LA FOLLETTK MAY BE PLACED UNDER ARREST Reported to Have Made Disloyal Statements, Which Arouse Gov ernor of Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 21.?Governor Burnquist announced tonight that if an official investigation of the alleged disloyal statements made by Senator La Follette at the closing session of the Non-Partisan League High Post of Living Con lerence nere last night revealed that his remarks were seditious, the Minnesota Public Safety Commifinion of which the governor is chairman, will ask for the senator's arrest. During his speech here last night Senator 1*1 Follette was quoted an having said that he was "opposed to war, thought Germany rather rough with the technical rights of American citizens but that he did not think the exercise of these technical right in travelling on beiligerant merchantmen laden with munitions was worth going to war about." Cries of "Yellow!" came from the audience. When quiet was restored the senator continued: "I believe that the American munitions makers encouraged Americans to ride on such ships to give them semblance of protection. I was not in favor of beginning this war. We had no grievance. The German government had interfered with our rights to travel on the high seas?as passengers on munition ships?of Great Britain. On tnese grievances wnicn were lnsignifloant, considering the rights and consequences involved, we went to war." Probably True. Mistress?"You say yon can't read, Nornh.
