INAUGURATED MONDAY
Washington, March 5th—President Wilson and Vice President Marshall were inaugurated for their second term today with great patriotic demonstration of Americanism.
The solemn dignity of the ceremonies of inaugurating the vice president in the senate chamber and the simple but impressive ceremony in the open air on the Plaza before the Capitol when the president delivered his inaugural address, were accentuated by the note of patriotic fervor which predominated through all the proceedings of the day.
First democratic president to succeed himself since Jackson and tenth to be elected, President Wilson entered his second term of office with a new consecration to the service of his country.
It was the president’s wish that his inauguration should be a simple one and all through the fixed program which covered more than five hours, there was the pomp and ceremony and spectacular display which naturally attaches to the inauguration of a president. The studied effort to keep the ceremonies in accord with the best traditions of America—ceremonies which in the main were initiated by George Washington more than a century ago.
The event was simplified because there was no dual ceremony to attend the departure of an outgoing president and further simplified because it did not fall in with the rush and confusion of the dying hours of congress.
