^ Calvin Coolidge was destined to go
by successive steps to the highest
^ and mightiest office of a great na
tion, to administer its affairs for
sis years and to terminate his
presidential career virtually of his

To the vice-presidency and to
the presidency, he brought a shrewd
common sense, a quiet personality
£ in vivid contrast with some of his
predecessors, a keen native wit,
and many homely likSs and dislikes J
retained from h1s New England boy
hood. j
Among his supporters he inspir
ed an ardent. admiration and from
his political opponents he often re
ceived the bitterest of denuncia
tions. But there, were nevertheless, \
many in the latter group who val
^Nied his friendship and liked to
smoke a cigar with him and talk
things oyer.
He attained the presidency up
on the death of Warren G. Harm
ing in 1923. In 1924 be. ran for
president and was elected by a
popular majority of 7.009.000. the"
greatest that had been accorded
a candidate for the presidency up
to that time.
Following the completion of his
V 'arm he retired to private life
again. It was while on a vacation

to run for president in 1928.**
He explained this statement at
If a later date, following thousands
of interpretations of the remark:
* "It is hasardons," he wrote, "to
attempt what we fe$ is beyond
our strength," In addition to this
statement there were several other
