CALVIN, COOLIDGE Asa State Legislator on Beacon Hill, He Met Frank Stearns, Now His Adviser Wins Election to Lieutenant Governorship, THE BIOGRAPHY OF A PRESIDENT

Calvin Coolidgre was bom July 4. 1872. His mother died when he was but 12 and a stepmother took her place. Tft*. boy Calvin took many honors in school, but rarely mixed with other pupils and even then became known as a silent lad. Coolidse attended Amherst College. At college he was a good student taking little or no part in athletics. In 1905 he married Grace Goodhue, a school teacher in Northampton, .where Coolidge had settled to study law. After the honeymoon he commenced to go in for politics and received the nomination for the State Legiaiature. He won by sixly-three votes. CHAPTER 111 ALVIN COOLIDGE'S first year as member of the Massachusetts Legislature was a drab one indeed.\ He was the least conspicuous member of either house. But it is to be noted young Coolidge that year a reputation he has maintained since—that of being a “regular party man.” On every fuo where a party vote was taken, his vote was to be counted safely on the Republican side. When he went to Beacon Hill, he took with him a letter of introduction to Speaker John N. Cole from his friend and neighbor, Richard W. Irwin, which read in part: "Dear John: This will introduce the new member-elect from my town, Calvin Coolidge. Like the singed cat, he is better than he

r

FRANK STEARNS. COOLIDGE’S ADVISER. looks. He wishes to talk with you about committees. Anything you evan do will be appreciated.” Apparently the speaker wasn't much impressed by the sad-faced new member for he said rather patinetly he would see what he could do. Gets Committee Job Coolidge finally was given an important place on the Committee on Merchantile. Affairs, and on that on Constitutional Amendments. His second year on Beacon Hill was more promising. He obtained a post on the important Judiciary Committee. That was in 1908. Coolidge, as a member of the committee, voted “yes” on the famous "peaceful ; picketing bill.” It was In those days that he made the acquaintance which later ripened into warm friendship, of a man whose interest is largely connected with Coolidge’s rise to national prominence. That man is Frank W. Stearns, a merchant of Boston. Stearns relations with Coolidge may not well be compared with the relations of Colonel House and Woodrow Wilson. Colonel House was in a large sense, a diplomatic adviser. Stearns is nothing but a close friend. There are numerous stories telling of the meeting of the two, but the following one is believed to be authentic. Steams is an old Amherst man. He is an idealist, and he never tires of working for the interest of things and people he loves. Thus it was that he came to the Legislature to "lobby” a bill which would have permitted Amherst to enlarge Its sewerage facilities. Hearing of the bill came up before Coolidge, who failed to Indorse the bill. But the surprise of Steams’ life came when a year later, without any solicitation, Coolidge, who had in the meantime become President of the Massachusetts Senate, had the bill passed with amendments that improved it. Meets Lucey Anbther unusual friendship was formed by the president with a shoemaker of Northampton named James Lucey. Coolidge was wont In the old days to tell his troubles to Lucey and Lucey Is credited with giving him advice as to how to propose to his wife. Lucey is the man to whom Coolidge wrote after becoming President, “were It not for you I would not be here." • The years from 1899, when he was chosen to his first public office, that of councilman, to 1908, may well be called the formative years of Calvin Coolidge’s life. In 1899 he was councilman. In 1900 and 1901 he was city solicitor. In 1903 he was clerk of courts. In 1904 he was chairman of the city committee. In 1907-08 he was State Representative. The following year, 1909, he does not figure in public life. It is supposed he devoted that year to private law practice to replenish the diminishing family purse. The city called him back into service in 1910 and 1911 as its mayor. He went back to the Legislature In 1913, this time In the upper house, ''where he remained until 1915, the last two years of which he served as president of the Senate. Efforts were repeatedly made to 1 force him to declare his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor. Had he not listened to the pleas of Frank W. Stearns, he might have remained an obscure State Senator. . Runs and Wins But he did run and he won, serving as Lieutenant Governor from 1916 to 1918. It serves nearly always in Massachusetts, as In his cas > as a step-

ping stone to the governorship—and other thing3. There is a significant story to be told In review of the figures of some of his elections. He won the mayoralty by exactly 187 votes, but was reelected by 256 votes. The lieutenantgovernorship he caught by 24,191 plurality, but hig re-election came on a plurality of 101,731. He was elected Governor the first time by 17,035, and the second term swept the State (though this was after the famous Boston police strike) with a 125,101 plurality.
