ment which most vitality concern
their well-being, their happiness
and their lives.
81 have in my possession numer-

fully arrested, thrown into jail,
held incommunicado for days,
only to be eventually released,
without ever having been taken
into court, because they have COM
mitted no crime.
Must Surrender Some
ut appears to be the purpose OF
those conducting this campaign to
throw the country into a state OF
terror, to coerce public opinion,
to stifle criticism and suppress
discussion of the great issues In
volved in this war.
II think all men recognize
that in time OF war the citizen
must surrender some rights for
the public good.
But the right to control their
|Own government according to con-
|stitutional forms is not one Of
the rights that the citizens of this
country are called upon to sur
render.
Rather in time Of war the citi-
zen must be more alert to the
preservation of his right to con-
troll his government. He must be
most watchful of the encroach-
ment of the military upon civil
power.
Free Speech Necessary
More than all, the citizen in
war time must retain his right of
free speech. ! believe l am now
touching upon the most important
question In the country-the right
of the citizens to discuss in an Or
derby way publicly and frankly
and without fear, from the plat
form and thru their publications,
every important phase of the war;
its causes, the manner in which
1t should be conducted, and the
terms upon which peace should be
made"

conference as evidence of what
war fever" will do.

clared," he said. 81 believe no
single act has done so much to

WASHINGTON, Oct. @. -
Senator La Toilette today In
q spectacular speech before
the senate defied those In
this country who charged
him with seditiOn and trea-
son.
Denouncing the campaign
of libel and character assas-
sination" against men oppOs-
ing war measures, he declar-
ed "neither the clamOr OF the
mob nor the voice of power
will turn me-"
He assailed the war party" for
trying to intimidate congress
and the people" and fiercely de-
Tended free speech. He demanded
a statement of war aims.
1t was the first time a senator
ever replied to so serious
charge of the electorate. In dra-
matte situations It ranked with
the famous speech of Senator Lor-
inner, Illinois, May 25, 1910
when he was charged with buying
his senate seat.
The galleries we're packed and
the senate floor crowded.
Libelled, He Says
mot by the breadth of hair"
he shouted, will I turn from the
course / mark out for myself,
guided by such knowledge as !
can obtain, and controlled and d.
rec.ed by a solemn conviction OF
right and duty.
"Since the declaration Of war,
the triumphant war party has
pursued those senators and repre-
sentatives who voted against war
with malicious falsehood and
recklessly libelous attacks, going
to the extreme limit of charging
them with treason" La Toilette
said.
81 have before me newspaper
clippings, some of them libels
against me alone, some directed
as well against other senators.
One of these newspaper reports,
most widely circulated, represents
a federal Judge as saying in

have the honor to be included,
should be stood up against a wall

Saw Stone Sought
To Harass Wilson
Senators Charge Scheme to
Embarrass in Bringing Up
Colombian Treaty

Washington, April 17.-Senator Will
lam J. Stone. chairman Of the Foreign
Relations Committee, tried to put one
over" on the Administration when he
unexpectedly brought up the Colom-
bian treaty for immediate considera-
ton. according 10 members of the COM
mittee. As a result the State Depart
ment has been in touch with the Gap
itol to-day in an attempt to balk what
is considered an attempt TO harrass the
Administration programme.
Shortly after the Colombian treaty
was withdrawn Secretary Lansing CON
ferred with Senator Lodge, ranking Re-
publican on the Foreign Relations Com,
mittee. the result being an informal
understanding TO make certain changes
IN the wording of the convention,
which, il was said, would make It ac-
ceptable 20 Republicans and assure Its
ratification.
Then followed the declaration OF war
and the consequent multiplication OF
State Department work which prevent
ed the contemplated revision. More,
over, with the entrance OF the United
States into the war the emergency rea-
sons advanced for its immediate pass
age disappeared.
Senator Stone served notice yester-
dav that he would bring up the treaty
for consideration tomorrow. IL was
his intention to present it in its orig
inal form. This would make him cham
pion OF an Administration measure;
the mere fact that the Administration
proposed its revision he could over,
look. since tho State Department had
not consulted him in the matter.

ing up to the sobriquot most frequent.
