WILSON &MAR8HALL
INAUGURATED IN PRES?
ENCE OF THOUSANDS
Washington. D. C.. March 4?
Woodrow Wilson, ot New Jersey.
was inaugurated today as President
of the United States; Thomas K.
Marshall, of Indiana, its vice
President; Democracy, the vehicle
of itt destiny.
Under the dome of the nation's
capitol, in the presence of c ? ountless
cheering concourse of his fellow'
citizens, the new President raised a
hand toward a prophetic run that
burst, dissolving clouds, tnd peo*
oounced the occasion a day of ded?
ication, not of triumph.
It was an intensely human, prece?
dent breaking inauguration. With
member** of his chosen cabinet sur?
rounding him, the justices of the
Supreme Court before him, his wife
and daughters actually dancing for
joy on the platform below, and
William Howard Taft, ex-President
of the nation, at his side, the new
President shouted a summons to all
"honest, patriotic, forward looking
men" to aid him, extending the
promise that he would not fail them
in the guidance of their government.
While the President's concluding
inaugural words were tossing in tu?
multuous waves of tpp.tuse. thc
retirirg President clasped his hand
and enlisted as a patriotic servant ic
the rtnkt of private citiz nship.
"Mr. Preaident." stid Mr. Taft
his face beaming with a smile,
with you t successful administrate
and the carrying out of your aims
We will all be behind you."
"Thank you." ttid Presiden
Wilson, and he turned to shake th
hand of his tecretary of state, Wil
liam J. Bryan.
There they stood?Taft, standar
bearer of a vtquished party, aft.
sixteen ycart of power; Bryan, pe
tittent plodder of progressive den
ocracy. thrice defeated, accepting
commission from 9 new chieftaii
and Wilton, the man of the hot
victorious mustering, tt he expres
ed it "not thc torcct of ptrty, b
the forces ot humanity."
It was a political picture far t
yood thc conception oi t few yci
-one by, ? awttltat tbat stirred t
ti fee *ummb*t4 ngtu who.

rwisojr
:heerir.g at the scene seemed to re?
verberate from the distant Virginia
sills.
The military and civic pageant;
that followed this climax of th,
historic day. was more th*n fiv.
Lours passing in review. Leaving
Capital Hill at 2 o'clock, the last o
the marching thousands had no
saluted the President unti' long arte
darkness had -.alien.
President Wilson stood for mor
than an hour under the glare o
myriads of brilliant electric lights a
he greeted thousands in the lon,
line, among them the host of Prince
ton students, who as they passe
before him. shouted a hearty greet
ing that he never can forget.
The music of the bands, the gli
ter of the uniforms and all the ex
thusiasm that had gone before hil
had stirred him again and again bi
the sight ot this cheering studei
army was to Pr. sident Wilson a
inspiration that brought cherishe
memories and joyous tears. N
long after the boys from old Niss.
had passed, he turned from tl
human panorama and entered tl
White House to grasp the wheel i
the ship of state.
