Inaugural plans dropped by President-elect Harding
President-elect Warren G Harding directs Congress and committees to abandon all inaugural celebrations. He requests the simplest possible oath taking at the Capitol with no funds spent, urging economy and thrift and proposing Swearing in with minimal ceremony inside the Capitol. He also sends similar telegrams to Knox and McLean enjoining no parades or balls and no outlay of public funds.
