The Price of the Presidency by Richard Norton Smith reprinted in entirety, with permission from Yankee Magazine, January 1996 He was called Silent Cal, and the nation laughed at his taciturnity, his frugality, and his dry wit. But the Great Stone Face hid a sweet smile and a terrible anguish. January 5, 1933 was a crisp mid-winter Thursday in Northampton , Massachusetts. In the redbrick Masonic Block, the city's most famous resident put in a short morning at the second-floor law office marked Coolidge and Hemenway. It was part of the comfortable routine Calvin Coolidge had adopted since leaving the White House nearly four years earlier. The 30th president of the United States made no pretense of being a practicing lawyer. Coolidge and Hemenway was a place to kick off one's shoes, lean back with a freshly clipped cigar, and pour over the morning's papers and ever-present mail. The latter presented challenges of its own, reflecting the severe hardship that had fastened its grip upon the American economy like winter descending upon the Connecticut River valley. One day a package containing a diamond bracelet arrived at Masonic Block, sent by an admirer convinced that only the parsimonious Coolidge could safeguard her valuables in these uncertain times. "He treated that diamond bracelet as if it were a scorpion," recalled Coolidge's secretary, Herman Beatty. The unsolicited package was hastily returned, but only after the former president filed a post office receipt in front of several reliable witnesses.

CALVIN COOLIDGE CALVIN COOLIDGE: Classicist or Politician Calvin Coolidge is known to the public for several rather unimportant reasons. He was Vice President and then President of the United States, so he is enrolled in the presidential lists forever. He came from Vermont into the political world, in the period right after the conclusion of WW II, at a time when Vermont was little known outside its borders, a country of mountains with small populations and far more deer and bear than human residents. At that time there was no ski-industry in Vermont, the emigration of wealthy and retired persons to Vermont as an unspoiled countryside was more than a generation away, and the most remarkable thing about Vermont was that it has somehow spawned a President of the country. There are several sides to the historical record as we look back in l998 from the vantage point of the 75 th. Anniversary of Coolidge's Inauguration. Coolidge is well know as a man of few words, virtually as a charactiture, or as a VP who unexpectedly became President after Hardings's death, and did little of note or importance while in office. But few people realize that he retained a strong interest in the Greek and Latin Classics from his education at Amherst. And many people have little idea of some unsavory political happenings of his term in office which he favored, while refraining from the veto, which he used more liberally than any President before him since Jackson, on legislation aimed at restriction of the numbers of Jewish and Italian immigrants, while refusing immigration to the Japanese entirely. This is discussed below, after the Classics papers which you are about to read.

Coolidge succeeded President Warren Harding who died unexpectedly. The new president inherited an administration plagued and discredited by government corruption. Coolidge worked to restore integrity to government and maintained a stance of noninterference toward American business and industry. He went on to easily win the 1924 election and led the country for a total of six years. The Coolidge era was a time of great prosperity for the United States, and the standard of living rose for most Americans. Tax reductions and high protective tariffs favored American industry. Mass production, technological innovations, and better distribution methods made consumer items more generally available and increased individual earnings. Americans were able to consume more than ever before, and consume they did. Many Americans now owned

American Leaders Speak From War to Normalcy: Introduction World War I The Presidential Election of 1920 Speakers: Warren Harding Calvin Coolidge Corinne Roosevelt Robinson James Cox ... Franklin D. Roosevelt By 1920, World War I was over. The wartime boom had collapsed. Diplomats and politicians were arguing over peace treaties and the question of America's entry into the League of Nations. Overseas there were wars and revolutions; at home there were strikes, riots and a growing fear of radicals and terrorists. Disillusionment was in the air. The giants who had dominated the political scene for a generation were gone Theodore Roosevelt died in 1919 and Woodrow Wilson was a broken invalid living in seclusion. Even so, the presidential election of 1920 continued the debate between the nationalistic activism of Roosevelt's presidency and the global idealism of Wilson's administration. On June 8, 1920, the Republicans nominated Warren G. Harding, an Ohio newspaper editor and United States Senator, to run for president with Calvin Coolidge, governor of Massachusetts, as his running mate. The Democrats nominated another newspaper editor from Ohio, Governor James M. Cox, as their presidential candidate, and thirty-seven-year-old Franklin Delano Roosevelt for vice president. The presidential election of 1920 was the last election campaign made accessible to the public solely through the use of record albums. By election night November 2, 1920 the "election campaign by phonograph" was a thing of the past, superseded by the first commercial radio broadcast coverage of election returns.

