Inauguration Of Twenty-Seventh
President Is Witnessed by
Great Crowds.
MARSHALL SWORN IN FIRST
Simple Ceremony In senate Chamber
Followed by More Impressive
Affair on East Pertleo Of
the Capitol.
BY GEORGE CLINTON,

Washington, March Tin the pres
ence of vast throng of his fellow citi-
gems. Woodrow Wilson today stood in
front Of the east portico Of the capitol
and took the oath Of president Of tho
United States. Thomas r. Marshall
already had been sworn in az vice
president. and with tho completion Of
the ceremony the ship Of state was
which had been ashore for sixteen
years.
As the new chief executive of the
nation stood with barred head. ed
ward Douglass White. chief Justice Of
the Supreme court, held before him
the Bible always used In the cere-
mony. Mr.. Wilson placed his hands
upon the book and in a voice strong,
though somewhat affected by emotion,
swore to support the Constitution and
the laws of the country and to perform
the duties Of his high ONCE to the best
OF his ability.
Thomas Riley Marshall swore feal-
ty to the Constitution and to the
people in the senate chamber. where
for four years 1t will be his duty to
preside over the deliberations of the
members Of the upper house Of con-
gress.
Severely Simple Ceremonies.
Both of the ceremonies proper were
conducted in q severely simple but
most impressive manner. The sur
roundings of the scene of the presi-
dents induction into office. however.
were not SO simple. for it was an out
of-door event and the great gathering
Of military, naval and uniformed civil
organisations gave much more than q
touch Of splendor to the scene.
In the senate chamber, where the
the oath was taken by the man now
vice.president of the United States.
there were gathered about 1000
people, all that the upper house will
contain without the risk of danger
because Of the rush and press Of the
multitudes. It is probable that mo-
where else In the United States at
any time are there gathered an equal
number of men and women whose
names are SO widely known. The
gathering in the senate chamber and
later on the east portico Of the capt.
toll was composed largely of those
prominent for their services in Amer
lea, and in part of foreigners who
have secured places for their names
in the current history of the worlds
doings.
The arrangements of the ceremonies
for the Inauguration of Woodrow Will
son and Thomas Riley Marshall were
made by the joint committee on ar
rangements of congress. The senate

Der. After the prayer the vice-presi-
dent administered the oath OF office
to all the newly chosen senators. and
Herewith the senate Of the United
States passed for the first time in
years into the control Of the Demo
cratic party.
Procession TO the Platform.
Immediately after the senate cere-
monies procession was formed to
march to the platform of the east por-
tico of the capitol. where Woodrow
Wilson was to take the oath. The pro-
cession included the president and the
president-elect, members of the Su-
preme court, both houses Of congress,
all of the foreign ambassadors, all of
the heads of the executive depart
ments, many governors of states and
territories, Admiral Dewey of the navy
and several high officers of the sea
service, the chief OF stafr of the army
and many distinguished persons from
members of the press and by those
persons who had succeeded in secur.
ing seats in the senate galleries to
witness the days proceedings.
When President Taft and the presi-
dent-elect emerged from the capitol
on to the portico they saw in front
Of them, reaching far back into the
park to the east, an immense con-
course of citizens. In the narrow line
between the onlookers and the plat
form on which Mr.. Wilson was to take
the oath, were drawn up the cadets
of the two greatest government
schools, West Point and Annapolis.
and flanking them were bodies Of reg
ulars and of national guardsmen. The
whole scene was charged with color
and with life.
On reaching the platform the presi-
dent and president-elect took the
seats reserved for them, seats which
were fanked by many rows of benches
rising tier on tier for the accommoda-
ton of the friends and families of the
officers of the government and of the
press.
Oath Administered to Wilson.
The instant that Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Wilson came within sight of the crowd
there was a great outburst OF ap-
plause, and the military bands struck
quickly into 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." Only few bars of the music
were played and then soldiers and CT
villains became silent to witness re-
spectfully the oath taking and to
listen to the address which followed.
The chief Justice of the Supreme
court delivered the oath to the presi-
dent-elect, who, uttering the words.
II WILL" became president of the
United States. AS soon as this cere-
mony was completed Woodrow Wilson
delivered his inaugural address, his
first speech to his fellow countrymen
in the capacity of their chief execu-
tive. rI.
At the conclusion of che speech the
bands played once more, and William
Howard Taft. now ex.president Of the
United States, entered a carriage with
the new president and, reversing the
order OF an hour before. sat on the
left hand side of the carriage, while
Mr.. Wilson took "the seat of honor"
on the right The crowds cheered as
they drove away to the White House,
which Woodrow Wilson entered as the
occupant and which William H. Taft

