The first part of our two-column series on President Calvin Coolidge reviewed his early career, culminating in his service as Massachusetts governor. Today, his time as vice president and 30th president.

In 1920, Coolidge was a favorite son candidate for president from Massachusetts. At that time, most states chose delegates to the Republican national convention at their state conventions.

Carson City, Nevada residents Gene and Ruth Ratner have faced a lot of adversity in their lives, probably the same as most other nonagenarians, war, divorce, death of loved ones, disease, more than some and not as many as others.

Kristin Luis, a candidate for Justice of the Peace Department Two, held her campaign kick-off at Glen Eagle's Restaurant and Lounge Monday night. She spoke to a packed room of supporters. She addressed a lively crowd about her plans if elected. She focused on her experiences as a prosecutor and the importance of understanding criminal laws in the position. She also highlighted her ability to make objective decisions due to her work as the Juvenile Special Master here in Carson City.

John Calvin Coolidge Jr., our 30th President, 1923-1929, was perhaps America’s most under-rated chief executive. He was a man of few words, decisive action and a dry sense of humor.

“Silent Cal” was born on the Fourth of July in 1872 in Vermont, the son of a prominent local farmer, general store owner, postmaster and politician. He was the only president born on Independence Day, although three former presidents died on the Fourth.
