...breakfast at No. 15 Dupont Circle, President Coolidge, Senator McNary of Oregon (coauthor of the vetoed McNary-Haugen farm relief bill) and sundry powers of the Republican party shook hands all around.

His parental cares are lightened by a secret service man who follows his undergraduate son from class to class and within the past few months the "official spokesman" has relieved the president of another responsibility.
