that he is very much interested in the sue
cess of the undertaking, for the very good
reason that it carries with it a change IN
the date of the presidential inauguration,
which contemplates the avoidance of hold
ing fnaugurations during season of the
year when inclement weather is almost GER
tain to prevail. That more serious results
have not attended the holding of Inaugural:
exercises is perhaps due more to good for
tune and the robust physical constitution
of the American people than anything else.
There have been few Presidents inauy-
urated without being exposed to atmos-
pher1c influences which were attended by
more or less danger. Considering the re
lationship existing between the social and
commercial affairs of the nation and the
life of its chief executive, it is highly i'm
portant that the health Of the President
should be conserved and protected in every
possible manner, AIN. Gov. Savage regards
1t as a long step in the right direction to
change the date Of Inauguration from the
breaking of winter to date when the
weather is not SO likely to be inclement."
