Wilson Inducted Before Vast Capitol Crowd
Woodrow Wilson was sworn in as president at the east portico of the Capitol with Edward Douglass White administering the oath. Thomas R. Marshall took the vice presidential oath in the Senate chamber as Taft and Wilson rode from the White House to the Capitol. The ceremony featured a large dignitary procession, military display, and an inaugural address marking a Democratic administration after sixteen years.
