MT9 nnSoTU ENTHUSIASM speech, making no noise and apparently satisfied with their safe haven. Governor Warfield's speech, was short but Impressive, and delivered in a vigorous manner. The crowd listened attentively and applauded several times. When ihe speaker turned to the Governor-elect and spoke of his conviction that Judge Crothers would keep his promises the crowd cheered mightily. The comment was that the retiring Governor's speech was tbe right thing to say and said in the right way.

Governor Warfield's speech in full is as follows GOV. WARFIELD'S SPEECH. "FcUoic-Citizens: You are here to witness the transfer of executive authority therefore, this Is not the time nor the place to speak of the past, but rather to look hopefully to the future. "The record of my administration ha a been made. Nothing that I can say today can add to or take from it.

Upon It must stand and by It be judged. Whatever I have done, right or wrong, my actions have been prompted solely by a desire to promote the public good. I have striven to fairly, faithfully, honestly discharge the great obligation assumed by me when I took the oath of office. "It is with gratification that I hail you. Judge Crothers, as my successor, not only because of your eminent fitness for the high office, but because you have been elected by the Democratic party, which has so signally honored me.

You will, I am sure, keep the promises you made to the people and administer the affairs of the Stat i wisely and well. "Before retiring to the peace and pleasures of private life, I wish to express publicly my grateful appreciation of the faithful manner In which the officials and employes appointed by me have performed their respective thus materially contributing to whatever success my administration has attained. "It now gives me pleasure to present to you the Governor-elect of Maryland, Judge Austin Zj. Crothers." STRAIGHT TO PEOPLE'S HEARTS. i Taking off his overcoat at the close the Governor's speecli.

Judge Crothers advanced to the table, and, with no preliminary, read his Inaugural address, hich is given In full In another column. Its effect upon the crowd outside was Interesting in the extreme. It was not a stump speech or a campaign address, and the Judge never once used the tricks of the orator to win applause. The speech was filled with idea with which the people were familiar, but made intensely interesting by the application of original thought and recommendation. Every sentence meant something, and from the interested faces that were up turned to the speaker's stand one could see that the people were too deeply Immersed 1 in a practical consideration of the merits of the speech and the ideas It contained to dot it with applause.

Several times once when the suffrage amendment was mentioned and again when the Governor-elect gave his Ideas of building new and good roads the people applauded vigorous- ly for a few moments. The rlear, full -voice of the Governor carried well, and every word, clearly enunciated, fell with convincing weight upon the ears of the crowd. "In the assemblage were State members of the Legislature, prominent city office holders In Baltimore and men and women prominent in the social affairs of the State. It was not a gathering of thoe who were curious, but those Interested. Mr.

Carville D. Benson, Speaker of the last. House of Representatives and a member of the present House, was an Interested listener in the front row of the crowd. When Jud2e Crothers had registered Mn final determination to fulfill his promises and Invoked the help of Almighty God, he turned, and. asking for his coat, made hi way to the back of the stand.

In a moment-lie was surrounded by a throng who wished to congratulate bim, while the crowd outside, struck with the simplicity of the man. cheered hifa loudly. Governor Crothers ha r.o studied effects of closing a speech, and his whole manner was Impressive of decision without any garments of affectation. Looking out over the army or men and women, numbering several thousand, on the lawn, he returns the salutes of the Individuals and parties with a courteous wave of his hand, and smiled in that manner which is liable to make it as famous a 3 the Bonaparte smile. Adjutant-General Biggs, who was acting as personal escort to the new Governor, had a difileult task to clear a way for the journey to the Senate Chamber, where the candidate elected by the people was to take the oath of ofiiee.

The way there was another triumphal procession for the man- on the verge of the Gubernatorial chair. The crowds had flocked Into the corridor in greater numbers than before, and Sergeant Lurz, of the Traffic Squad, had to mak cart wheels and slde-shulfie evolutions wth. his men to clear the way. As the Governor and hia successor entered the door of the Senate Chomber they were the focus of nearly a thousand pairs of eyes leveled by quite that many persons who had jammed the floor and balcony of the room. TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE.

