INAUGURAL
NEWS PAGE
8 |NAUGURALS
HARD HIT BY
WEATHER

Thrice in the history Of Washing
ton has the Inauguration Of a
President taken place in roaring.
implacable March winds, sleet and
cold.
On each of these occasions a
movement has been started to shift
the inaugural date from March a
to a day later in the spring, when
the Capital is at it's best. Despite
the persistency of this campaign,
however, Congress has always re-
fused to enact the necessary legis.
lation.
When Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was
inaugurated for his second term in
1873, the day was one Of the coldest
the Capital had ever known. An
elaborate parade had been arranged,
with delegations from all parts Of
the country.
Hundreds Freeze Feet
Hundreds of the marchers were
forced to drop out Of line with
frozen feet. Among these were sew
eral West Point cadets. There were
a few deaths from exposure. The
pageant had to be curtailed, and
of the thousands who came to the
city to witness 1t there were only
a handful in the stands at the .l1se.
When Benjamin Harrison was in.
Quoted into office in 1889, another
fearful day was experienced, but
this time it was a heavy downpour
OF rain rather than a wintry gale
that ruined the event.
At the Capitol General Harrison
insisted on going out on the open
portieo to deliver his address. A huge
crowd had stood for hours in the
plaza waiting to hear him, and he
was determined not to disappoint
his admirers. He caught a severe
cold.
The rain did not daunt the chief
marshal of the parade-General
Beaver, one-legged governor Of
Pennsylvania, who rode his horse,
hat in hand, thoroughly water
soaked.
Prices of umbrellas reached a high
water mark that day. Despite the
length of the procession, compare.
lively few delegations dropped out
and the crowd along Pennsylvania
Avenue stuck doggedly TO the end.
Tough for Taft
The present generation of Wash
ingtonians will never forget the in
auguration of President William
Howard Taft, in 1903. The day be-
fore seemed to promise the mildest
most agreeable spring day possible;
Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief Of the
Weather Bureau, burned all his
bridges behind him" and predicted
that the meteorological gods would
favor the Capital with delectable
weather.
Prof. Moore was so grotesquely
wrong that for years afterward his
forecast was stock joke for the
city. Shortly before midnight before
the inaugural, a severe snowstorm
set in, a storm which piled the snow
up high on the city streets. making
them all but impossible, stalled in
coming railroad trains by the score,
and forced down all the telegraph
lines leading north and west from
the Capital.
Washington for many hours was
literally cut off from the outside
world. Many visitors were held in
snowbound trains far from the city
limits. Newspaper accounts Of the
ceremony were held up by lack OF
telegraphic facilities; even press as
sociation stories had to be routed
to New York via New Orleans and
Denver.
Prof. Moore said a bareback
from a gale which was roaring or
the South Atlantic coast was re
sponsible for the failure of his
prophecy that day. Washington

To hear the Oldest lnhabltant
tell it our forthcoming event is to
be pale and tepid compared to the
festivities that the Capital had in
the sos or the '90s, the genera
ton before the jazz and prohibition
era.
The old-time Washingtonian would
not exchange his memories for
these old-fashioned inaugurations
for a whole cycle of our modern
version of the induction cere-
mony. To him they are as much
a part of the city in its muddy,
sprawling, red-brick days as the
Capital itself.