America rode in this division. Their
pink coats and their high hats ap-
parently were not thought to jar
"Jeffersonian simplicity" from its
seat. Pink coats were worn on the
hunting field in Jefferson's day and in
Jefferson's state.
There were 1000 Princeton students
in the civic section Of the parade.
Many OF them wore orange and black
sweaters and they were somewhat
noisy though perfectly proper. Stu
dents from seventeen other colleges
and universities were among the
marchers.
I Cheering IL Continuous.
Z All along Pennsylvania avenue from
the capitol to a point four block be-
yond the White House, the spectators
were massed in lines ten deep. The
cheering was constant and Woodrow
Wilson cannot complain that the cere-
monies attending his induction into
office were not accompanied by ap-
parently heartfelt acclaim of the peo-
pie over whom he is to rule for at
least four years.
Every window in every building on
Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc-
cupied for Office purposes was rented
weeks ago for a good round sum OF
money. Every room overlooking the
marching parade was taken by as
many spectators as cound find want
age point from which to peer through
the window panes. The roofs of the
buildings were covered with persons
willing to stand for hours in March
day to see the wonders of the inaugu-
raj parade. and many OF them partic-
ularly glad of an opportunity to go
home and to say that after many years
waiting they had seen Democratic
president inaugurated.

DEMOCRATS WIN BAY STATE.
Walsh Elected Governor, Carrying
with Him Entire Ticket.

with Him Entire Ticket.
Boston, Mass.-The Wilson De-
mocracy swept the State, Lieutenant
Governor Walsh being elected Cover
nor by a large plurality, and carrying
with him the entire State ticket. This
is the largest plurality ever given a
democratic candidate in Massachu-
sets.
Almost complete returns of the vote
for Governor are as follows for the
three leading candidates David ].
Walsh, 1884, Charles S. Bird, 1885,
$50; Congressman Augustus P. Gard
ner, 115,411. The surprise is the fact
that Bird has run ahead of Gardner.
Edward p. Barry, of Boston, demo
cratic nominee for Lieutenant Cover
nor. was also successful, his plurality
being placed at 10000. Governor Foss,
who said he was going to be swept
into Office by an avalanche was buried
about the same as last year.
The size of the vote throughout the
State is phenomenal for an off year,
when 100000 would be expected. The
total approximates that cast in the
Presidential election a year ago, when
Governor Foss received 1S3, 1S4 out of
479, 1892 votes.
The total vote of Boston for the
candidates for Governor was:-Bird,
(Prog.), 1851; Foss (Ind.), 1886;
Gardner (Rep.), 1924; Walsh (Dem.)
46,770. Plurality for Walsh, 28,099.
Boston last year gave Bird (Prog.),
Is $40; Walker (Rep.), 1929; Foss
(Dem.), 4S,665.
Governor-elect Walsh is the first
man of Irish extraction and Roman
Catholic faith chosen to be Governor
of Massachusetts,. He is 40 years old,
is a native of Leominster and has
risen rapidly. Starting as a cash boy,
he became in turn grocer's clerk, col.
lege student, lawyer, State Assembly
man and now Governor.

FUSION CARRIES IN mitchell.
Anti-Tammany Candidates Win in
New York City.


New York.-John Purroy Mitchell
rode safely into the Mayoralty of New.
York City on an anti-Tammany wave
which gave him 106,O12 plurality over
~ex-Justice Edward E. Mccall.
Fusion swept the city. It's candi-
dates will fill all the chairs at the
Board of Estimate meetings except
those in Queens, where Borough Presi-
dent Connolly, independent Democrat,
whom Fusion did not endorse, is
elected and in Richmond, where Nc
Cormack won.
The entire Fusion ticket vas
elected, giving the anti-Tammany
forces control of the Board of Esti-
mate, and therefore command of all
appropriations as follows:
Mayor-John Purroy Mitchell, Fus.,
8 votes; Comptroller-William A.
Prendergast, Fus., 8 votes; President
OF the Board of Aldermen-George E.
McAneny, Fus., 8 votes. Borough
Presidents: Observation-Disclosures M.
Marks, Fus., 2 votes; Brooklyn
Lewis H. Pounds, Fus., 2 votes;
Bronx-Douglas Mathewson, Rep, 1
vote; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ]. McCor-
mack, Dem, / vote.
This gives the Fusion IA out of 16
votes in the Board of Estimate. The
present board is anti-Tammany.
Another blow that Tammany suf-
fered was in the election of William,
Sulzer, the deposed Governor, as AS
semblyman from the Sixth Assembly
District. The P~rogressives of that dis
trict augmented their forces with hum
dreds of votes robbed from the Tam
many strength.
William Sulzer trlumphed over his
two rivals in the Sixth Assembly dis
trict by almost two to one. His vic
tory accomplished the defeat of Aaron
]. Levy as candidate for Municipal
Justice in the Second district.
Next to the loss of the Board of
Estimate, Tammany suffered its most
vital blow in having it's control of the
ASSEMBLE. wrested from its hands.
Tammany has elected 10 of the IS
Assemblymen in Manhattan and The
Bronx. A year ago it elected 33. OF
the 25 Assemblymen in Manhattan
and The Bronx who voted for the i'm
parchment of Sulzer and stood for re-
election 6 were defeated.
Philbin and Cardozo, Fusion, have
been elected to the Supreme Court.
Mott, fusion, defeated Foster, Tam
many. for Judge of General Sessions,
and Ransom, Fusion, has been elected
a Justice of the City Court,

hagen, Fusion: County Clerk, William
