States,
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1901-09-21

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Theodore
Roosevelt took the constitutional oath
as president of the United States just
u hours and 10 minutes after the
death of William Mckinley. He took
the oath of office in the small library
in the old colonial residence of At
torney Ainsley Wilcox, at GAL Della
ware avenue, at 3:35 Saturday after
noon.
At 3:15 a carriage drove up contain
ing Secretary Root, Attorney-General
Knox and United States District
Judge John r. Hazel, of Buffalo. The
gentlemen proceeded Immediately to
the library of the house, where Mr..
Roosevelt awaited them. This car
riage was closely followed by another
containing Secretaries Long, Hitch

riages arrived soon after, bringing the
presidents secretary, Mr.. Cortelyou;
President Milburn of the exposition
company; Senator Depew, Justice AL
bert Haight, of the court of appeals,
and others.
An Impressive Scene.
other friends of the vice-president
entered the house within few MN
utes, and at 1895 Mr.. Wilcox came out
on the lawn and stated to the press
representatives. that it was the desire
of the president that they be admit
ted to the house to witness the cere-
mony. A score or more of newspaper
men, representing the principal papers
of the country, walked noiselessly
into the dusky library of the old
home, where, with bowed heads, stood
the members of the cabinet and those
who had been asked to be present.
The room was as silent as the house
of death itself.
The president stood on the south
side of the room with his back to
small window, and the members OF
the cabinet and the gentleman pres
ent stood in circle facing him. For
some time Mr.. Roosevelt talked in
whispers with Secretary Root, his arm
over the secretary's shoulder. Then
Secretary Root stepped back few
PAGES and the president stood motion
less by the side of Judge Hazel. There
was dead silence of several seconds
and then Secretary Root said:
Mr.. Vice-President"- after
long pause-"I have been requested
by all of the members of the cabi-
net of the late President Mckinley
who are present in the city of Buffalo,
being all except two, to request that
for reasons of weight affecting the ad-
ministration of the government, you
shall proceed without delay to take
the constitutional oath of Office as
president of the United States"
lie spoke with great deliberation'
and so still was the room that had his
words been uttered in whispers they
might easily have been heard by ev'
cry one present.
The Presidents Oath.
President Roosevelt's face was stern
and rigid. Lifting his eyes, he looked
steadfastly into the face of the secre
tary for moment, and in voice
marked with frmness and all of hi'

"Mr. Secretary, 1 shall take the
oath at once, at the request of the
members of the cabinet, and In this
hour of deep and terrible national
bereavement, 1 wish to state 1 shall
continue absolutely unbroken tho
policy of President Mckinley for tho
our beloved country"
Judge Hazel then stepped forward
and administered the following con.
stitutional oath, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
peating slowly the sentence spoken
by the magistrate:
Il do solemnly swear that / will
faithfully execute the Office of pres.
ident of the United States, and will,
to the best of my ability, preserve,

of the United States"
When the last words were SAID
President Roosevelt signed the docu-
ment in the usual form. All was si-
lent, and scarcely movement of
hand or foot was made during the
solemn procedure. AS soon as the
oath was taken, the president turned
to the circle of cabinet officers about
him and said:
81 will ask the gentlemen of the
cabinet to stay, that 1 may have a
talk with them alone"
The president then stepped out into
the hall and shook hands with those
who passed out. In few seconds the
old library was cleared of all except
the members of the cabinet, and ther
President Roosevelt sat down witt
them for his first cabinet meeting.

her progressive citizens upon this
