Here is another, We Take Our Hats Off To You, Mr. Wilson, sung by Nora Bayes in 1914. In the song, she expressed thanks to the president for keeping the U S out of the war. "Greater than a gladiator, you are the great mediator . . . the flag of peace you have unfurled" Apparently she was so popular at the time that when the mood of the country changed, and the U S finally did enter the war, her popularity was unaffected, while that of some other performers who had done anti-war songs came crashing down.
