SHOE COBBLER IS REAL GUIDE
 TO COOLIDGE;

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, March q (by Associated Press) ).-James Lucey, mender of shoes, is begging away in his shop here with one eye on the newspapers for word of how the na- tional capital treats Calvin Coolidge, his one-time associate in local poli- tics and now vic-president.
 When Vice-President Coolidge, just before departing for Washington re- gently, grasped the cobbler's hand as the photographers snapped their cam eras he gave him distinction that he was asked to explain. Put MT. Lucey down as my guide, philosopher and friend" he said. And so the cob bier is now nationally known.
 What the president meant was more or less known to Northampton folk. The story goes back to the days when Calvin Coolidge was a sophomore at Amhert college. With shoes to be repaired he sought Lucey's shop on Gothic street in this city and then remained to listen to the cobbler's homely comments on topics of the day.
 The student found the shoe mak- CTS philosophy so engaging that dur ing the remainder of his college course he went frequently to see him. As a lawyer later young Coolidge opened offices here and while he waited for clients, he continued his acquaintance with the Cobbler. Throughout his career in the politics of the city and state, Mir Coolidge ! dropped in at the shoe shop from , time to time to exchange ideas with his friend and have the benefit of the latter's pointed political observa- l tions.
 The youthful Coolidge took away 1 lessons from the cobbler counsellor; 1 Coolidge the candidate received the benefit of his influence which was considerable in city politics, and when he rose to a position of state and national prominence he still re- cived the loyal support of the shoe man. Mir, Lucey modestly explaining that MT Coolidge long since passed out of his range of influence 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 the only time he ever crossed Calvin Coolidge seemed to make firmer the friendship between them. MT. Coolidge. had sought the election of friend as
 mayor and asked MT. Lucey as a delegate to the party caucus to stand
 in his behalf but the cobbler, al
 ready bound to the opposing candi
 date, refused. This evidence of loyal
 ty to a prior allegiance served tc lheighten their mutual respect.
 The shoe maker a native of Ire
 land, came to Northampton, 40 years
 ago at the age of 22. He has been
 at his last ill the same shop for 3C years. A family of eight children
 seven of whom are now living has
 made demands on his earning ability
 Five are girls; one is stenographer
 two are teachers, fourth who was
 formerly a teacher, is now married and one is a clerk. Of the two boys
 one is graduate of Holy Cross col
 lege, and the other is a student ir the Northampton commercial college
