Kind of Leadership Which Cannot
But Make Us Greater.
Hyde Park, N, Y., Aug. 9.—Before
a crowd of several thousand peridaf,
who stood for nearly two hours under
a sweltering August sun, Frank'ln D.
Roosevelt give an address formally
accepting the democratic nomination
for vice president here today. He
urged ratification of the peace treaty,
"which to make it a real treaty for a
real peace must include a league of
nations.'
"The league of nations," he assert
ed, "Is a practical solutlbn of a prac
tical situation. It Is no more perfect
than our original constitution, which
has been amended 18 times and will
soon, we hope, be amended the 19th,
was perfect, ft Is not anti-national, j
it is anti-war.
'"Through It we may with nearly
©very other duly constituted govern
ment in the whole world throw our
moral f>rce and our potential power
into the scale of peaw. That such
an object should be contrary to
American policy is unthinkable; but
if there be any citizen who has hon
est fears it may be perverted fr,ma Its
plain intent so as to conflict with our
established form of government, ,It
will be simple to declare to him and
to other nations that the constitution
of the United States is in every way
supreme.
"Today we are offered a seat at the
table of the family of nations to the
end that smaller peoples may be truly
safe to work out their own destiny.
We shall take that place. I say so
because I have falth« —faith that this
nation has no selfish destiny. Faith
that our people are looking into the
years beyond for better things, and
that they are not afraid to do bhelr
part."
Referring to domestic Issues, Mr.
Roosevelt urged extension of teach
ing to the Illiterate, strengthening of
the Immigration laws to exclude the
physically and morally unfit, higher
salaries to government employes,
further protection of ohlld life and
women in industry and reorganisation
of governmental machinery. >
The ceremonies were held at
Springwood, the Roosevelt ancestral
estate, at 3 o'clock In th* afternoon.
Mr. Roosevelt spoke from the front
veranda of his home, which was
gaily decorated with American flags.

committeeman from New York; for
mer Governor Martin H. Glynn and
Abram I. Blkus, former ambassador
to Turkey, were among the promi
nent national and state figures who
attended the exercises.
One of the unique features of the
celebration was the presence of a
Tammany delegation of 800, includ
ing 160 women, who arrived on a
special train from New York. Char
les F. Murphy, Tammany chieftain,
sent word that he was unable to at
tend, but many of his lieutenants
were on hand. Mr. Roosevelt's early
political successes are attributed by
his friends to his opposition to Tam
many but appearently vast differences
were forgotten today in the desire to
present a united front in the coming
campaign.
Mr. Rooserelt closely followed his
manuscript and was listened to with
Intense Interest. His declaration that
the war was only half won with the
victory of the armed forces and that
he looked forward to "the internation
al settlement which will make It un
necessary to send again two million
men across the sea," was greeted with
prolonged cheers. The ' crowd alto
apparently enjoyed his attack on the
republican senators, frequently Inter
rupting him with such expressions a*
"Attaboy, Frank; hit him agate,"
"Sic 'em," "That's the stuff" and
"Give it to them strong."
