The Vice-Prcsidcncy

GOVERNOR COoLIDGE's refusal to allow
~ his name to be proposed for the vice
presidency by the Republican State Conven-
ton on the general ground that the office
has no attractions for him and, in effect, is
nothing more or less than political grave,
reveals again somewhat curious attitude
on the part OF public men toward the second
highest elective Office in the republic
1t is true that most Vice-Presidents have
led more OR less inactive life while in Of
flee, and that active and ambitious men have
not felt that 1t offered sufficient opportunity
LOT service But, also it is true that the
country should fortfy its government by the
election Of the ablest men to this office that
can be found Too little attention has been
paid in the past to the Importance OF the vice
presidency. Too few party conventions have
realized that the man whom they might
nominate and afterward elect might at any
time step into the presidency itself
five times since the government was
founded, Vice-Presidents have succeeded 10
the higher Office. Tyler was the first; then
FILLMORE, upon the death of President Tay-
lor; Johnson, upon the assassination OF Lin

dent Garfield, and Roosevelt, upon the as
sassnation Of President Mckinley. Two
Presidents have died natural deaths while in
office and three by the violent hand of as
sassns.
Governor Coolidge might properly resist
any effort to place him in the running for
the vicc-presidency AS long as he has a
chance to be nominated to head his party

incidentally. the country might feel more
comfortable to know that a man of Governor
