While eating breakfasts General
Dawes invited a group of waiting

the expense of most of them.
President Coolidge sent for Di

Just as the official party had as
semblcd a cloud passed in front of
the sun casting the White House in
to sombcr relief. The Weather Bur-

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE
Acknowledged Plaudits

As he rode along, the President
repeatedly acknowledged the plaudits
of the crowd by touching his hat and
General Dawes lifted his hat clear off
his head many times as special out
bursts of applause seemed to be di-
rected in his direction.
The presidential car came to a
stop at the Senate entrance on the
plaza at 11:16.
The party climbed up the long
flight of steps leading from the
plaza to the entrance on Il level with
the Senate floor and President Cool
idgc went at once to the Presidents
room just off the Senate chamber
while General Dawes was escorted
to the Vice Presidents room near
by. Cabinet members accompanied
the President to advise him in sign
ing Of last minute legislation.
While he was hard at work, his
second in command was taking it
easy in a big leather chair before a
't,eerful CRATE fire in the Vice Pres
iAnt's room. The dipper pipe re-
NAMED tucked away in his pocket and
presently as he arose to shake his
legs in front of the fireplace the
Vice President took out cigar in
stead and lighted up.
Few Nervous Fuffs
Evidently the result did not fulfill
expectations. After a few nervous
puffs the General looked it over
uspiciously, tossed it in the crate
and hauled out the pipe. AS soon as
he got it going full draft he seemed
perfectly contentcd.
Inside the Senate chamber the
stage was set for the Inauguration
Of Mr.. Dawes and just before noon
while the distinguished guests were
arriving, the sun burst through its
cloud barrier and pierced the color
ed glass roof Of the chamber with
shafts OF warm light.
Mrs. Coolidge entered the pres
idcnt's gallery and other spectators
arose. She took seat beside Col
onel John Coolidge. A moment later
Mrs. Nellie Ross, Wyoming's COVER
nor, entered the chamber itself on
the arm Of Senator Warren. She was
greeted by handclapping as she was
escorted to a seat.
The hour of noon was only three
minutes away when the Speaker and
members of the House arrived and

minutes.
AS the Presidents Cabinet started
to file in behind the diplomats, the
clock was set back another six min
utes because officially Mr.. Dawes
had to take the oath before twelve
o'clock noon by the Senate clocks.
When Vice President-clect Dawes
entered, the first round of applause
broke out. 1t swclled TO an ovatio on

and cheering a moment later when

GORDON To Be
REAPPO|NTED,
IS BELIEF
Another Term for District
Attorney Foreshadowed
in Conferences

The reappointment Of Major Pey-
ton Gordon as District attorney was
foreshadowed at the White House
today.
Major Gordon has been in con.
ference with President Coolidge
twice within the past three weeks,
and it is understood, while the mat
ter of his continuance in his pres
emit office was not discussed, the
President was impressed favorably
with Major Gordon's statement on
District litigation.
There is no serious opposition to
Major Gordon's reappointment, it
was indicated today at the White
House. No other candidates have
any consistent backing, at least so
far, and the local Republican
organization, while not supporting
Gordon with real enthusiasm. has
not interposed any objection to him.
Major Gordon's term expires in
August, and it is probable Presi-
dent Coolidge will announce the re-
appointment while on his vacation
at Swampscott.
Unless. the. present situation is
entirely changed within the next
few weeks, Il was said today. Cor.
don's reappointment may be looked
upon as "a certainty. III -
