MOST UNOSTENTATIOUS INAUGURAL
CEREMONY OF PRESIDENT HARDING
CALLS TO THE MIND OF HISTORIANS
DAYS WHEN "M0BS' RAN THINGS AT
INDUCTION OF A CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Washington March S-This year,
for the first time since William Henry
Harrison was iuaugurated in 1891 and
''rippicanoe" club started the custom
of pilgrimages to tho capital on a
big scale, an Inauguration has been
held without organized effort to at
tract crowds to the National Capital.
The great masses of humanity
which came to witness the introduce
ton of chief executives were con-
spicuous by their absence. The ex-
PLANTATION is the decree Of President
Harding that the customary inaugu-
raj parade, ball, fireworks and other
ostentatious display be eliminated.
Hundreds of visitors came, of
course. to see Mr.. Harding take the
oath of office and hear his inaugural
address, but there was no such crowds
as the railroads had expected to
bring and as the hotel proprietors,
restaurant Keepers and merchants had
hoped to cater to.
Scenes of Friday. March 4. con-
trasted strangely with those Of four
years ago when Woodrow Wilson was
inaugurated for the second time amid
| n great patriotic demonstration, with
| the nation verging on its declara-
tion Of war with Germany. Then
| there were all the elements Of a great
spectacle. military and civil In ad-
dition riflemen were stationed on
roofs and at windows along Pennsyl-
vania avenue to guard the President
and fifty boy scouts were concealed
under the inaugural platform to de-
tect any suspicious movements in the
crowds on the Capitol plaza

ers of '6l were said by writer's of the
day to have been expert German
riflemen."
Until this year the number of per-
SOFAS attending inaugural ccremon-
les has been increasing almost with
out exception since Madison took the
oath in 1903 The capital at that
time had grown to be a village of
5000 and writer's of that day said
that by ten o'clock on the morning of
March 1. Pennsylvania avenue was
crowded and that numerous slaves,

heads" mingled with the promenad-
ers

crowds have turned themselves into
mobs and literally taken possession
Of the city Historians record that
when General Jackson was inaugu-
rated in 1929 ii was necessary "to
stretch a ships cable" across the
capitol steps to protect him from his
enthusiastic friends. They first hem
ed him in at Gadby's tavern and il
was only with difficulty that he was
able to reach the capitol. His journey
to the White House was equally as
difficult and the crowds which fol
lowered him there broke into the exc
cutive mansion, smashing furniture
and tracking mud over the carpe
and floors.
