II 10 now Gov. Bilbo OF Mississippi
and as such the distinguished young
man from Pearl River county since
noon Of Jan. Is stands solemnly, con.
s~titutionally and formally proclaimed.
The inauguration ceremonies, as map
ped out weeks ago were carried out as
far as 1t was possible in view of the
inclement weather.
With a parade including civilians
and military, officials and aides to the
new governor, the actual formality of
escorting the governor-elect to the
capitol was carried out. Fully 800 en-
listed men were in line, added to
which was the cadet corps from Mis-
sissippi A. & M. College, two military
bands and additional musicians from
different towns, notably that from BIZ
loxi, with 30 pieces.
Owing to the raw weather, after the
parade had reached the capitol and
those In charge had consulted togeth-
er, 1t was decided to abanon the open
air proceedings and adjourn indoors to
the hall Of representatives. The scene
was brilliant and impressive, with
floor and galleries swarming with
men and women.
Standing or the rostrum and before
a thousand pairs of eyes, Theodore
Gilmore Bilbo took the oath Of office
as administered by Chief Justice Sid
ney M. Smith after a fervent invoca-
tion by Rev. H. NJ. King, pastor of the
Second Baptist Church of Jackson.
While this formality was in progress a
hundred young men of Jackson were
engaged In hosting the mammoth flag
from Canton, o., to the space selected,
draping it about the dome of the build
ing, where 1t was admired by thou.
sands who stood and beheld.
The Introductory address OF Mayor
s. ]. Taylor was impressive and was
Interrupted by bursts of applause, but
greatest wave Of enthusiasm was
when Gov. Bilbo arose
from his seat beside his father, i'm
and venerable looking, with
his patriarchal snowy beard, and be.
gan his carefully prepared address.
The retiring governor, Earl Brewer,
who about two years ago directed the
prosecution of Mr.. Bilbo on charges of
bribery, Of which Bilbo was acquitted,
.ook no part in his successors inau-
,uration.
