First inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt : ウィキペディア英語版 | First inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt
The first inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt as the 26th President of the United States, took place on September 14, 1901 upon the assassination of President William McKinley, in Buffalo, New York. John R. Hazel, U.S. District Judge for the Western District of New York, administered the Oath of office. While often referred to as an inauguration, this is more properly referred to as a swearing in ceremony, following the assassination of President McKinley.〔http://inaugural.senate.gov/history/chronology/troosevelt1901.cfm〕 ==Assassination of President McKinley== At the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, on September 6, 1901, President McKinley was shot by Leon Czolgosz. Vice President Roosevelt had been at a luncheon of the Vermont Fish and Game League on Lake Champlain when he learned the news. He rushed to Buffalo, but after being assured the President would recover, he went on a planned family camping and hiking trip to Mount Marcy in the Adirondacks. In the mountains, a runner notified him McKinley was on his death bed. Roosevelt pondered with his wife, Edith, how best to respond, not wanting to show up in Buffalo and wait on McKinley's death. Roosevelt was rushed by a series of stagecoaches to North Creek train station. At the station, Roosevelt was handed a telegram that said President McKinley died at 2:30 AM that morning. The new President continued by train from North Creek to Buffalo. He arrived in Buffalo later that day, accepting an invitation to stay at the home of Ansley Wilcox, a prominent lawyer and friend since the early 1880s when they had both worked closely with New York Governor Grover Cleveland on civil service reform.
