The Wisconsin senator laid before the committee an official transcript of his speech. In addition the commit- tee yesterday received from the Min- nesota Public Service Commission three other transcripts of the speech, taken by different stenographers. The committee spent several hours exam- ining the transcripts. It found nu- merous variations as to phraseology, but was unable to discover any sub- stantial differences affecting the meaning, In substance, Senator LaFollette denied saying the United States had no cause for war, denounced some press reports of his speech as “‘grossly false,” and certified to the accuracy of the record regarding his statement that ex-Secretary of State Bryan knew of ammunition being in the Lusi- tania’s cargo. Hs asked to examine any witnesses called by the commit- tee. Senator LaFollette’s letter, ad- dressed to Senator Pomerene, chair- man of the investigating committee, follows: My Dear Senator: Since my letter to you of the 5th inst. I have received a transcript of the. speech referred to by you in your letter to me of that date. The transcript I have received is from the notes of the official re- porter of the Non-Partisan league, who was present to report the pro- ceedings. I have compared the transcript re- ceived by me with the committee print which you furnished to me. The fact is, both transcripts show I spoke extemporaneously. I had with me a few notes on the Revenue bill, upon which I cxpected to speak more fully than I did. But the digressions caused by questions and suggestions from the audience led me to put my notes aside. I desire to aid the mem- bers of the committee in their inves- tigation to the end that they —may have as nearly as possible the same understanding of all that transpired in the St. Paul meeting as they would have if the members of the committee had been personally present. I am, therefore, furnishing the committee with the transcript of what I said, ac- cording to the notes of the official reporter of the Non-Partisan league, omitting therefrom merely extraneous matter involving the comments and explanations of the reporter. There were two interruptions from the audience not shown in the trans- script of the official report of the Non-Partisan league, but which I re- call and which are also shown by other reports of the proceedings. Thinking that these might have sig- nificance in your consideration of the subject matter of the speech, I here refer to them. One is the question from the audience, “How about the Lusitania.” Of course, all that I said upon that subject was said because of this interruption. 1 had no intention of referring to it. The New York Times’ report of the meeting and oth- er press reports show this to be as here stated, and it accords with my recollection. The transcript of the official report of the Non-Partisan league is, of course, at your service, if you desire the same. The second interruption which I note as not appearing in the text of the transcript furnished me shows that the expression, ‘‘Shame on Con- gress,” came from the audience and that T replied as shown in the con- text of the speech. This so appears in the print of the speech furnished by you at Page 11, Line 3. With these interruptions, the transcript of the speech I am herewith submitting is | substantially correct, so far as I can now recall. You did not indicate what particu- lar portion of the speech yon had under consideration, and I have gone over it generally, to make certain that it is substantially correct. As yoy will cbserve by comparing the two texts of the speech, there are many differ- If any of these differences have any significance for the purpose of your investigation and you desire to direct my attention to j§ | a0y particular language in either text, RENIER, PICKHARDT & DUNN 127 MAIN STREXT..

I assume that the wholly false re- ports sent out by the press generally to the effect that I stated in various forms, “We had no grievance,” is re- ceiving no credence from you, since that is contrary to the text of the speech, you furnished me. I shall be very glad, however, if your investiga- ion is sufficiently broad to take in an inquiry into the causes which led to the publication generally of these grossly false statements by the press. Permit me to say that, if it is the purpose of the committee to make an investigation as to any statement of fact in the speech, then I request that the committee advise me what state- ment of fact is so called into question and in what respect its correctness is questioned. Furthermore, if any issues of fact are to be raised by testimony concern- ing any statements in the speech, then I ask to be accorded the right to question any one so testifying, and that I be permitted to call witnesses to meet the testimony which may be so offered. If the speech is to be otherwise questioned or my right to make it considered by the comumittee, then I ert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin has! respectfully request that I be so ad- vised by the committees, and that I be given an opportunity to be heard thereon in person and by counsel. Very respectfully yours, ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE. The data which Secretary of State Lansing has promised to furnish to the committee to aid it in clearing up the faats about the Lusitania was not en- tirely ready today. The committee is anxious to settle the question of ver- acity raised between Senator La Fol- lette and Mr. Bryan regarding the Lusitania. The committee will meot again tomorrow, when it is expected to receive the da It hop also to have before it . Bryan's reply to its request for a statement regarding the Lusitania case. Mr. Bryan h publicly denied Mr. La Follette's as sertion affecting him. Public hearings probably will not be held by the committec. Chairman Pomerene pointed out today that the committee’'s power was limited, first, as to the accuracy of the specch, now regarded as settled, and, second, as to statements of fact therein, under vestigation.
