WATCH INDUCTION IN WINTER
Citizens of United States Have Given Years of Attention Merits
of Various Dates, and Now Hope That New January
Ceremony Will Prove Successful

The beginning OF wilson's second
term in 1917. when America was on
the verge Of declaring war on the CEN
trail powers, was the fourth and the
final case Of March falling on Sum-
day. Wilson elected to take the oath
privately at the Capitol on Sunday and
publicly on Monday.
The twentieth, or so-called 'lame
duck" amendment, which eliminates
the short term Of Congress on in
augural years, provides that Congress
shall meet on January 3, and that
presidential terms shall expire on
January 20. Since the innovation
takes effect regarding the Office of the
President in January, 1887, the
amendment automatically clipped of
43 days Of the term of whoever was
Chief Magistrate when it took effect.
Thus Roosevelt's "eight-year term" in
the White House is actually reduced
to Z years 10 months and IS days,
counting February with % days as the
month eliminated. His administration
will be the only "two-timer" which
has been shorn of its full 48 months.
A MOTHER innovation Of the cur
rent presidential election was the
meeting of the electoral college, which
convened, under an amendment to the
United States Code in 1884, on the
first Monday after the second Wednes-
day in December, which was December
IA, 1886.
On this date, to the 4s State capi-
tails, travelled some 531 electors, who
alone can legally elect the President
and Vice President, and with the ex-
ception Of the eight electors Of Maine
and Vermont. all cast their ballots for
Roosevelt and Garner.
For their services the presidential
electors are allowed SIS a day for pay
and 10 cents a mile for travelling ex-
penses. At the first inaugural Of
President Roosevelt the presidential
electors from the various States met
as group in Washington for the first
time and formed an organization. The
plan Is for them to repeat their con-
vening in the National Capital at the
time Of the second Roosevelt in
augural.
The January 20 inaugural will offer
many points Of contrast to past in
augurals. Congress, at its last session,
voted $35,000 for defraying certain
ofdcial expenses connected with the
inaugural. AS a matter of fact the
expenses will run a good deal higher
If past inaugurals furnish a reliable
criterion. To meet the added expenses
extra revenue must be raised. This is
done in number of ways.
To begin with, in the Autumn of
1896 bids from contractors we're called
for relative to the erection of the
inaugural platform at the Capitol
and the like. About three bids were
submitted, and the low one, slightly
over $4,000, was awarded the job.
Work commenced around the first of
December, and the contract calls for
completion of the structure two weeks
prior to Inauguration day, or a COM
pletion date Of January 6, 1887.
