Life magazine portrays La Follette as a traitor in 1917
Anti-La Follette Cartoon
Although La Follette supported Woodrow Wilson in the 1912 presidential election, he adamantly opposed U.S. entry into World War I, believing that disputes should be resolved peacefully. La Follette faced fierce criticism for his opposition to the war, as this 1917 cartoon from Life magazine demonstrates.
