Roosevelt into the presidency for his second term at hich noon tomorrow. Almost a carnival atmosphere prevailed in Washington in morked contrast to four years ago when Mr. Rocsscvelt first assumed the helm of Government under the black clouds of a national crisis. This time it is different. The clouds, or most of them, have rolled away, and the theme for Mr.

Rooscvc'i's mfluguration is: "Happy Days Are Here Again." Incidentally, that rollicking tune will be played officially tomorrow, marking one of the few times that any thine save military and patriotic airs, hove been rendered upon so solemn and dignified occasion as the inauguration of a President. It promises to be the bicgest inaugural a great ener.y years from the standpoint of crowds and enthusiasm.

Where there were a dozen special trams four ago, today there, were scores, filled with Democratic governors.
