MAN Of the People"
When Andrew Jackson was elected
in the fall of 1928 the people OF the
west and the radical elements OF the
south scored triumph and he was
hailed as a man of the people This
character was emphasized on the day
of his inauguration the following
March, for never before had such 3
huge motley throng gathered in Wash
ington. Jackson's wife had died not
long before. and he asked that the

MARSHALL SWORN IN FIRST
Simple Ceremony In Senate Chamber
Followed by More Impressive
Affair on East Portico Of
the Capitol.
By GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington, March Ain the pres
ence of a vast throng Of his fellow citi-
zens, Woodrow Wilson today stood in
front of the east portico of the capitol
and took the oath of president Of the
United States. Thomas r. Marshall
already had been sworn in as vice
president, and with the completion Of
the ceremony the ship OF state was
manned by the Democratic party,
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 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 Office to the best
of his ability.
Thomas Riley Marshall swore fea]-
ty to the Constitution and to the
people in the senate chamber, where
for four years it 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 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
organizations gave much more than a
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. 1t is probable that no
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

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 ether 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

ships rolled along smartly in the wake

The inauguration of Jefferson, which

party of Hamilton, Washington;

place in Washington. The newly es-

inha bitants, many Of them negroes;
the houses were mostly huts and the
streets muddy roads. The big event
was thus described in the Philadelphia

Formation Of Parade.
The military and the civil parade, q
huge affair which stretched its
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 Vice 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 its
grand marshal, started from the capt.
toll 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 flashed from the White
house that in fifteen minutes the new
ly elected president and commander
in-chief of the armies and navies OF
the United States would be ready to
review Ibis troops" m
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.

Washington, March 4.-The "Jef1er.
sonian simplicity" which Woodrow
Wilson requested should be observed
in every detail of his inauguration as
president did not apply to the inaugu-
raj parade, for it was as elaborate as
such an affair usually is. The people
wanted it so, and they showed their
appreciation OF the spectacle by turn
ing out by the hundred thousand and
cheering wildly as the marchers pass
ed with bands playing loudly and flags
waving bravely.
The newly inaugurated president re
viewed the procession and smiled his
approval as he returned the salutes OF
the commanding officers, for all the
glttering show had been arranged in
his honor Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to the White House, was
full of color, music and movement.
People Enjoy the Sight.
The inhibition of the inaugural ball
and of the planned public reception at
the capitol had no effect as bar to
the attendance at this ceremony OF
changing presidents. Masses were here
to see, and other masses were here to
march. There was a greater demon
stration while the procession was pass
ing than there was four years ago
Victory had come to party which
had known nothing like victory for a
good many years. The joy Of posses
sion found expression in steady and
abundantly noisy acclaim.

By EDWARD WEBSTER.

From the very beginning Of the na-

been a day of display and festivity
for the people of the United States,
though at times national conditions
have made it an occasion more solemn
than Joyous But always the induction
of a new president has been note
worthy and interesting event.
When George Washington was in
augurated the first president in 1889,
New York was the temporary capital
of the young nation and 1t was there
that the ceremony took place after
General Washington had ridden from

was used for the first time for the in

their mad rush the crowds smashed

food as if they were starving. The
confusion became more and more al

dent, who had retreated until he was
pressed against the wall of the apart

serious danger by number OF gen

address, and then the president led
the procession back to the White
House. The exposure was too much for
him and within one month he was
dead.
When Lincoln Took Hold.
Immensely dramatic was the first
inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in
1861. From the day Of his election
threats against his life were numer-
GUS, and detectives discovered and
foiled an organized plot to assassinate
him on his way to Washington. The
big bodies Of troops that had been
employed at former inaugurations
merely to add pomp to the occasion
now were used for the protection of
the president.
The day had opened cloudy, chilly
and dismal, but as the president step
ped forward to take the oath from
the aged Chief Justice fancy the sun
burst through the clouds and shone
full on the bowed head of the man
who was to give up his life for the
country he loved. Lincoln himself
noticed this "sunburst'n' and drew
from it happy augury.
