By FRANK B. LORD.
Washington is rapidly completing its
preparations for the second Inaugura
tion of Woodrow Wilson us president
of tlie United Stutes. The occasion
will present the first instance of a
Democratic president succeeding him
self in the White House since the days
of Andrew Jackson. This is one of
the reasons why exceptional efforts are
being put forth to ipuke the cerciuo
nlos befitting and impressive aud at
the sumo time characterized by gen
uine old fashioned Jeffersonian democ
racy.
President Wilson has notified the
inaugural committee that he does not
favor the customary inaugural bull,
and accordingly tfiat feature will be
eliminated. Instead on the evening
following bis induction inio office there
will be presented on the famous White
Lot, dliectiy south of the executive
mansion, a beautiful pyrotechnic dis
play designed in itself to teach a les
son in patriotism.
Inaugural Takes Place March 5.
Owing to the fact that March 1 falls
upon Sunday the ceremonial inaugu
ral of President Wilson .vill take place
on the following day. In order that
there may be no lapse of time during
which the country will be without an
executive head the official oath of office
will be administered to President Wil
son in private at the White House at
noon Sunday, March 4, by Clfief Jus
tice White of the supreme court of the
United States. Three times before in
the history -of the country March 4
has fallen on Sunday—in 1S21, at the
beginning of Monroe’s second term; in
1845, lit Taylor’s inaugural, and again
In 1877, when Hayes became presi
dent. The formal ceremonies will oc
cur on Monday.
Starting from the White House at
11 o’clock, escorted in carriages by a
congressional committee, of which
Senator Overman of North Carolina is
chairman, the president will proceed
to the capitol. For the first time in the
history of any inauguration the wife
of the president elect will accompany
him on the trip. Mrs. Thomas It. Mar
shall, wife of the vice president elect,
will also ride in the carriage with her
husband. The president will take the
oath of office and deliver his inaugural
address on the huge platform erected
on the plaza at the east front of the
capitol.
Pageant to Bo Spectacular.
At the conclusion of the president’s
address the great spectacular pageant,
which the people of Washington have
devoted nearly three months in pre
paring, will start from the capitol and
proceed westward on Pennsylvania
avenue to Fifteenth sheet and thence
through the grand Court, of Honor
erected in front of the White House.
From the presidential stand in the
center of the court Mr. Wilsou and Mr.
Marshall, together with their wives
and members of the cabinet and their
wives, the diplomatic corps aud prom
inent officials, will view the parade.
Under the direction of Colonel Rob
ert N. Harper, chairman of the citi
zens’ committee of Washington, the
people of the national capital have put
forth every effort to make the Wilson
inaugural procession not only a grand
march of triumph, but a pageant which
shall be educational and illustrative of
the progress and development of the
country. Major General Hugh L. Scott,
chief o£ staff of the army, will be
grand marshal. Thousands of Uncle
Sam’s bluejackets and marines and as
many soldiers as can be spared from
the border will be in line, as well as
tlie middy boys from Annapolis and
the cadets from West Point.

making preparations for presidential
