Abstract

The Massachusetts Escalator
Kent, Frank R. | May 19, 1926 issue

add to cart   close window

The badly concealed uneasiness of the little White House group over the flaming Massachusetts campaign which David I. Walsh has started against the return to the Senate of William M. Butler, whose relations to the President plus his position in the party link his political fortunes tightly with those of John Calvin Coolidge, will make the Massachusetts fight increasingly interesting from now on. The Coolidge cord is not unique in Massachusetts. It is the system that is unique, not the man. There have been plenty of Republicans there who have equaled his record at the polls and quite a number who have exceeded it. No one gets to the top in Massachusetts politics except along the escalator route.
