I'm Cal, all right, but I'm not silent by a long- hot. President Calvin Coolidge. By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN V AIA1N COULaUE,- thirtieth presi dent of the United States, entered the White House to face grave and diverse problems; both national and international. There are factions In the president's political party; "lead ership hns been unhorsed and ambi tious malcontents are struggling for the stirrup." The. Sixty-eighth con gress, which meets In December, will confaln many new and untried men of radical views. What wonder then that all the world Is interest ed In knowing all about the man elevated by the working of fate Into the most Important position on earth as the presidency of the United States unquestionably Is. Calvin Coolidge emerges from the comparative obscurity of the vice presidency 'Into a fiercer limelight than ever beat npon any throne. His character and. his personal and public-record are-under the X-ray. Thousands of keen and analytical minds are weighing his every recorded word in the hope of guessing his pos sible and probable action In public Issues at home and abroad. " ' ' "" This article Is intended to be Informative and nothing else. There is no purpose-to try to guess , the political policies of Calvin Coolidge. The writer holds no. brief for or against Calvin Cool-' ldge either as a man or as a possible candidate for the presidency In 1024 or for or against the " President's political party, It Is prepared solely with the view jOf throwing light upon the personal ity of Calvin Coolidge., ;i t; . , As- to the photographs: No. 1 Is Calvin Cool ldge's latest "close-up."

A. cum laude and won an essay competition open to stu- dents of all colleges. , No. 6 shows jthe President and Mrs. Coolidge at evening looking at the hollyhocks in the farm gar den of old-fashioned flowers. ' , One thing that makes the American people1 eager for every revelation concerning the life and career ; and personality of Calvin Coolidge Is the fact that , ue is a new type oi man in ine vvnite House to '-the present generation of Americans a New England er of native stock. It Is sixty-six years since New ' England has had a man In the White House and ; almost one nunarea years since a citizen of Massa chusetts nas neia tne omce or president Frank- ' lln Pierce of New Hampshire was president, 1853 1857. John Qulncy Adams, son of John Adams, Calvin Coolidge is by lineage, birth and upbrlng- ' fag a New Englander of Nw Englanders a simon pure Vermont Xankee. And he's proud of it He said ia 1920 to a large gathering of Us neighbors: waters of which hurry to the sea; In the lakes, shining like sliver in their green setting; in the fields, tilled not by machinery, but by the , brain and hand of man. My folks are happy and coo tented They belong to themselves, live within their income, and fear no man. New England, of course, believes implicitly In the New England type. It also halls the President as a fine sample of the type. The Boston Post a Democratic newspaper, speaks for New England when It says: . .' . i . Calvin cioUdge cannot fall. He embodies not alone all the hopes of New England, but her very life blood. , He Is the Inheritor of all the splendor and all the magnificence of service that New Eng. land has given to America. So New England elects to stand or fall with Calvin Coolidge as a cautious, discreet, thrifty, tight-mouthed, God-fearing, efficient Down-East Yankee. The Coolidges certainly go back to the beginning " of things in New England. The first American Coolidge same over about 1630 in the first flight of the Puritans and settled in Watertown, Mass. In 1780. John Coolidge, the President's great-great-grandfatber, after service In the Revolution, moved to Plymouth, Vt. He hired out occassion al to his neighbors and be left a farm to each of his five children t Each succeeding generation of these Plymouth Yankee farmers seems to have run true to type. Calvin Coolldge's grandfather was justice of the peace, constable, selectman and town agent and " attended all the political state and county conven tions. John Calvin Coolidge, the President's fa ther, hale and hearty at seventy-eight the Presl- : dent says he has been the most formative Influ ence In his life owns the farm where his great grandfather settled. He was tax collector and constable for thirty-eight years. He was justice of the peace. He served five sessions in the legis lature, two in the senate. He kept store, ran the shop when the blacksmith left town, could pull a tooth, was road commissioner, settled estates, taught In the Sunday school and usually looks after the seating of the people at funerals. The S President's great-grandfather was without school ing; his grandfather went to the district school; his father went to the academy at Ludlow; the President himself Is a lawyer and a college grad uate. -.' " '.'', "Coolidge luck" has become pVoverblal. He started out by being born on the Fourth of July. He hns