section Of this committee was ruled
by a majority of Republicans, but
there is Democratic testimony to the
fact that the Republican senators
were willing to outdo their Democratic
brethren in the work of making or
derly and impressive the inaugural
ceremonies in honor of two chieftains
of the opposition.
Ride to the Capitol.
President Taft and President-elect
Wilson rode together from the White
House to the capitol, accompanied by
two members of the congressional
committee of arrangements. The vice
president-elect also rode from the
White House to the capitol and in the
president pro tempore, Senator Bacon
Of Georgia, and three members of the
congressional committee of arrange
ments.
The vice-president-elect took the
oath just before noon in accordance
with custom and prior to its taking
by the president-elect. Every arrange
ment for the senate chamber pro-
ceedings had been made so that they
moved forward easily and with GER
tain ponderous grace.

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-
t1co of the capitol, where Woodrow
Wilson was to take the oath. The pro-
cession included the president and the
pres1dent-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 staff of the army
and many distinguished persons from
civil life. They were followed by the
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 f1anking 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 flanked 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 "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." Only a few bars of the music
were played and then soldiers and CT
Villains hecama silent to Witness 80
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-
dentelect, who, uttering the words,
Il 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.
At the conclusion of the speech the
bands played once more, and William
Howard Taft, now ex-president OF the
United States, entered 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
Immediately left as one whose lease
had expired

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.
Cheering Is Continuous.
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 ind a 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 partio-
ularly glad Of an opportunity to go
home and to say that after many years
waiting they had seen . Democratic
prsstdsat inaugurated.

Formation of Parade.
The military and the civil parade, a
huge affair which stretched it's
length for miles along the Washington
streets, formed on the avenues radiat-
ing from the capitol. After President
elect Wilson had become President
Wilson and ce-President-elect Mar
shall had become Vice-President
Marshall, they went straightway from
the capitol to the White House and
thence shortly to the reviewing stand
in the park at the mansions front.
The parade, with Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, United States army, as it's
grand marshal, started from the capi-
tol grounds to move along the avenue
to the White House, where it was to
pass in review. The trumpeter sound
ed forward march" at the instant the
signal was 1ashed from the White
house that In fifteen minutes the new
ly elected president and commander
1n-chief of the armies and navies of
the United States would be ready to
review "his troops"
1t was thought that the parade might
lack some Of the picturesque features
which particularly appealed to the
people on former occasions. There
were Indians and rough riders here
not only when Roosevelt was inaugu-
rated, but when he went out of Office
and was succeeded by William H.
Taft. The parade, however, in honor
Of Mr. Wilson seemed to be pictur-
esque enough in its features to appeal
to the multitudes. They certainly
made noise enough over it

with General Wood as the grand
marshal of the whole affair and hav-
ing a place at its head. The display,
in the words invariably used on like
occasions, was Impressive and bril-
liant"
Wotherspoon Leads Regulars.
The regulars of the country's two
armed service naturally had the right
of way. Maj. Gen. w. w. Wother-
spoon, United States army, was in
command of the first division, in
which marched the soldiers and sailors
and marines from the posts and the
navy yards within a days ride Of
Washington. The West Point cadets
and the midshipmen from the naval
academy at Annapolis, competent be-
yond other corps in manual and In
evolution, the future generals and ad-
mirals of the army, had place in the
first division.
All branches Of the army service
were represented in the body of regu-
lars-engineers, artillery, cavalry, in
fantry and signal corps. The sailors
and marines from hali dozen battle
ships rolled along smartly in the wake
of their landsmen brethren.
The National Guard division follow
ed the division Of regulars. It was
commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert L.
Mills, United States army, who wore
the medal of honor given him for con-
spicuous personal gallantry at the bat
tie of San Juan hill. General Mills is
the chief of the militia division Of the
United States war department.
The entire National Guard of New
Jersey was In line, and Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia,
Georgia, Maine and North Carolina
were represented by bodies of civilian
soldiers. Cadets from many Of the
private and state military schools Of
the country had place In the militia
division.
The third division of the parade was
composed of Grand Army of the Re-
public veterans, members OF the Union
Veteran league and Of the Spanish
war organizations. Gen. James E..
Stuart of Chicago, a veteran Of both
the. Civil and the Spanish wars, was
In command.
Thousands Of Civilians.
Robert N. Harper, chief marshal Of
the civic forces, commanded the fourth
division. Under his charge were po-
litical organizations from all parts Of
the country, among them being Tam
many, represented by 1000 Of its
braves, and Democratic clubs from
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and other cities.
They put the American Indians into
the civilian division. The fact that
they were in war paint and feathers
helped out in picturesqueness and did
nothing to disturb the peace. Mem
