A $500 EDITORIAL
Among the Pulitzer journalism priz
es recently announced for the 1923
year, was a $500 award made for the
best editorial of the year. The win
ning editorial captioned “Who made'
Coolidge?”, was written by Frank
Buxton, managing editor of the Boston
Herald and it appeared Septemebr 24,
1923, a short time after President Cal
vin Coolidge took the oath of office.
The editorial is so striking from every
viewpoint that it is herewith reproduc
ed:
Who made Calvin Coolidge ?
Margaret Foley, of course. When
Levis Greenwood was president of the
Massachusetts senate he opposed wom
en suffrage. She opposed his re-elec
tion in his district and prevailed. Sen
ator Coolidge became President Cool
idge on Beacon Hill and the signals
were set clear for the road to gover
norship.
Who made Calvin Coolidge?
Edwin U. Curtis, of course. When
he was a sick man in that old brick
building at the dead-end of Pember
ton Square the heedless policemen
went on strike to the refrain, “Hail,1
Hail, the Gang’s all Here!” The Sick
man showed the strength of the stal-!
wart, until finally Governor Coolidge
sent a telegram to Samuel Gompers
that tapped its way into national
prominence and is today a sort of a
Magna Charta of the people’s rights.
Who made Calvin Coolidge?
James Lucey, the Northhampton
cobbler ,of course. No explanation or
argument is necessary here, but mere
ly a reminder. The Herald published
a fac-simile a few days ago of Presi
dent Coolidge’s letter to him which
said: “If it were not for you, I would
not be here.”
Who made Calvin Coolidge ?
Frank W. Stearns, of course. With
as close an approximation to second
sight as we may expect in these days,
and with an ability to see around the
corner years before Finstein told us
how rays of light are bent, this sub
stantial, self-made, self respecting old
Boston merchant, with his quiet sense
of obligation to the community, dis
cerned qualities which hardly anybody
else glimpsed. To go to the republi
can convention he left a governor, only
to come back to pay his respects to a
potential vice president.
Who made Calvin Coolidge?
Senator Crane, of course. He made
Calvin by showing him, in precept and
practice, the way of wisdom and by
vouching for him in high places where
his chance say-so was as good as his
oath or bond. To the younger men he
gave that mixture of personal attach
ment and respect of which he was none
too political, but always of mighty ad
vantage to the few who won it .
Who made Calvin Coolidge?
The republican party of Massachus
etts of course, a canny organization
with some bourbonism, some demo
cracy, some vision, some solid tradi
tions, and no end o fgenuine appre
ciation of the merits of a trustworthy
man. It always lined up behind him
solidly even when he qispia>ea uiat
reticence which to the unknowing was
some evidence of ingratitude and to
the knowing was merely Coolidgeism.
Who made Calvin Coolidge?
The people of Massachusetts, of
Massachusetts, of course. They took
him at more than his own modest val
uation, whether he wanted to be town
officer or governor. They had that
which thousands call a blind faith in
him. More thousands call it a passion
ate intuition.
Who made Calvin Coolidge?
His mother, of course. Who en
dowed him with her own attributes; a
father that taught him prudential
ways with all the quiet vigor of the
old Greeks, who preached moderation
in everything; his school and his col
lege; his classmate, Dwight Morrow,
and his guest of a day or twTo at the
White House, William F. Whiting.
Who made Calvin Coolidge?
Calvin Coolidge, of course. From
the reflective shoemaker and furious
Miss Foley to the complacent Frank
l W. Stearns and the watchful and dis
| ceming sertator from Dalton came
I some of the makings but the man him
I self had the essentials of greatness.
