La Follette voted for Wilson’s progressive measures but resisted U.S. involvement in World War I. He voted against the declaration of war in 1917. He voted against bills creating a military draft and authorizing the use of borrowed money to meet war costs. Senators attacked him for disloyalty, and he was in danger of receiving censure. But the war ended and Republicans needed his vote to control the Senate. As a result, the censure move died. After the war he opposed the Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations. He felt the treaty would lead only to “an unjust peace which could only lead to future wars.”

In lines 313-324, we notice Euchner drawing attention and connection using the word "dream" in other to connect Pritchard to King’s speech. He narrated Pritchard's past experience as a kid when hed he sai observed the English talking bad about Blacks and Welsh. However, Pritchard didn't share the same view as they did, for he believed God and Christ viewed all men as equal, whether White or Black.
By saying, <em>"King’s dream is his dream," </em>Euchner<em> </em><em>helps his readers to see that there are others, </em><em>not only fellow blacks but whites who share the same dreams as Dr. King.</em>
