Woodrow Wilson: Inaugural Address
On March 4, 1913, newly inaugurated President Woodrow Wilson delivered this speech, his first of two inaugural addresses.
 
“There has been a change of government. It began two years ago, when the House of Representatives became Democratic by a decisive majority. It has now been completed. The Senate about to assemble will also be Democratic. The offices of President and Vice-President have been put into the hands of Democrats. What does the change mean? That is the question that is uppermost in our minds to-day. That is the question I am going to try to answer, in order, if I may, to interpret the occasion.”