Senator John P. Moore, of Worcester county, occupied the chair, and by his side sat Chief Justice Boyd. The other mem-berg of the Court of Appeals were seated near the presiding officer's desk on the floor, and the chamber was jammed to its utmost Forecast For Baltimore And VJclnl The official forecast for Baltimore and vicinity, is for colder weather today with snow flurries, followed by fair weather to morrow.

Ll. lUSLCL THnBSCL4.3C S. it. mmt la rendering tribute and honor to the new commander-in-chief of the State guard. About the gates of the mansion the people were densely packed, and the soldiers were compelled to exert themselves to keep an aisle open for the passage of the notables who followed the Governor-elect and his escort into the house.

At the door Judge Crothers was cordially and. warmly greeted by Governor Warfield. The stay at the Executive Mansion was a brief one. Promptly on schedule time the incoming Governor and the outgoing Governor, preceded by a military escort, led the way toward the State House, where the ceremonies were to take place. The line was really led by Mrs.

Warfleld witi. Mrs. Omar D. Crothers and the ladies of the families of Governor Warfield and Governor Crothers. As the procession passed between the line of blue-coated soldiers, and started to ascend the long flight of stone steps, the judges of the Court of Appeals, escorted by Adjutant-General Clinton L.

Itiggs and. the Governor's staff in uniform, crossed over from the Court of Appeals Building and passed ahead of the two Governors. ARM AND ARM TO THE STAND. It was exactly 5 minutes of 12 o'clock when Governor Warfield and Governor Crothers entered the north door and, arm In arm, started to walk the length of the building to the south portico. Both were dressed alike wearing high silk hats and black frock coats.

As they entered, hundreds of persons who were jammed in the corridors and lobby and only kept back by the strenuous efforts of Marshal Farnan and his sturdy policemen, burst into vigorous cheers. Governor Warfield with his head erect, looking straight before him, dignified and unsmiling, made no acknowledgment of the plaudits of the multitude. He recognized that for the first time in four years the cheers of the crowd were more for the man by his side. Tliat man the new Governor wore a smile. lie beamed and he bowed, but he did not deviate from his path and held his course true to the end of the long aisle.

As the two distinguished figures entered the State House doors, the ringing order "present arms." was given by tbe officer in charge of the troops lined up on the steps of the State House, and it was between a vista of horizontal muskets Judge Crothers entered the building, which he was not to leave until he was Governor. Once inside tbe doors Marshal Farnan sung out an order, and the right hand of each policeman went to his helmet in salute. The policemen formed a picket fence that excluded the enthusiastic crowd and they had some trouble In keeping tbe fence intact. Following Governor Warfield and Judge Crothers came two figures that attracted scarcely less attention from the crowd and were likewise applauded. These were those of Mr.

Bernard Carter and ex-Gov. John Walter Smith. Ex-Governor Smith will on Tuesday next be elected to the full term of six vears as TJniled States Senator to succeed "the late Senator Arthur P. Gorman. Mr.

Carter is the leading member of the Maryland bar. Those who saw them walking arm in arm recalled a bitter Senatorial contest four year? ago in Annapolis, in which they both figured so conspicuously, in tt-V. rioth lost. Other distinguished pairs in the pro cession were United States Senator wimam Pinkney Whyte and Attorney-General Isaac I.obe Straus, Comptroller-elect Dr. Joshua Hering and Comptroller Dr.

Gordon T. Atkinson, Gen. John P. Foe and Congressman John Gill, Gen. Murray Vandiver and Secretarv of State X.

At the south portico the open door disclosed an army of men and women massed so closeiy together on the lawn I) hear the inaugural and retiring addresses that only row after row of faces were visible.

