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.
At the conclusion Of the 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 az
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

monies at noon today in front of the
capitol were completed, tie Democrat

A throng of many Thousands of
people witnessed the newly elected
presidents induction into office. Nine
tenths of the members OF the crowd
were enthusiastically Joyful, the other

tenth cheered with them, as becoming
good American citizens watching a
governmental change ordered in ac-
c%ordance with the law and the Con-
stitution
The Bible which during each sue
cessive four years is kept as n Of
the treasures of the Supreme court,
was the immediate instrument of the
oath taking of Woodrow Wilson. Ed
ward Douglass White, chief justice OF
the United States, held the Book for
Mr.. Wilson to rest his hands upon
while he made solemn covenant to
support the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, and to fulhll the
duties of his Office as we'll n as
faithfully as it lay within his power
to do.
Thomas Riley Marshall swore zeal
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.
Ceremonies Simple and Impressive.
Both of the ceremonies proper were
conducted in a severely simple but
most impressive manner. h sur
roundings of the scene OF the presl'
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 2,00U
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
in the current history of the worlds
doings.
Arranged by Congress.
The arrangements of the ceremonies
for the Inauguration of Woodrow VIII
son and Thomas Riley Marshall were
made by the joint committee on ar
rangements of congress. The senate
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 Guido their Democratic
brethren In the work of making or
derby and impressive the Inaugural
ceremonies in honor of two chieftaiua
of the opposition.
President Taft and President-elecl
Wilson rode together from the WING
House to the capitol, accompanied by
two members of the congressiOna
committee Of arrangements. The vice
president-elect also rode from the
White House to the capitol and in the
carriage with him were the senate1s
president pro tempore, Senator Bacor
OF Georgia, and three members of the
congressional committee Of arrange
ments.

unbridled conversation, but just now
he is blessed with the asthma, and
can hardly breathe, let alone argue
