Coolidge, Child of Destiny,
Drafted for Public Service
From Farm to White House
THIS PRESCRIPTION
FOR KIDNEYS
Not Drugs—Just Roots and
Herbs
Calvin Coolidge is a true child of
destiny.
His very birth was an omen. He
was ushered into the world on the
Fourth of July, 1872, while fire-
crackes roared and sizzed and Ameri-
can age and youth were filled with
patriotism.
It was his natal day falling on the
rebirth of patriotism as much as his
slow, steady but spectacular rise as a
national figure that gave Mr. Cool-
idge the conviction that he was po-
tentially a President. His faith In
himself won the faith of the Nation.
■ From the obscurity of the village
of Plymouth, Vt., step by step, he
mounted the political ladder. He ar-
rived at the top in the early-morning
hours of Aug. 3, 1923, when he took
the oath as thirtieth President of the
United States by the flickering light
of a kerosene lamp on his father's
Vermont farm.
As far back as 1915, when Cool-
idge was struggling for the lieuten-
ant governorship of Massachusetts,
his closest friend, Frank W. Stearns
of Boston, remarked:
“This maa will be President some
day. . He is declined and can not
escape it even if he would.”
So this farmer’s boy begun milk-
ing cows and taking his place at
the plow, with the thought that
some day he' would be President.
Coming of Puritan ancestors, who
settled in Massachusetts in 1630 and
wrung a living from the rocky soil,
young Calvin had the grit to fit
himself for his destiny.
From the little red schoolhouse in
the vicinity of his birthplace, he
went to the Block River and St.
Johnsburg Academies, and later to
Amherst College, graduating in 1895.
He developed into a typical Yankee,
reticent and stoical, but sympathetic
for all his cold exterior
Went Into Politics.
Immediately after being admitted
to the bar young Coolidge took an
active interest in politics and began
a march upward through minor city
offices in Northhampton, Mass.,
where he settled to practice his pro-
fession. Two years after he married
Grace A. Goodhue, a Burlington
(Vt.) school teacher, In 1905, he
got his first political place of im-
portance—election to the Massachu-
setts House of Representatives.
After serving two terms as Mayor
of Northampton he went to the State

Even President Wilson, although of
the opposite party faith, joined in
congratulating Coolidge.
Volumes were written about “the
new Roosevelt,” as he was hailed in
many quarters. But while he lack-
ed the personal magnetism of the
strenuous T. R., Coolidge, the coun-
try was to learn later, had strong
characteristics of his own. Aqd on
that reputation he rode into the vice
presidency with Warren G. Herding
in 1920.
During the two and a half years
that he presided over the Senate,
Coolidge slipped back into obscurity.
He made no attempt to thrust him-
self into the limelight, but quietly,
courteously and judiciously went
shout his job of being Vice Presi-
dent.
Although Massachusetts knew him
well as Governor, he was a mystery
in Washington as Vice President. He
did not play poker or golf and made
few Intimate friends. He was of the
Senate, but quietly aloof, from it. In
the Harding Cabinet he sat back and
listened, seldom volunteering an
opinion, but when he did it was
sound. At all times he sturdily
hacked his chief.
