On Sept. 3, 1919, President Woodrow Wilson embarked on a nationwide railroad tour to promote American participation in the League of Nations.
On Sept. 19, Wilson’s train stopped in Los Angeles, before proceeding to San Diego. Wilson returned the next day for a parade and speech in Los Angeles.
“As the train pulled in, a squad of police and detectives drove back the crowd, and half a hundred Secret Service men, dropping from all exits in the train, stepped into their places with clock-like precision, forming a protective barrier between the president and the people. On Sept. 20, President Wilson returned to Los Angeles. The Times estimated that 200,000 spectators were on hand for Wilson’s parade through downtown Los Angeles.
