Grover Cleveland was inaugurated
with simple ceremonies in 1885. He
later served second term, follow
ing four years in which Benjamin
Harrison was chief executive.
Harrison's inaugural was spoiled
by a pouring rain.
The President-elect and his pre-
decessor rode together in an open
carriage. An attempt was made to
raise an umbrella but 1t would not
open. 1t was necessary to borrow
one from Secretary Fairchild, cab

Four years later William McKin-
ley came into office with one of the
most colorful parades Of inaugural
history. He died before the expira-
ton Of his term and was succeeded
by the Spanish American war hero,
Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt was reelected and
staged a parade that included all
forms Of military and civic organ
izations. Indians, veterans from two
wars, bands and his celebrated for

The successor to Roosevelt was
William Howard Taft, the only chief

Ball" The first three administra-
tons had been conservative. The
next was just the opposite.
The night James Madison was
indicted into office a grand ball was
staged, probably under auspices OF
the chief executives wife, the FASH
ionable Dolly Madison who Is re-
puted to have had the first bath tubs
installed in the White House.
Following the retirement Of Mad
ison, there were two more conser-
vative inaugurals, those for James
Monroe and John Quincy Adams,
son of the second chief executive.
The ceremonies staged for these two
were simple and quiet.
jackson Swayed Masses
The election of Andrew Jackson,
however, brought back to Washing
ton some of the old hilarity that
was present during the Madison re-
CINE. People all over the country
were wearing Hickory leaves IN the
lapels and carrying Hickory canes
as tokens of their allegiance to the
fiery backwoodsman.
The President, grief stricken over
the death of his beloved Rachel,
tried to shake the hand of every
person who pushed into the White
House following his inaugural. The
crowd became boisterous, chairs and
tables we're broken, mirrors and
glassware smashed. "Old Hickory"
was forced to seek the quiet OF an
upstairs apartment.

Washington Rode
In Majestic
Carriage
BY JOHN M. VOYT

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
Washington U.P) Jan. 49,
Scenes of gayety, sad scenes wet
with the tears of nation, scenes OF
tense gravity and uproarious cele-
bration have marked past Presiden-
tial inaugurations.
Every Inauguration has been held
under widely different circum-
stances. Each has been marked by
typical American disregard for the
formal ceremonies Of older nations.
The one inaugural which came near
to resembling England's dignified
coronation ceremonies was the Sec
ond Inauguration of George Wash
ington.
The stately general, dressed in
fine lace, shining silk and flashing
silver buckles, rode in a majestic
carriage, drawn by six prancing,
white horses. The Liberty Bell atop
independence Hall rang out a con-
tinuous cheer off:
Long live George Washington,
President of the United States"
When John Adams came into
Office four years later, his Inaugural
ton was quiet and simple-a strik-
ing contrast to the lavish ceremonies
for his predecessor. Adams, first
President to occupy the partly COM
pleted White House, paid high trib-
ute to Washington and the Consti-
tuition and retired quietly for the re-
mainder of his inaugural day.
Jefferson in Homespuns
Even more simple was the quiet,
uneventful inaugural of Thomas
jefferson, the first chief executive
to take the oath Of office In Wash
ington. The founder of the demo-
cratic party rode to the Capitol on
horseback. There, standing proud
and erect, clothed in homeSpun, he
was sworn in by Chief Justice Mar
shall on a platform erected on the
steps of the partly completed
Capitol.
Up to March 4, 1909, no inaugura-
ton had been climaxed by what Is
known today as the Inaugural

