Guide, Philosopher
And Friend,' Says
Coolidge of Cobbler
James Lucey, Member of
Shoes, Gave Vice-Presi-
dent Points OH Politics
i'll Early College Days

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, March 10
James Lucoy, mendcr OF shoes, Is peg
ging away in his shop here with ono
ego on the newspapers for word Of
how tho national capital treats Calvin
Coolidge, his onctimc associate in To-
cal politics and now Vice. President.
When Vice President Coolidge, just
before departing for Washington,
graspcd the cobblcr's hand as the
photographers snapped their cameras
he gave him distinction that he was
asked to explain. "Put Mr.. Luccy down
as my guide, philosopher and friend"
he said. And so the cobblcr is now
nationally known.
What tho Vice President meant was
more or less we'll known to Northamp-
ton folk. The story goes back to the
days when Calvin Coolidge was a
sophomore at Amherst College. With
shoes to be repaired, he sought Luccys
shop, on Gothic Street. in this city. and
then remained to listen to the cobbler's
homcly comments on topics Of the day
The student found :ho shocmakers
philosophy so engaging that during the
remainder of his college course he
went frequently to sec him. AS a law
Yer later young Coolidge opened Of
fees here, and while he waited for
clients continued his acquaintance with
the cobbler. Throughout his career in
the politics Of the city and state Mr..
Coolidge dropped in at the shoe shop
from time to time to exchange ideas
with hls friend and have the benefit of
thc lattcrs pointed political observa-
tons.
The youthful Coolidge took sway les
sons from the cobblcr counsellor; Coo
idgc the candidate received tho benefit
of his influence, which was considera-
bic, in city politics, and when he rose
to position of state and national
prominence he still received the loyal
support of the shoeman Mr.. Lucey. mod
estly explaining that Mr. Coolidge long
since passed out of his range of inhu-
ence. admits that he may have been Of
some help when the Vice President was
on the first rungs of the political
ladder
The cobbler says that tho only time
Hc ever crossed tdINln AOOlluHe seemed
to make irmer the friendship between
them. Mr.. Coolidge had sought the
election of a friend as Mayor and asked
Mr.. Lucey as delegate to .he party
caucus to stand in his behalf, but the
cobbler, already bound to the oppos-
ing candidate, refused. This evidence
of loyalty TO a prior allegiance served
to heighten their mutual respect.
The shoemaker. a native of Ireland
came to Northampton forty years ago,
at the age of twenty-five. He has been

years A family of eight children,

Religious and secular music was in
cluded in the program of the concert

of Palcstrina's famous "Missa Papa
Marcelli," the kyric, the Gloria and the
Credo, began the evening. 1t had
originally been intended to present the
Mass as a whole, but it was finally
decided to omit the three shorter clos
ing sections, the Sanctus. Bonedictus
and Agnus Del, and to postpone their
rendition for another year.

music, in which the composer sought

He said the only question was who
would initiate the discussion, but on
this point the British government
would not stand on ceremony.
The government, he declared, well
coined the hint thrown out by Presi-
dent Harding in his inaugural address,
and that it would meet with cordial and
helpful response here.

DENLY, the American Secretary of the
Navy, that Great Britain and America
could control the seas.
But" he added "thc question is
whether we have the right of direction

sulting each other. In that respect |
think this government has clear

The first lord advocated plain speak

America should maintain navy equal

See No Reason for Friction
That is claim,' he said, that we
should never have expected save in con-
nection with the great English speaking
nation which sprang from our loins
and ever holding a great place in our
