Yet he w the first to predict that some day Calvin Coolidge Would sit in the White House, and tomorrow will be the day of days for the Boston man, because he will see not only a prediction but a dream come true when Mr. Coolidge becomes President by vote of the American people. Calvin Coolidge, as president of the ssachusetts Senate in 1915, first came under the notice of Mr. Stearns. He represented the Northampton dis- trict, and Amherst College, of which | Stearns then was and still is a is near Northampton. The college was constructing a sewerage system, and the trustees wanted a connection with the city system of Northampton. An act of the Legis- lature was necessary, and Mr. Stearns sent a representative to see Senator Coolidge. It was just three weeks be- fore the close of the session, and the legislative calendar was jammed. Msde No Promise. The representative of the trustees made his plea for the legislation, hop- ing for favorable response despite the early ending of the session. Mr. Coolidge said little and promised nothing. The representative was bit- ly disappointed; and when the re- of the interview was made to earns he was, as he himself ad- ‘plain mad.” When the legislature convened again the next winter, however, Sen- ator Coolidge without a word took up l.the legislation and put it through. The quiet and efficient way in which the bill was handled attracted the at- tention of Mr. Stearns, and from that beginning developed a warm friend- ship that has had much to do with bringing Mr. Coolidge to the point he will reach tomorrow it was at Frank Stearns’ urging that Mr. Coolidge become a candidate for lieutenant governor.

Although Mr. Coolidge's’ best friend, Mr. Stearns, now practically tired and worth several dollars, makes no effort to President He sc is dealing. ely | ever attends any of the conferences that take place at the White House. He knows all the cabinet members, but seldom talks business with them. He is acquainted with Republican leaders in the Senate and House, but when he goes to the Capitol he will be found sitting in the gallery, and generally when the President acts on a matter it will be found that he and not before the action was taken. Nevers Makes Speech. Mr. Stearns likes to be near the President, but he does not like to project himself into the limelight of publicity that constantly plays on the White House. He says he never made a speech in his life, and never intends to; and when the Unlon League Club of New York recently listed him for an address he took a train for the metropolis at once to squelch the proposal. “I'll_tell them I'm sick,” he said. “and Tl be sick, too, if they call on me for a speech.” According to Washington society editors, who are sticklers for form, Mr. Stearns resides In Boston, but to the newspaper correspondents that are assigned to the White House it would seem that he lives at the White House and frequently makes trips to Boston. He may be seen about the executive offices most any day, wear- ing his hat, as though he had just arrived or was on the point of de- parting, but he seldom does either.
