ADVISER

DEAD IN BOSTON
Frank Stearns, Known as
White House Floor Walk

was member of the Massachusetts
Senate. The dry goods merchant was
an alumnus of Amherst; so was
Coolidge Up to 1914 they had never
met, Mr.. Stearns later said until
then he had never had heard OF
Calvin Coolidge.
Amherst College sought state
permission to build sewage sys-
tenn, and Mr.. Stearns, trustee OF
the college, went to the State House
in the interest of bill for the
improvement. Naturally, he sought
brother alumnns to sponsor the
bill. Coolidge told him something
like this: TOO late to put the bill
through this session. Come back
next year"
When he got around TO it the
next year. Mr.. Stearns went to the
State House, only TO learn that the
thing had been attended to. The
quiet, business-like manner with
which Coolidge acted impressed Mr..
Stearns. The relatively unimportant
matter involving Amherst made the
two men warm friends and later
close companions.
Step Near Goal
In the early days of their ac-
quaintance, Mr.. Stearns later said,
he was convinced. but did not know
why, that Calvin Coolidge was one
Of the great men of Massachusetts.
When Coolidge was President OF
the State Senate his sponsor gave
a dinner in his honor and intro
duced his guest as coming Gov
ernor Of the state.
When that prediction became a
reality, Mr. Stearns began casting
his eye toward the White House.
He went to the National Republic
can convention in 1920 with that
in mind, but when the convention
named his man for second place on
the ticket with Warren G. Harding,
the Boston merchant took it philo-
sophicaIly as "a step nearer the
goal"
Asked no Favors
The ambition of Mr.. Stearns was
realized when Mr.. Coolidge finally
entered the White House and he
and Mrs. Stearns were perhaps the
most frequent guests at the execu-
tive mansion For all he had dont
in behalf OF Mr.. Coolidge, Mr.
Stearns asked no fayors or honors
apparently being satisfied with hi.
proximity to the President.
Mr.. Stearns was born at Boston
November 8, 1856, the son of Rich.
ard H. and Louisa Maria Waterman
Stearns. After his education a.
Amherst College, he entered tht
business founded by his father il
1847. Eventually, he became chair
man OF the board Of The r. H
Stearns Company On February 20
1880, Mr.. Stearns married Mis-
Emily Williston Clark of Amherst
Mass. They had three children.