She told the president of her wager. His reply: "You lose." Fast Fact: Laconic New Englander Calvin Coolidge strongly favored frugality in Government. Biography: At 2:30 on the morning of August 3, 1923, while visiting in Vermont, Calvin Coolidge received word that he was President. By the light of a kerosene lamp, his father, who was a notary public, administered the oath of office as Coolidge placed his hand on the family Bible. Coolidge was "distinguished for character more than for heroic achievement," wrote a Democratic admirer, Alfred E. Smith. "His great task was to restore the dignity and prestige of the Presidency when it had reached the lowest ebb in our history ... in a time of extravagance and waste...." Born in Plymouth, Vermont, on July 4, 1872, Coolidge was the son of a village

Ratio % of Pres. to % of Pop. Episcopalian Presbyterian Methodist Baptist Unitarian Disciples of Christ Dutch Reformed Quaker Catholic Congregationalist/ United Church of Christ Keep in mind that in the table above, the % of the U.S. population for religious groups are current figures. Religious groups have had much different proportions at various time in U.S. history. One of the most over-represented religious groups among U.S. presidents is Unitarianism. Despite merging with Universalism in the 1960s, the combined proportion of Unitarian Universalists in the U.S. population is just 0.2% of the population (one in every 500 Americans). Yet there have been 4 Unitarian presidents. Another over-represented religious group among U.S. presidents is Dutch Reformed, by virtue of having two U.S. presidents, yet having only a small number of people left in the country who identify themselves as Reformed. The contemporary heir to the Dutch Reformed churches is the "Reformed Church in America," which has about 300,000 members in the U.S. and Canada. (Alternatively, one might count only a single president as Dutch Reformed, if Theodore Roosevelt is counted as an Episcopalian sources differ on this subject . Even just one Dutch Reformed president would constitute statistical over-representation.) After that, Disciples of Christ, Episcopalians, and Quakers have also had representation in the White House far outstripping their proportion of the U.S. population.

Calvin Coolidge: Intervention in Nicaragua While conditions in Nicaragua and the action of this government pertaining thereto have in general been made public, I think the time has arrived for me officially to inform the Congress more in detail of the events leading up to the present disturbances and conditions which seriously threaten American lives and property, endanger the stability of all Central America, and put in jeopardy the rights granted by Nicaragua to the United States for the construction of a canal. It is well known that in 1912 the United States intervened in Nicaragua with a large force and put down a revolution, and that from that time to 1925 a legation guard of American Marines was, with the consent of the Nicaragua government, kept in Managua to protect American lives and property. In 1923 representatives of the five Central American countries, namely, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Salvador, at the invitation of the United States, met in Washington and entered into a series of treaties. These treaties dealt with limitation of armament, a Central American tribunal for arbitration, and the general subject of peace and amity. The treaty last referred to specifically provides in Article II that the governments of the contracting parties will not recognize any other government which may come into power in any of the five republics through a coup d'etat, or revolution, and disqualifies the leaders of such coup d'etat, or revolution, from assuming the presidency or vice-presidency. . . .

Introduction Take the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II Please Understand Me II FAQ ... Home Presidential Temperament Excerpted from Presidential Temperament , by David Keirsey and Ray Choiniere The year 1912 was a presidential election year, and former President Theodore Roosevelt was again campaigning for the nation's highest office. By the evening of October 14 his campaign had carried him to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was to deliver a speech in the city's public auditorium.The time was nearing for him to speak, so he strode from his hotel onto the sidewalk outside, where a car was waiting to take him to the auditorium. As Roosevelt walked toward the car a man suddenly stepped up to him and pointed a pistol at his heart. The gunman pulled the trigger and a bullet burst from the pistol and smashed its way into Roosevelt's chest. His shirt was suddenly spattered with red, and more blood immediately began seeping from the ugly hole. The bullet had come to rest against his rib cage, a mere half inch from his lungs. "He pinked me!" shouted Roosevelt, as bystanders rushed to subdue the gunman, John Shrank. They wrestled Shrank to the ground and then, seeing Roosevelt's bloody clothing, prepared to rush him to the hospital. But they found Teddy Roosevelt a more difficult man to deal with than the would-be assassin. "TR" adamantly refused to go for help. "You just stay where you are!" he thundered. "I am going to make this speech and you might as well compose yourself."
