Secretary Daniels. the chief speaker of
the evening. was introduced next He
said. in part:
II am not an Irishman myself bur
/ may be said to have gained that dis
tinction. by marriage. 1t is not true that
the present administration will appoint
no one but Irishmen and Southerners,
but the administration could not do bet
ter The Irish race is a race of senti-
ment and will be found that those races
which have left their mark on history
were races of sentiment
when we contemplate the incidents
of the War of the Revolution, we are
forced to- admit that our, early sea-
fighters, such as Barry and jones accom-
plished miracles with the navy they had
and these miracles were only accom-
plished because such men as Barry and
Jones were directing the movements Of
those ships"
