ESCORT FOR EACH
MARSHALL'S CAVALRY TROOP-TO
EQUAL WILSON'S-IN PARADE .
OF INAUGURAL DAY.
BLACK HORSE FROM INDIANA
Elimination of the Grand Ball Really
a Blessing Plans Are Announced
for the Elaborate Illumination of
the Capital City.
By GEORqE CLINTON. ,
Washington. For the first time in
the history of the ceremonies of in
augurating the chief executive of the
United States, a vice-president-elect
is to be escorted to the capitol by a
cavalry troop forming a- guard of hon
or fn . fiize and appearance the equal
of that which acts as a mounted es
cort to the president-elect. Thomas
Riley Marshall, the next vice-president
of this country, will be the pre
cedent smasher, his escort consisting
of a black horse squadron from In
diana, , -
Some of the members of the com
mittee on, inaugural ceremonies did
not. take altogether kindly to the plans
of Mr. Marshall's friends to make sec
ond place.-equal to first place, but
Woodrow. Wilson, hearing of the op
position, said his partner on the ticket
and in office should be allowed any
thing and everything In honors that
his friends saw fit, and so it was that
the parade managers withdrew all ob
jections to the"; appearance of . the
Hoosier black horse squadron which
wilrdo- honor-toMarsha:U' of Indiana,
Th vice-ptvldent-eiectprdinarily'
rides . from the '.White House ' to . the
capitol with the outgoing vice-pre1-deiot
or the president pro tem oh the
senate, as the case may be, in a car
riage following the one occupied by
the president-elect, but with sufficient
distance and enough people ' In be
tween the two to make It known' that
the escort of honor is for the chief
and not for the subordinate. This
year, however, there will be two es-;
corts of honor and a division of the
acclaim of the people along the route.
The mettled chargers which will pre
cede, flank and take up the rea'r of Mr.
Marshall's carriage are the property
of a prirate military 'school In the
Hoosier state and they will be bestrid
den by husky'-cadets trained. It is said,
along cavalry lines like unto those
followed at West Point.
. Omission of Ball a Blessing. '
The members of the committee of ar
rangements for the Wilson and Mar
shall doings seem to have reconciled
themselves to the loss of-the inaugural
ball and to the turning down of the
"grand public reception" plan. They
are busy now letting the country know
that th- elimination of the inaugural
ball is very much of a blessing. This
might appear to be simply a matter
of putting a good face on a disappoint
ment, but while the loss of the ball
r.;ay be a disappointment to the mem
bers of the committee personally, they
are telli'ng'the truth "when they' say if
is a blessing.'
Perry Belmont, who-is a member of
the inaugural committee, has said:
"The figures which I have compiled
after digging out the statistics since
Harrison's inauguration in 18S$ con
vince me that an inaugural ball is a
vastly over-rated function. About 12.
000 persons attended the ball when
Harrison was inaugurated, and since
that timethe attendance haa de
creased, steadily. At the Taft affair
a little more than 8,000 people went
to the ball snd tof these only 500
bought supper tickets. The decrease
in attendance at the balls has gone
hand in hand with an Increase in the
size of the crowds which have -come
tc Washington."
.'Parade a Cavalry Affair.
- The evident Intention is to make the
Wilson inaugural parade, to as great
an extent as possible, a "cavalry af
fair." ' The Ebsox- troops of New
Jersey and the black 'squadron from
Indiana will have places of honor, but
they . iwindle away to the proportions
of a. cavalry corporal's guard when
compared to theverflowing ranks of
the other mounted organizations
which will follow the leader from the
White House to capitol. "
Thereare.to, be ,00 mounted fox
hunters fn tha 'parade drawn from
the various hunt clubs of the country,-
all. of which , the proponents : of
Democratic simplicity tell us In the
typewriting of the press ' agents ' are
"exclusive organizations." Aristocracy,
tfcerefore, on horseback and wearing
"red coats and shining silk hats." will
precede the boys of Tammany if it can,
and follow them' if it must.
The 'governors' "colonels," or at any
rate the Democratic governors col
onelsXare to hae' a chance to ride.
The governors are coming and with
them their ; staffs.' .The word is that,
several of the. states' chief magistrates
have "ordered, their subordinates to ap
pear in' "brand new pnifdrms."' ' As for
jhe. governors. they , will ride frock

Cabinet of .Progressives.
