yes nrst rate" replied Coolidge
and he looked seaSchingly at the
questioner. apparently waiting Tor the
next question as to whether his NOM
nation would affect his simple man
ner OF living. The question came IN
natural sequence and the answer was
that he had become somewhat IN
nured to holding public offce.

heard from them?" asked an inter-
viewer.
"oh. yes! They're home. l talked
side OF a double house on Massasolt
with them this morning on the teie-
phone" ,., 49,,
tIty appear
their father had received such an un-
usual honor"
mo, | don't think So" drawled the
governor Those boys are like any
other boys. They take II as a mat
ter of course that l should be holdlng

over II than your boys. III you nave
any, would be over any particular as
signment you newspaper men might
receive"
Does Mrs. Coolidge feel elatedg
"EIated? / don't think so. but she'll
answer for herself in a moment.
Presently Mrs. Coolidge appeared
II generally allow Mr.. Coolidge 10
do the talking for the family" she
said.
II sort of accept these nominations
and elections and things as a matter
of fact. He was in public life when
we were married. and so / have be-
come used to 1t.
WOMEN MUST DO THEIR PART.
But, seriously since Woman Suf-
frage Is coming. ! might explain that
haven't been active on either side,
but / believe that women should edu-
cate themselves for 1t and do their
part"
How about house hunting in
Washington, Mrs. Coolidge?"
Just now" she laughed. 81 am
more interested in rents in North
ampton."
And we haven't moved to Wash
ington yet" interjected the careful,
diplomatic governor.
Presently the talk turned to plans
for the immediate future. Governor
Coolidge was asked IL he was pre-
pared to participate in a countrywide
speaking campaign
II haven't made any campaign
plans. Those details rest with the
Republican national committee and
will try to abide by the wishes OF
that body However, ! don't recall
that Vice President Marshall came to
Massachusetts during the Democratic
campaign"
Governor" suggested a reporter
las Vice President of the United
States you probably will have more
leisure time than you have as gov
ernor Of Massachusetts and therefore
will have more time for recreation.
What are your favorite means of
recreation?
my chief recreation is exercising
Mr.. Horrigan," and he turned to his
bodyguard.
WALKS 3 MILES IN IS MINUTES.
"Yes. and he steps out pretty live
ly," explained the Cambridge stall
wart. He carries me along the meas
ured mile on Beacon street, from near
Charles street to Hereford street,
in exactly fifteen minutes. and today
we walked from the hotel across the
Common and Public Garden and out
Commonwealth avenue to Massachu-
setts avenue and back in just forty
five minutes That is just about
three miles"
Gov. Coolidge said that he had ex-
pected to go tomorrow to Amherst
College, from which he was gradu-
ated twenty-five years ago yester-
day, but he was forced to change his
plans, since the Massachusetts dele
cation to the Republican Convention
wired him that they would be home
Monday and would call at the State
House at 8 o'clock tomorrow after
noon to notify him officially of his
nomination for the Vice Presidency.
II am going to Springfield just as
soon Is the delegation leaves, for my
class dinner, which will be held at
the Old Colony Club tomorrow eve
ming" he said.
The governor will attend the Am
herst commencement exercises on
Tuesday and on Wednesday he will
present diplomas to the graduating
