OLD FRIEND OF COOLIDGE
COBBLER AT HOME INTER-
ESTED IN VICE PRESIDENT
Characterized As Guide and
Philosopher; Story of the
Early Days
Associated Press Dispatch. ]

Northampton, Mass, March 16-
James Lucey, mender OF shoes, Is
pegging away in his shop here with
one eye on the newspapers for word
OF now the national capital treats
Calvin Coolidge, his one time assoc
late in local politics and now vice.
president.
When Vice. President Coolidge
just before departing for Washington
recently. grasped the cobbier's hand
as the photographers snapped their
cameras he gave him distinction
that he was asked to explain. Put
Mr.. Lucey down as my guide, phiio-
sopher and friend" he said, And
so the cobbler is now nationally
What the Vice president meant was
more OF less well known to North
ampton folk. The story goes back
to the days when Calvin Coolidge was
a sophomore at Amherst College.
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.
Went Frequently to See cobbler.
The student found the shoe maker 8
philosophy so engaging that during 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, continued his acquaintance
career in the politics OF the city and
state Mr.. Coolidge dropped in at the
shoe. shop from time to time to ex-
change ideas with his friend and have
the benefit of the latter's pointed pol
itical observations.
The youthful Coolidge took away
lessons from the cobbler counsellor;
Coolidge the candidate received
the benifit of his influence which was
considerable ir city politics. and when
he rose to a position of state and nat
ional prominence he stiH received the
loyal support Of the shoeman. Mr.
Coolidge long since passed out 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,
Made Friendship. Firmer.
The cohbler says that the only
time he ever crossed Calvin Cool
idge seemed to make firmer the
friendship between them. Mr.. Coo
lidge had sought the election of a
friend as mayor and asked Mr.. Lucey
as delegate to the party caucus 70
stand in his behalf but the cobbler
already bound to the opposing can
didate, refused This evidence oi
loyalty to prior allegiance served
to heighten their mutual respect.
The shoe maker, native Of Ireland
came to Northampton, forty years ago
at the age OF twenty-five. He has
been at his last in the stme shop for
thirty years. A family Of eight chill
dren, seven Of whom are now living
has made demands on his earning
ability. Five are girls; one is a
stenographers two are teachers, a
fourth who was formerly teacher is
now married and one is a clerk. OF
the two boys one is graduate Of Holy
Cross college, and the other is a
student in the Northampton COM
mercial college.
