The nominees speech at the field
games was almost coorless of politics,
lie made a mild plea for the Learun Of
Nations. He spoke chiefly in common
dation of the New York policemen
and what the policemen typifed in the
government system throughout the
country. He repeated his glowing COM

made the statement not a great while
ago that if one were to write a book
or an essay on the opportunity of
Americanism, or the opportunities of
America, he need only to recite the
life's history of the peddler boy of New
York who has become the chief execu-
tive of the first state in the Union.
During the course of my life it has
been my privilege to pass through some
Of the experiences whichsenabled me to
know the life and the trials and the re
sponsibilities of a policeman. | have
never been a policeman, but as a
younger man I was a police reporter
on great newspaper. | would like to
impress upon the members of the po-
lice force of New York City this
thought: We have the Supreme Court
we have the Congress, we have state
governments, and yet millions of peo-
pie come in contact not with the in
situations of the nation nor the govern
ment institutions of the state, You
policemen are the very expression of
the law yourselves. Millions come into
contact with you who never have con
tact with any other agency of our gov
eminent. Therefore, call upon the
policemen here and the policemen
everywhere to hold always a proper
concept of the great part they play in
the government scheme of things. In
this great country of ours I know of no
finer type of American than the mag
nihcent policeman who keeps a clear
head and true and untarnished
honor"
Police Cheer Tribute
The policemen and their friends
cheered these remarks And again
they cheered when he spoke of the
work of Americanization as of the

adjustment had been worked out The
Ohio Governors stock reference, which
has occurred in most of his campaign
speeches SO far, that it had never been
necessary, during his six years as
Governor of his state, "to cast the uni
form of a soldier into an industrial
strike" or "to fire shot" in settling

Referring to the League of Nations, he
said:
Il believe we can agree that if the
sober second thought had come to the
nations which precipitated the great
war tragedy upon Europe in 1914, if
the sober second thought had taken
possession of the rulers of those
countries, war would not have come.
Now it is our aim this year in Amer
ica to make certain an expression of
the heartbeats of America, in order
that those in public station will I'M
derstand perfectly we'll that America
America does not intend to be provin-
cial; that America intends to make her
contribution to the civilization Of the
world"
Several hundred automobiles, Off
cial and otherwise, followed in the
trail of the cars which carried Gov
ernor Cox, Police Commissioner En-
right Governor Smith, Mayor Hylan,
former Congressman John J. Fitzger-
aid and a score Of police and other
city officials, from the Commodore ho-
tel to Gravesend. They were packed
in rows two and three deep along East
Forty second street near the hotel
Most of them were decorated with the
police and national flags. The streets
were cleared of traffic along the route
and, because Of the lateness of the
start for Gravesend, speed laws were
disregarded. A squad of motorcycle
policemen guarded the speeding pro-
cession on either side and smiled in
diligently at the official law breakers
