his pacifist views last evening before

Nebraska is for peace, and I think
every state in our country is for peace,
but Nebraska is not for peace at any

down on their knees tonight that there
will not be war, and that their boys
will be saved to them. but they are
our country, not one Nebraska boy will
hang back"

said:
