 If l have been indicted" said Mir Pettigrew. it was for a speech l made recently in Sioux Falls. In that speech l said we were in war in which we had no business; that we were involved because certain peo- not have been. declared that. since we were in the war, the best thing for us to do is to back out graceful ly. Since | have been iu Chicago I have been elected a representative Of he peace conference
 Mir. Pettigrew said another reason for any possible indictment might he for a letter which l sent out in July head Making the World Safe for Hyprocrisy and dedicated to Wood TOW Wilson"
 Former Senator Pcttigrew was el ected to congress as a republican and when South Dakota became a state he named as a senator. He was re- elected and served until 1901 when he went to New York to practice law. He later returned to Sioux Falls. At one time he was aligned with the --"- pY!ie. party 1ad bo..s1 the Roput lican convention at St. Louis on ac- count of the gold plank in the plat form.

Information Withheld

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Nov. 6.-No official confirmation could be had here last night of the reported indictment of former Senator R. F. Pettigrew. Although the federal grand jury is in session here. court officials refused to comment on the alleged indict- ment.
 Senator Pettigrcw before leaving here for Chicago. ill a statement giv- en out to newspapermen. declared the United States should back out of the war
 There is no excuse for this war, back right out of it.
 This man McAdoo said here that we are in the war from principle to protect our right to trade on the open sea Not an American was killed ex- cept on ammunition boats, and they had no right to he there.'
 Says Belgium Deserves Fate
 Sympathy is being extended to Belgium. She deserves none. Fifty years ago Belgium robbed the Congo. This made Belgium wealthy but three-fourths of her people did not share in this wealth. If she is now indemnified it will go to the men who robbed the negroes of the Congo.
 "One hundred years ago we fought out the alien and sedition law. The party back of it failed at the next ell ection The same struggle is on again
 People desire to know if they are living in the United States or in Rus sia."
 Senator Pettigrew had been men toned by leaders of the Peoples Council of America for Democracy and Peace as the chairman of the state conference. which was declared to have been held here October 10 in de- hance of Governor Norbeck's orders. Pettigrew. however. left for Chicago before the meeting was held. He has been there several weeks at a hospi- ial.