The longest peace time parade In
the history Of the nations capital
accompanied President Wilson in his
first inaugural parade. Wave after
wave Of soldiers and other military
units passed in review.
Troops Massed For Wilson
The second Wilson Inauguration
also saw one Of the biggest military
displays ever to assemble.
Troops already had begun to won-
der when they would be called to
march under entirely different cir
cumstances. Months later those
same faces were peering grimly over
the trenches in France.
Inaugural ceremonies for the first
two postwar presidents, Warren g.
Harding and Calvin Coolidge, were
quiet and without splendor.
The Inauguration of Herbert
Hoover brought back some Of the
glamour Of previous pageants. A
grand procession was staged but
rain lowered the spirits of spectators
and participants.
Roosevelt Warmly Received
Four years later the market had
crashed, businesses had gone into
bankruptcy, banks had failed and
the nation was in the throes Of the
depression. Spirits were low. Mon
ey was scarce for taking trips to
see a President installed, but a
huge crowd watched the inaugura-
ton of Franklin d. Roosevelt on
March 4, 1888.
It was one Of the grandest cele-
brations that the democrats had
staged for many years. Gay hunt
ing and flags hung everywhere.
The day broke crisp and bright.
Early in the morning the crowds
had already began assembling in
choice positions along Pennsylvania
Avenue. Bands played; soldiers,
sailors, marines and civic organiza-
tons passed in parade lasting for
hours, q"

Madison Switched Sides

There were seven staunch de-
tenders of state sovereignty at the
convc ation, Brant said, and all seven
took a walk or refused to sign. So
how, he asks, can anyone consider
the Constitution a states rights
document?
"The debates Of the constitu-
tionaI convention were kept secret
for so years and Madison had
charge Of the only copy In exist
ence," Brant explained.
"In 1880, Madison quarreled po-
litically WITH Alexander Hamf-
ton and became follower :. OF
Thomas Jefferson. He turned at
that point from a nationalist into
a state Fighter and spent all the
rest OF his time interpreting the
Constitution contrary TO the prin-
cipIes no had laid down while
helping TO frame It.
madison SO distorted the his
tory Of the constitutional c0nven-
tion that the effect has lasted 15O
years."
OF course II you're suspicious Of
all this, you can read the constitu-
tional debates for yourself.

Washington, Jan. 19-Mr. Roose-
welt, as he moves toward some ac-
ton to curb the powers he feels
have been usurped by the U. S.
Supreme Court, will undertake to
show that his attitude toward the
Constitution Is similar to that Of
the founding fathers who wrote 1t,
and that members of the court are
the ones who have misinterpreted
that document.
So his followers and spokesman
will raise the shade of poor bred
Scott, quote the critical dissents
of Justices Brandeis, Stone, and
CardozO, and launch expeditions
back to the point $50 years ago
when the Constitutions trainers
were telling one another exactly
what they thought they were
doing.
In his first message to this Con-
gress, the president urged all hands
to read the constitutional rebates.
You can do that. with surprising re-
suits, because the history Of the
Constitutions origins Is still I'M
known to the great bulk Of Ameri-
cans.
Just how interesting such study
can be was demonstrated in Wash
ington the other da yby Irving
Brandt of the st. Louis Star Times,
an authority whose Storm Over the
Constitution" is kept handy around
the White House and In other i'm
portant New Deal offices.
League Sidesteps Debate
If it could be proved that the
trainers of the Constitution intend
ed to give Congress the power to
establish mercantile monopolies,
Brandt argued in speech to the
Peoples Lobby, it would follow that
the government had constitutional
power to go far beyond anything
found In the New Deal and could
even take over the economic life of
the nation.
No answer to Brandt's effort to
prove that government mOn0p-
Opies are constitutional Is avail
able, because the American Lib
erty League. which was asked to
send the chairman Of its lawyers
committee or somebody else to de-
bate the point, didn't accept the
invitation.
Three days before the Constitu-
ton was signed, Brandt pointed out
that James Wilson of Pennsylvania
told the convention: "As to mer-
camille monopolies, they are already
included in the power to regulate
trade"
Wilson was the outstanding legal
scholar of his time and Washington
later made him one Of the original
justices of the supreme court.
Power Vested in Congress
Brant finds further evidence in
the fact that George Mason Of Vir-
ginia gave as one reason for his re-
fusal to sign the Constitution that
"the Congress may grant monop-
olies in trade and commerce"
Elbridge Gerry Of Massachu-
sets, also refusing to sign, COM
planned that under the power Of
commerce. monopolies may be es-
tab.ishcd."
James Madisn, often called the
Constitutions father" said that
"the power to regulate commerce
Is indlvisibIe and ought to be
wholly under one authority" =. =.
Madison also proposed in letters
to Washington and Edmund RAN
