Excerpt from Inaugural Souvenir, 1905 To him whom eighty million freemen have chosen for the honor of their most exalted service, to-day's tribute comes from the majority with the acclaim of triumph, from the minority with the grace of a patriotic impulse. The gathering at the Capital of the Nation is composed of more varied elements than ever met to celebrate a monarch's coronation. In the great parade which escorts our Chief Magistrate from the legislative to the executive end of the city are represented every social class and condition, every political party and faction, every religious creed, every race and color sheltered under the flag of liberty. Such a group aptly corresponds to the multitude of diverse interests centered in the personality of one whom we have known, in his quarter-century of public activity, as lawmaker and administrator, frontiers man and scholar, soldier and citizen, busy worker in many callings and helpful friend of all.
