Inaugural ceremonies and festivitiesDue to a blizzard the night before that covered Washington, D.C., with 10 inches of snow, the inauguration was moved indoors, into the Senate chamber. The presidential oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Melville Fuller, who was doing so for his sixth and final time. The Chief Justice flubbed his lines.Rosen, Jeffrey (2018) William Howard Taft Times Books, Henry Holt & Co.: New York, p. 51 The new President took his oath on a century-old Bible belonging to the Supreme Court, which he used again in 1921 to take his oath as the Chief Justice of the United States. Despite the adverse weather conditions, the inaugural parade was not cancelled. 6,000 city workers used 500 wagons to remove 58,000 tons of snow to clean the parade route.WEB,weblink The 31st Presidential Inauguration: William H. Taft, March 04, 1909, United States Senate, April 9, 2020, For the first time in inauguration history, the incoming First Lady (in this case Helen Herron Taft) joined her husband in leading the parade from the Capitol to the White House. Probably during the parade, the choral march "Our Country" by Arthur Whiting was played."Whiting, Arthur". Clippings file. Music Division. New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.An inaugural ball that evening was held at the Pension Building. It was the last official inaugural ball until 1949, as Taft's successor as president, Woodrow Wilson, asked the city of Washington not to hold it, thereby putting a temporary end to the practice. The tradition of inaugural balls was revived in 1949 as part of the second inauguration of Harry S. Truman.Inaugural Ball {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160225184825weblink |date=2016-02-25 }}, The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural CeremoniesGalleryFile:Taft and Roosevelt driving to Capitol, March 4, 1909.tif|Presidents Taft and Roosevelt driving to CapitolFile:Inaugural parade for Taft.jpg|Inaugural parade for Taft at Pennsylvania AvenueFile:William Howard Taft Presidential Inaugural Medal SAAM-2010.64.2 1.jpg|William Howard Taft Presidential Inaugural MedalSee alsoReferences{{reflist}}External links{{wikisource-inline|William Howard Taft's Inaugural Address|single=true}}{{William Howard Taft}}{{US inaugurations}} |
