In his inaugural address, Governor

endeavor to make efficiency the
standard of mis- administration.
Politicians, members of the Legjs-
lature and office holders hocked to
Albany from every part Of the State.
No Inauguration since that Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's in 1899 was attend
edSwith so much uncertainty and so
much speculation, and all wished to
get the first opportunity to see the
new Governor as soon after his .naC-
guration as possible.
In addition to the new Governor
taking up the reins, there were 9th er
changes to be made in the official
family of the State. All of the Demo-
cratic State officers took possession
of their Offices, and this brought to
Albany many persons who have here
tofore evinced but little interest in
the Inauguration ceremonies.
Shortly before IL o'clock former
Governor Frank Way1and Higgins
met his staff in the Executive Cham
Der, after which they repaired to the
Executive Mansion, on Eagle street.
where Governor Hughes and his staff
had assembled. The inaugural
parade was a most imposing one,
with more military present than at
any previous inauguration in years.
The Second and Third Battalions OF
the Tenth Regiment. six companies
from the Second Regiment, Troop B.
of Albany, and Squadron A, of New
York City, were in line. In addition
to the military, the Young Mems Re-
publican CluO, of Albany, and the
Schenectady County Republican Club
paraded in honor of the new Gov
ernor.
Squadron A acted as the escort to
the Governor. Former Governor Hig-
gins and Governor Hughes rode in
the same carriage from the Execu-
tive Mansion to the Capitol. The in
augural ceremonies in the Assembly
chamber were of an impressive ma
ture.
