COOLIDGE VICE PRESIDENCY ADDS TO FAME OF BAY STATE, First Massachusetts Man 1n Half Century to Hold the Office—State Promi- inent In Calvin Coolidge is the first Massa- chuselts man to hold the office of Vice President since Henry Wilson served fn the Second Grant admin- istratlon, nearly half a century ago. His advent into office adds to the prominence of his state In natlonal government affairs, for it Is regarded es almost certain that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge will be again chosen as republican leader in the Senate and | Representative Frederick 1L Gillett as Speaker of the House Should Mr. Gillett succeed himself, a Massachusetts man will preside over each branch of Congress, i most unusual coincidence. More unusual still is the fact that both Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Gillett come from the same congressional district, Northampton, the home of the Vice President Leing in the same district as Springfield, the home of the Speaker. Both men are graduates of Amherst College. Vice President Coolidge is entering | upon his first service in the ficld of national politics, but for twenty years he has been active in the po- litical service of his state. Tising | from membership in the council of} his city to governor of the common- | wealth. Known as “Silent C In some respects Mr. Coolidge is al figure strange in American public life, being taciturn to a degree and apparently shunning the spotlight and the glamour which usually sur- | rounds high public officials. To his most_intimate friends he is known as “Silent Cal.” personal and political ecutive offices at Boston, without re- ceiving more than monosyllables for answers, finally quit the office in dis- gust, exclaiming as he came out: “By 'George, I'd_like to be that fel- low's stenographer!™ Rut, after all, holding public office comes naturally enough to the new Vice President. For generations, ever since his forbears settled in Water- town, Mass. in 1630, and later went to the rough. backwoods section of Vermont, where he was born on Tn- dependence day, 1872, his family has been identified with public_affairs. His father served in the Vermont state legislature and on governors staffs, and for years has been known as a sort of unofficial magistrate and counselor in his section. It was the crowning event of the fathers life to witness today the inauguration of his_son. “ By intellectual preference, Vice President Coolidge has since early vouth demonstrated a taste for prob- lems of statecraft. Mr. Coolidge's career at Amherst was marked by a quiet, .~4us(n|npd carnestness in his work. Walter R.| “He had Stone, writing of him, sai more than the respect of his fellows; he had the power to attract their youthful regard, and he holds today the sincere affection of his classmates, not because of the honors he has ac- quired, but because of the character they learned to admire in the davs| when he scampered with the rest up | the steps and into the chapel to beat out the last quick strokes of the old bell. Native of Vermont. “Calvin Coolidge was born in Ply- mouth, Vt., July 4. 1872—a significant birth date for an exponent of recal Americanism, His father, Col. John Coolidge, enjoys a rare reputation for trustworthiness in the gection of Ver- mont where he liv It has been said by a prominent in Vermont that beyond any man of his acquaint- ance he admired Calvin Coolidge's grandfather for his sterling qualitiss and his uncanny horse sense. “Calvin attended school at Ply- mouth, and later was a student at Black Rock River Academy, Ludlow, Vt. He entered Amherst at nineteen and received the degree of B. A. with high honors in 1895. Coolidge waa grove orator at commencement, and in his senior vear he won the first prize—a gold medal—qffered by the Bons of the American Revolution, for the best essay on the ‘Principles of the War for American Independence.’ This was won in competition with the undergraduates of all American col- leges. Takes Up Study of Law. “Determined on following that pro- fession, he read law in the offices of Hammond & Field at Northampton, and after twenty months' study was admitted to the bar. le thereupon opened an office in Northampton, where he soon established his repu- tation as a lawyer, achieved his first success in the fleld of politics, and gained his rating as a good citizen and a zealous, broad-minded pro- moter of the community's welfare. “He was appointed to fill a vacancy caused by the death of the Hamp- shire county clerk, but refused his party’s nomination for election to succeed himself. His natural bent for doing the day's work, combined with his ability’ and integrity, so prought him into the esteem of his fellow-townsmen that he was elected to the ecity council of Northampton and soon after was chosen city solic- itor and served with honor in that posftion for two years. In 1307 and 1908 he represented his city in the lower branch of the general court, but was called from this service to returned to his home city as its magor, which office he held for two years. He was then chosen senator and served with distinction for four ears, during the Jast two of which e was president of the senate. Im- mediately following his term as sen- ator the great commonyealth of Massachusetts called him {o be lieu- tenant governor for three years, and his record in that office was brilliant. He became naturally the candidate of his party for the governorship and was elected and served with dignit during the trying days of the 2 1t was his intensive study of affa of state that first attracted to him the attention of prominent republican Jeaders, notably the late Senator W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts. For a number of years these watched the development of his career with a view to directing him into the na- tional political arena. Their oppor- tunity came when the spectacular Boston police strike, during his first term as governor, attracted nation- wide attention. Exhibits Power and Courage. The crisis, which was précipitated by the strike, according to these triends, merely revealed the powers and courage of the man, and they frankly and openly seized the oppor- tunity to press for him claims for the republican presidential nomination at Chicago last June. They pointed out that as councilor in his home city and later as solicitor and mayor, as a member of *both branches of the legislature, including a term as presi- dent of the senate and then as lieu- tenant governor, and finally as gov- ernor, he had been elected with ever- increasing majorities culminating in the vote of confidence after the po- lice strike, when he was again elect- ed governor by a plurality of 126,- 000. Probably the most attractive gl.rt of Mr. Coolidge is his home life. Ever since his marriage fifteen years ago, to Miss Grace Goodhue of Burling- ton, Vt., a University of Vermont graduate, whom he met as & school- teacher in Northampton, he has lived a quiet, modest life, most of the time in the shadow of Smith College in a house which he has rented for $32.50 a month. “Save, no matter what your salary may be,” has always been his motto and, as he has enjoyed beyond the income earned in public office only meager returns from his law practico because of pressure of public duties, he has been obliged and content to live simply. There are two boys in arly ‘teens, but 21l do thelr bit, even to mowing the lawn. During Mr. lidge's official resi- N Congress. dence at Boston he and Mrs. Coolidge lived In apartments at a hotel, as they will do here in Washington, while the boys have been away at school. In dress, too, Mr. Coolldge has been not extravagant, although always immaculately attired and not given 10 use of the threadbare, whatever the popular Impression to the centrary may be. ) His coming to Washington means the presence of a man, who, his friends say. personifies the best of American !_ll\ndlrds. not given much to social life. perhaps. but & thorough student. a hard worker and a clear-headed, solid Amerlcan.

The House pald unusual tribute yesterday to Chairman Esch of the interstate commerce committee, who retires after twenty-two years of service. Republicans and demecrats alike stood and cheered the hope ex- pressed by Representative Mann, re- publican, Illinois, that Mr. Esch be continued In another sphere of gov- ernment service.
