This article presents information, related to socio-political issues of the U.S. Senator Robert M. La Follette, on September 20, 1917, at a meeting of the Non-Partisan League at St. Paul, made a speech on account of which charges of disloyalty were preferred against him in the U.S. Senate. During the World War I, the American Federation of Labor and the other unions of the country managed to build up an extremely useful reputation for conservatism, and solid patriotism. Their agents went abroad, pledged, as was officially announced, to oppose the radicals under Arthur Henderson and the Socialists desiring immediate peace. Atlanta, Georgia, has completed arrangements for importing the Metropolitan Opera Co., for a week of performances next spring. The project required a guarantee of nearly a hundred thousand dollars, which seems to have been forthcoming without trouble.
