election in 1901 when he became the
Republican leader in the senate.
He decided to eappitulate his stead
lily growing popularity and announc-
ed his candidacy for lieutenant gov
ernor With Myron T.. Herrick, GU
bernatorial candidate, he rode into
office without difficulty From then
on his influence in the Republican
party increased until he w 8
accorded national recognition. In
1910 he was nominated for governor,
but fell before the Democratic land
slide of that year.
William Howard Taft and Harding
had been warm personal friends for
a long time and in 1912 it was decided
to entrust Harding with Taft's nomi-
mating address before the national
convention in Chicago. His strong
personality, striking appearance and
oratorical ability made him one Of
the outstanding figures of that tur-
bulent session.
In 1914 there was a persistent de-
mand for Harding to declare himself
candidate in the senatorial race. He
was hesitant and held off because Of
his friendship for Joseph B. Foraker
speaker of the house, who was also
candidate. Following a meeting be-
tween the two Harding stepped into
the arena and defeated his Demo-
cratic opponent, 7. S. Hogan, attor-
ney general for the state.
Harding is tall, handsome, impress
sive in appearance and figure sure
of attracting attention in or out of a
distinguished gathering. He is clean
shaver, his face is clear cut, topped
off by a high, broad forehead. His
hair is gray and closely cropped. AL
together the ensemble reminds one
Of grim-lipped practician of the Ro-
man senate.
Calvin Coolidge, whom the repub-
licans nominated for vice president
at their national convention in Chi
cago, is the forty-eighth governor Of
Massachusetts. He is a red, white
and blue American, for he was born
on the fourth of July, in Plymoth,
VT, 48 years ago the next Independ-
ence day. His father, Col. John c.
Coolidge, of Vermont, is still living.
| The father was a member of the YER
mont senate for two years, while at
the same time his son was in the
Massachusetts, senate.
Young Coolidge attended Amherst
college and later took up the practice
of law in Northampton, Mass. 1t
was then his political career began.
His rise was steady. He served first
in the Northampton city council.
Subsequently he was elected mayor,
city solicitor, clerk of the Hampshire
county court, state representative,
president of state senate, lieutenant
governor and governor.
Governor Coolidge leaped into ma
tional esteem on Sept. 3 last, when
he crushed the strike of Boston's po-
lice force. With the city turned over
TO reign of criminals, Governor
Coolidge called out the state troops
on the jump and summarily discharg-
ed more than 1900 policemen who had
quit their posts.
This was made the paramount Is
sue Of the campaign for governor in
November by his opponent, Richard
II. Long, who promised to reinstate
every one of the 1900 discharged po-
licemen. The answer of the people
was that Coolidge carried Massachu-
setts-a state where normally 20
600 plurality is largely a plurality