been in public "office almost continuously since 1809. He has never met defeat at the polls. Ho won a wife who Is a genuine helpmeet. He has two fine sons. A police strike In 1910 made him famous over night. There are ambitious poll , tlclans who would give millions for the popular appeal of the setting In which he took the oath of ofllce the parlor.pf the old homestead; the old- fashioned kerosene lamp ; the gathered neighbors outside in the darkness ; the father, a notary pub lic, reading the constitutional oath to the son; the son, with raised hand, repeating 'the oath and add ing "So help me God I" - '-; ' Several things evidently must be taken Into con sideration In connection with the "Coolidge luck" . and the 'President's political career to date. Poll ( tics with Calvin Coolidge has been-a profession. Here is his creed, stated publicly: Politics Is not an end, but a means. It is not a - product but a process. It is the art of govern ment. Like other values It has Its counterfeits . . , It is the process of action la publio affairs. ' . Calvin Coolidge knows politics more thoroughly than the average man knows the multiplication . table; he has learned the game from the bottom up. : He has been ably tutored. His opponents say that when the occasion demands "expert chauffeuring of the steam roller" Coolidge Is a v- - good man at the wheel, He has had powerful and devoted friends back of him. And the record seems to show pretty conclusively that Coolidge nas made good m every position he has held. In reading his speeches and writings one finds often the words "duty" and "service" they bulk large in his political creed. In politics Calvin Coolidge has always been a party man "regular". He believes In the party system. He said, when governor of Massachusetts We have a government ef partes. We must recognize party. A man ought to be loyal to those wuu uave oeen loyal to mm. President Coolidge, it is everywhere agreed, is taciturn and reticent. His friends say he was bon tight-mouthed; those who have opposed him add that he has also cultivated It as a political asset Here Is a sample of Coolidge brevity : When he made his inaugural address as president of the state senate the second time he said just this and . no more: Honorable senators Mv slncerest thanks I of fer you. Conserve the Arm foundations of our in stitutions, do your work with the spirit of i soldier In the public service. Be loyal to the com monwealth and to yourselves. And be brief. adovs ail tnings oe Drier. Yet Coolidge can talk when he feels like It and the occasion warrants Speech.' Intimates say he can pound the desk and say "D n." They also say that when he does read the riot act his lan guage Is blistering. He has made many notable public speeches. Certainly he fooled the newspaper correspond ents at Washington. Coolidge, as vice president, was singularly unobtrusive. Edward G. Lowry In his book, "Washington Close-Ups," described him as "a politician who does not who will not, who seemingly cannot talk." And this came to be the view generally accepted by the newspaper corre spondents at the capital.. Practically the first official, act of the President upon his arrival In Washington was, to receive the newspaper men 132 men and 5 women. He subtly gave the Impression that he was anxious to estab lish personal relations with them. He also showed unmistakably that he was master of the situation. He opened the Interview with a short speech. Study of the President's words shows both speech and answers to be concise, clear and admirable. The result was that this body -of exacting, generally cynical and frequently unappreciative newspaper people repaid him with a hearty round of applause. Coolidge, contrary to report Is not at all lacking In a sense of humor; his own brand Is very dry. He is, of course, thrifty. . Analysis of Coolldge's record shows that he has often been able to make men of divergent interests work together and has retained this good will of both sides. Competent observers among the Wash ington correspondents say that most of his many and various callers since he became President have gone away In a friendly spirit, though the man in the White House bad said little and promised noth ing. "Everybody's Friend" they call him, hdlf In compliment, half In Jest. s . Coolidge has a few intimates who Insist that he is much warmer Inside than his exterior indicates and give various facts In evidence. But even thest intimates, though they may call hta "Cal", don't slap him on the back when they fay it Calvin Coolidge has Imagination and Ideals and a militant spirit of service ; read his "Have Faith in Massachusetts" if you doubt His Puritan (not Pilgrim) forefathers "fell first npon their knees and then upon the aborigines." Spirituality and practicality both bulk large In the character of the men who settled New England and lit that strange blend which has produced the Down -East Yankee who Is thirtieth President of the United States ol America.
