COMMENTS HEARD ON INAUGBSATION There was a noticeable difference m this and previous inaugurations was toe opinion expressed by many old- timers who went to Washingtim. to see Franklin Delano Roosevelt iaug-^ wn for toose Who witeessed the to'evious Roosevelt inaugurations, there was.-a great difference in toe one Monday. ’ On both the previous occasions, the Prteideto .toade militant speeches, in •boto he-dealf almost exclusively with teasing domestic problente. lime, his speech was almost prayer- fiil “and was devoted exclusively to a plea lor national imity against floes from without " Ambastodor Daniels, v^o has sefn nearly all of the inaugurations stoeb iteil >1 Garfield, said Mini fy afternoon: . s “It was the most brilliant inaugu ration I have ever seen; and toe people aie jaore contented, and sat isfied to^-have toe light leadership- The speech dealt with fundamentals. It was sound ahd great.” Governor Broughton struck a simi- ar note. “I have seen several inau- gurfitions,” he said, “anti this was much the most impressive of any of toem. Through it all there was a sombre background, reflected in toe parade, which was streamlined, effi cient and swift. The addness showed that the President has not aban doned his fundamental philosophy of democracy. He believes that the American people not only want, to preserve democracy, but will do so.” Ordinarily, all thoughts today would have beeh of the first third term in histoiy. As it was, people were not thinking of the past, even such recent past as the election two months ago. The one thought in every, mind was of the future, and what it holds in store for this country. * laeford Theatre Installs Purifier Cofltiitotcb Pods Hoke Representatives Named'To Important and Powarful Cbm- initfees o£ Legislate.
