Swan Song for Mr. Coolidge

This article presents information on several socio-political developments in the U.S. It is informed that general average of appointments by Calvin Coolidge, President of the U.S. is lower than any other U.S. President. It was certainly lower than Warren Harding, 29th President of the U.S. It is informed that the chief element of popular strength in the Coolidge cabinet was inherited from Harding. With a final defiant gesture, Coolidge has named Irvine Lenroot and Henry Glassie to high judicial posts. Lenroot's principal recommendation is the fact that after being overwhelmingly repudiated by his own constituents, he accepted a $20,000 fee to represent the power trust before a Senate committee, in an effort to avert an investigation.