The portico was carpeted and furnished with chairs lor the ladies of the party, while at the railing a speakers' etand was tastefully decorated with the Maryland flag. On either side of It were seats one for Governor Warfield, the other for Governor-elect Crothers. As the two mem stepped out on the porch the crowd outside cheered itself hoarse. All during the seating of the party and in the Interval before the speaking started frequent bursts of applause brought a flush of happpiness to tbe face of Judge Crothers. He took the chair to the left of the table and courteously Indicated with his hand the right one for Governor Warfield.

When Governor Warfield stood up to deliver hia address the crowd pressed closer to the stand. It was then seen that an enormous number of persons were crowded into the comparatively little space cf the lawn. So dense had the crowd become that six little boys caught in the jam about the statue of the late Chief Justice Tawney, which is in the center of th lawn, took refuge from danger of being mashed by climbing on the base. The crowd pressed so closely that they were slowly forced higher and higher on the monument, until several of the boys reached the knees of the sitting statue and stood there with arms thrown about the bronze neck of the figure. There they clung during the 'TWAS PEOPLE'S DAY Simple Ceremonies And Frank Addresses Impress Throng.

From a Staff Correspondent. Annapolis, Jan. 8. In the presence of a throng of men and women from every section of the State, Including many of its most distinguished and best-known residents, massed in the Senate chamber and Jamming the corrhlors of the State House, Judge Austin Lane Crothers at 12.35 T. M.

today subscribed to the constitutional oath read to him by Chief Judge A. Hunter Boyd, of the Court of Appeals, becoming Governor of Maryland- At the panx. moment Hon. Edwin War-field, who for four years had been the Chief Executive of the State, relinquished the reins of government and passed into private citizenship. It was in a clear, firm voice that Governor Crothers made the solemn vow required of him.

His ringing Inaugural address, delivered prior to taking the oath before a concourse of people gathered in front of the State House, was filled with a vigor that drove his words home and convinced those who listened of the absolute sincerity of his purpose and the earnestness of his desire. The simple ceremonies impressed the people and the great building rang with the applause of thousands as the one administration went out and the other came in. From every nook and corner of Maryland Democrats centered In Annapolis to witness the material realization of the fruits of the victory won at the polls in November. TO BE PEOPLE'S GOVERNOR. It Is safe to say that no administration ever had a more auspicious beginning.

Clear, cold and bracing, the weather brought to the city a record-breaking crowd even for an inauguration and there have been few occasions In the history of Maryland when a greater number of its most eminent men gathered together. Every 6tratum of society was represented, and the multitude, notwithstanding the heavy sprinkling of distinguished men and well-known women, created the Impression that it was the people's day, just as the straightforward words of the new Governor made It plain that he intends to be the people's Governor. From start to finish there was never a hitch In the arrangements, and a more successful inauguration has never been witnessed in Annapolis. From the moment Governor-elect Crothers set his foot in Annapolis at l.Su o'clock, when the special Gubernatorial train arrived, until 6 o'clock In the afternoon, when the last visitor left for home, no discordant note was struck. Things moved with a smoothness and accuracy which the friends of the new Chief Executive believe will be characteristic of the business methods of his administration.

It was early In the morning when the Inauguration crowds began to flow into Annapolis by regular and by special trains over both railroads. Long before the arrival of the Gubernatorial train bearing the Governor-elect, the members of his family and personal friends, to say nothing of from 300 to 400 men of prominence in the Democratic party, with their wives and friends, the State House was filled with life. The decorations, inside and out, were finished long before and the big building never presented a more beautiful appearance. With the shield of the State above the entrance on both the north and eouth sides, surrounded and draped with the Stars and Stripes, and the State flag fiying above it all, the exterior was in gala attiro. The handsome chambers of the House of Delegates and the Senate were festooned with smilax and Christmas greens and the air was fragrant with the scent of hundreds of American Beauty roses scattered about the rooms.

Towering palms and potted plants of various kinds added to the tropical effect and the hole' scene was a delight to the eye. ARRIVAL OF THE TRALV.