The. country, probably will not
have to wait miAbh longer to learn
the names of the men chosen for
service in the cabinet of ' Wood
row .Wilson. The politicians and the
correspondents have made many cab
inets for Mr. Wilson.- and- it- is en
tirely probable ths t some of them have
made good guessei, but from the word
which comes' from Trenton it Is cer
tain that if the right cabinet has beea
named by anybody it has been sheer
guess work, for the president-elect has
kept his own counsel in the matter
and. moreover, has said some things in
a degree denunciatory of those who
would try to do his naming work for
him. . -
Members of congress who have been
to Trenton in - &a endeavor to .find
out definitely what the Democratic
chieftain intends to do in the way of
cabinet making '' apparently learned
only one thing, nnd of course it Is pos
sible that they did not learn this one
thing accurately. - The chances are.
however, that they did. and Interviews
with the returned ones show. that they
all are convinced of this: "Every
man in the cabinet will be a progres
sive DemocraL -
: Members, of the coming dominant
party who have thought it worth while
for advice-receiving purposes to go to
New Jersey have come back seemingly-convinced
tha no conservative Dem
ocrat will sit at the next president's
table of council. This bit of news may
not be to the liking of. a good many
Democrats of the United States, but it
must be set down" here in the way of
news as being the apparent belief of
both . conservative and progressive
Democrats who have talked to Mr.
Wilson about the construction' of his
cabinet. No names are given,-but
men-who will talk about It say that'all
the names of the' ultra-conservatives
of, the party may be discarded when
tables are being made of the possible
cabinet selections.
Conservatives Rsent This. c
There is something of a show of re
sentment among the conservative
Democrats in WTaehington because of
the course which they seem to think
Mr. Wilson is to follow. The conser
vatives point even to Roosevelt, whom
they do not like at all. as aa example
of what a progressive can do to bal
ance things.' They are urging that Mr.
Roosevelt, Progressive, invited ' some
.conservatives into his cabinet' in or
der that he might get the beneflt ot
both sides of every discussion.
There is no .weeping- evident ro
Washington in he ranks of the pro
gressive. J3emocrats or ia those of the
conservative and progress! ve Repub
licans because of the apparent deter
mination of Mr, 'Wilson to surround
himself with men who will urge that
the administration make things move.
The reason fur the dearth of tears
among the progressive Democrats is
apparent. The progressive Republic
ans like .to see things moving -even
though motive power is supplied by a
Democratic engine. The conservative
Republicans are glad that the president-elect
is- going to "get a move on"
because they think the machinery
will go to smash before the year's
journey is up. So it is that everybody
apparently is happy except the conser
vative Democrats.
Now in trying to name a cabinet for
Mr. Wilson in the face of his silence
on the subject a start can.be made
by eliminating the conservative chief
tains of the Democratic party, that Is,
those. of them who are charged . by
their opponents, with attempts in the
past to block downward tariff revision
and to check legislation of the kind
attempted by Jheir progressive col
leagues. , .
Field Rather Limited.
Y - - - -
There are eighteen or twenty of the
progressive" Democratic chieftains
who, as members of congress view it,
are of the cabinet type. It would he
curious, therefore, if among a little
more than a score of names that have
been mentioned as of wen certain to
sit in the cabinet room the. right
names should not have been hit upon.
There will be a great chance for the "I
told you so'8" on the day that Mr-Wilson
names his advisers.
It must not be understood because
Mr. .Wilson apparently - intends to
name ; none but. p'rogresai vesCfor cabi
net office that all of them: wii be men
of the ultra-progressive type.;lt seems
to be generally, conceded that Obadialj
Gardner of Maine will be made secre
tary of agriculture. He is a progres
sive without being, in any sense a radi
cal and R is probable that two or
three men of this type may be given
precedence, but none of them probably
will be markedly conservative ehough
to gjvev the conservative leaders . like
Martin of Virginia : and . f Simmons f
North Carolina an opportunity to say
'"happily he has recognized us." ,
- There is no reason, today to change
the word of two months "ago ihat the
influences, which it seems will be para
mount with Mr. Wilson in. the matter
of cabinet selection are Jtnoae of the
schofcl 6r Bryan, of Nebraska and Gore
