Dispatches from the prohi-
bition war zone indicate that
the drys were not to be able to
make a stand east of the Mis-
sissippi and north of the
Ohio, and that they will find
themselves heavily outnum-
bered in most of the Rocky
Mountain states, and prob
ably in all of the states of the
Pacific coast.
Even in such one-time dry strong
holds as the Carolinas, Florida,
Texas, Arkansas and the Dakotas,
the vets are reported in full charge
against the breaking ranks Of the
drys.
It now seems that all congress
sional prophets have underesti-
mated the momentum behind the
wet rebellion.
Wet leaders in Washington,
few hours ahead, did not foresee the
overwhelming vote of the senate
against the repeal resolution last
Thursday. Every hour since that
time their optimism has increased.
Speed Ratification Machinery
And their estimates of the length
of time necessary for ratification by
thirty-six states have shrunk
from four years to less than two
years-and they still are shrinking.
Ratification machinery speedily is
being organized. The legislatures,
much closer to the people than the
lame duck congress and more re-
sponsive to public demand, obvious
ly are anxious to let the people ex-
press their will.

Roosevelt to Spur Drive
President Elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who said in campaign
speech last fall that prohibition was
doomed the day the Democratic
platworm was adopted, is expected,
in his inaugural address, March 4,
to call on all states to speed up the
process of ratification.
He will have a chance to renew
the appeal at the White House con-
ference of Governors, March g.
In Wyoming, Governor Leslie Mil
Ter signed a bill Saturday providing
a ratification convention, and re-
quiring him to call special election
before April l.
Similar measures have been intro
duced, or are being drafted, in the
legislatures of Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania, New York, Rhode Island, New
Jersey. Michigan. Colorado, New
Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Indiana
and Wisconsin-to name few Of
the forty-one legislatures now in
session.
Cost Is Only Hope of Foes
Strangely, the only argument Of
the drys that seems to be proving
effective is that the conventions will
prove too great drain on debt
ridden state treasures.
State legislators are being urged
to withhold action, because there is
talk of Congress appropriating money
for the state conventions.
No such action, it is certain, viii
be taken by this congress. Many
constitutional lawyers in congress
contend the federal government does
not have the power to provide for
the conventions.
To hold ratifyiug conventions in
the forty-eight states, according to
Senator Hiram Bingham (Rep.,
Conn.,, viii require expenditure Of
approximately $4,000, 0OO-about the
same as the amount appropriated
annually for the federal prohibi-
ton enforcement bureau.

Boston as a member Of the State
house Of representatives. It was
then that he first met up with
largerscale politics.
1t Is said that along with his
credentials, Mr.. Coolidge presented
a letter from his predecessor say
ing, in effect, he was better than
he looked. In any event, the Yer
mont farm boy who had migrated
to the city by way Of Northamp-
ton, elected to sit back and listen
during those two years. In COM
mittee and on the floor he was
ever mindful of the motto hang
ing over his fireplace back home
to the effect that:
ga wise old owl lived in an oak;
"The more he saw, the less he
spoke.
'"The less he spoke, the more he
heard
'Wky can't we be like that old
bird?"
Calvin Coolidge was young
then, and too shy to talk much.
But his legislative efforts didn't
go unnoticed. They attracted the
attention Of the late Senator w.

man who was to prove such an
important factor in his life
Frank w. StearnS, the millionaire
merchant. This rotund, and
kindly little man attached him
self to the Coolidge political sky

matches to the fuse.
Chooses to Run
Just before America entered
the war, and as Mr.. Coolidge was
rounding out his term @s presi-

gan to prevail upon him to run
for lieutenant governor-although
this job usually had gone in the
past to someone from the States
silk-stocking class.
Mr.. Coolidge wouldn't give him
an answer Of any description for
weeks, but at the close Of the
session, he handed Stearns a
note that was prophetic Of the
now famous II do not choose to
run in 1928" statement. It read:
"T am candidate for lieuten-
ant governor. Calvin Coolidge"
That decision put him in the
State House. eventually into the
governors chair and brought him
to his next major milestone.
This was the Boston police
strike Of 1919. Arguments prob
ably will never cease as to
whether Governor Coolidge or
Mayor Peters deserved the real
credit for settling that strike,
but in a national way, Mr..
Coolidge got it.
No less a person than the
Democratic war President, Wood

the country's eye on this coming
man of. destiny. After Mr..
Coolidge, running for reelection,
had defeated his opponent largely
on the police-strike issue, Presi-

Innumerable milestones marked
Calvin Coolidge's progress to the
heights of America, but looking
backward, it would seem his
political destiny first was firmly
set on October 4, 1905.
That was the day the Nations
thirtieth President married Grace
Goodhue, of Burlington, vt.
Grace Goodhue Coolidge's con-
tribution to her husbands sue
ceSsful negotiation of the long
political road he chose to the
White House is inestimable.
Great Personal Charm
She was-and iS-the LADY
with the million dollar smile"
No one safely could count the
friends she made for Calvin
Coolidge, or the votes she swung
his way over the long years Of
his public career, but their total
would seem staggering. Mrs.
Coolidge has a personal charm
and magnetism that has en-
deared her permanently to the
American public.
Cur1ously enough, Mr.. Coolidge
lost the only election Of his life
as a result of his marriage to
Grace Goodhue. He had swung
himself up two notches when he
met her by being elected member
Of the Northampton, Mass, COM
mon council and later city clerk.
Suffered Only Defeat
While he pressed his suit on
the vivacious daughter Of a Lake
Champlain steamboat inspector,
young Coolidge enVisaged further
political progress and filed for
the school board. AS the we'd
ding day neared, he became con-
vir1ced he had his Democratic
opponent we'll in hand and paid
no particular attention to the
campaign.
He left for Burlington, was
married, and went on his honey
moon.
To the young couples great
surprise, when they returned to
Northampton to set up house
keeping, another Republican dad
entered the lists. Mr.. Coolidge
could not repair his fences IN
the few days remaining before
election and the Democrat sent
him down to his only defeat.

Enthusiastically, Stearns under

Harding Is Nominated
It is history that out of a
"smoke-filled room" came the
nomination of Warren g. Harding
and the subsequent stampede of
the tired delegates to Governor
Coolidge for Vice President.
Harry Daugherty, viii Hays
and the others who controved the
nomination of Mr.. Harding had
not wanted Mr.. Coolidge-had, in
fact, passed the word for Senator
Irvine Lenroot of Wisconsin-but
after the delegates heard the
impromptu nominating address
of Wallace McCammant of Ore
gon, delivered from the floor
atop a chair, they cast their votes
for the MassachuSettsan and
went home.
Then followed the move to
Washington, where for two years
and five months Mr.. Coolidge
presided over the United Statss
Senate and attended meetings of
the Harding Cabinet. It was
during this period, no doubt, that
he first came to be known as
Silent CAL" for as was the case
when he first went to Boston,
Mr.. Coolidge sat back, said moth
ing and absorbed everything.
Harding Dies Suddenly
On the night of August 2,
1923, by a decree Of fate, he

Harding. returning from Alaska,
and believed to be suffering a
temporary illness, died suddenly
