He stood as the Prohibition and American Parties' candidate for Governor in 1914, and in 1916 he declined the nomination for President of the United States by the American Party.
He engaged in the practice of law in New York City until his death there November 6, 1941, aged 78. He was interred at the Evergreen Cemetery in Hillside, New Jersey.

Famous quotes containing the words life, political and/or career:
“There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius.... They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“All the territorial possessions of all the political establishments in the earth—including America, of course—consist of pilferings from other people’s wash.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
