Parade Changes Miff Man, 68,
Who Saw 14 Inaugurations
A BS-year-oia reurea utw cmuiuici
of the Interior Department who has
seen 14 Presidents inducted into of
fice is planning to observe the in
augural ceremonies January 20, but
it is strictly "under protest."
The gentleman in question is Wil
liam J. Conlyn, and his protest will
consist of seeing the proceedings
from a bus or street car instead of
paying good money for a grand stand
seat.
"I just want to keep up my record,”
he said. "Otherwise, I wouldn’t go
at all.”
The thing that takes all the fun
out of the party for Conlyn is the
fact that District units of National
Guard, Naval Reserves, High School
Cadet Corps and others have had
to yield to New Deal alphabet crea
tions—the C. Oi C. and the N. Y. A.—
the positions in the inaugural parade
that they have held since they were
of sufficient size to participate.
Wants All to March.
"Let them all march,” he said, "even
if it takes four hours. Any one who
gets tired can always go home.”
Conlyn, who lives at 1936 Thirty
fifth street, has seen every inaugu
ral since Rutherford B. Hayes was |
escorted from the Capitol to the j
White House in 1877 and is positive |
that his family carried him to the
ceremonies celebrating Grant’s re- ,
election in 1872.
In only four cases, he said, was the ,
weather really good. The favored
quartet were Garfield, Cleveland, j
Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. He
stood in the rain in rubber boots to
see Benjamin Harrison take the oath. 1
"Cleveland’s first inauguration made
by far the most vivid impression upon
me,” he said. "I was 15 at the time.
The weather was so warm you could
stand outside in your shirt sleeves
and the pageant was marvelous. It
was the first tifce the Democrats had
won since the Civil War and they
made a national affair of the induc
tion. Others had, generally speak
ing, been leal celebrations. One
hundred thousand visitors registered
here and no one knows how many
more drove In from nearby Maryland
and Virginia for the ceremonies.
There was more feeling exhibited at
that parade than at any of the oth
ers I have seen.”
Franklin Roosevelt’s First.
Next to Cleveland’s first, Franklin
Roosevelt's first was the finest he has
viewed, Conlyn said. Teddy Roose
velt's rough-riding horsemen pranc
ing down Pennsylvania avenue left
him unaffected, he said, although he
admitted It was "colorful.” McKin
ley's parade, in which 20,000 troops
from Pennsylvania alone marched,
was unquestionably the longest he has
attended.
“I have seen most of these cere
monies from curbs, grand stands or
windows," he continued. ”1 watched
Garfield go by from atop a post in
front of the Treasury Building. I
have paid usually from %2 to *5 for
seats. The first time I can remem
ber seeing any grand stands was at
Cleveland's first inauguration.”
The most popular parade units he
has seen parading, he asserted, were
the West Point cadets, the .Annapolis
midshipmen and the Richmond Blues.

activities deemed most vital to na
tional defense, including speeding up

Non-Coms Politicians.
Washington, as Commander-in-Chlef
of the Army of the Revolution, at
tempted to have all the officers under
him from the class of gentlemen so
that they would command the respect
of the soldiers. But most of the non
commissioned officers were elected by
the men in the ranks,-and many of the
elections savored of ward politics at its
best, or rather its worst.

FRANK 10 REVEAL
Ousted President Delays
Statement—La Follette
en Route Here.
By the Axoclated Prex.
MADISON, Wis., January 9.—Uni
versity of Wisconsin students, after
Friday’s wild' protest demonstrations,
returned to campus routine, today,
awaiting a formal statement from Dr.
Glenn Frank on his removal from the
university presidency.
Frank, ousted by an 8-to-7 vote of
the Board of Regents Thursday, prom
ised to disclose "whether he would
abide by the decision of the board,
controlled by regents appointed by
Gov. Philip F. La Follette, Progres
sive party chieftain.
The university president, who indi
cated earlier he yould issue the state
ment tonight, said he had postponed
it.
In a brief interview last night Frank
said he endured the two-day hearing
of charges that he was Inefficient and
extravagant only because "certain
principles were at stake.”
Gov. La Follette. who denied Frank
supporters’ charges that politics dic
tated the ouster, but said "any un
biased person” would conclude reten
tion of Frank wss not desirable, left
today for Washington with his broth
er, Senator Robert M. La Follette.
They Intend to confer with President
Roosevelt on relief end unemployment
problems, prepa~atory to the conven
ing of the Legislature Wednesday.
In view of Frank’s promise of a
statement, self-styled student leaders
withheld plans for future mass ac
tivity. Yesterday almost a score of
policemen were called to quell dis
order when students Invaded the Cap
itol and demanded that the Governor
address them.
A statement from the Wisconsin
Student Alliance, a liberal organiza
tion, called for appointment of a suc
cessor to Frank who will be "con
sistent with Wisconsin’* liberal tradi
tions and precedents.”
