Mbs* . Mar 16.— (A. IP.)—James Lucey, mender of •hoes. Is pegging away In his shoe ■hop here with one eye on the tiewspapers for word uf how the na- tlonal capital treats Calvin Coolidge, his one-time associate in local pol itics and now vice-president. When Vice President Coolidge, just before departing for Washing ton recently. grasi>ed the . cobbler's hand as the photographers snappml their cameras he gave him a dis- Unction that he was asked to ex- plain. 'iPut Mr. Lucey down as my guide, philosopher and friend," he ■aid. And so the cobbler la now na tlonally known. What the vice president meant was more or less well known to Northampton folk, The story goes back to the days when Calvin Cool idge was a sophomore at Amherst college With shoes to be repaired he sought Lucey'« shop on Gothic street in thia city and then remained to listen to the cobbler's homely comments on topics of the day. The student found the shoe mak er's philosophy so engaging that dur ing the remainder of his college course he went frequently to see him. As a lawyer young Coolidge opened offices here and while he waited for clients, continued his acquaintance with the cohbler. Throughout hfs ca reer in the politics of the city and state, Mr. Coolidge dropped In at the shoe shop from time to time to ex change Ideas with his friend and have the benefit of the latter's potnt- ed political observations The youthful Coolidge took away lessons from the ¡cobbler counsellor; Coolidge the candidate received the benefit of his influence which was considerable in city politics, and when he rose to a position of state and national prominence he still re ceived 'the loyal support of the shoe man. Mr. Lucey modestly explaining that Mr. Coolidge long since passed out of his range of influence, admits that he may have been of some help when the vice president was on the first rungs of the -political ladder. The cobbler says that the only time he ever crossed Calvin Coolidge seemed to make firmer the friend ship between them. iMr. Coolidge had «ought the election of a friend as mayor and asked Mr. Lucey as a delegate to the party caucus to stand in 'his behalf but the cobbler, already bound to the opposing candidate, re fused. This evidence of loyalty to a prior allegiance served to heighten their mutual respect. The shoe maker, a native of Ire land, came to Northampton, 40 years ago at the age of 22. He has been at his last In the same shop for 30 years. A family of eight children, seven of whom are now living has made demands on his earning ability. Five are girls; one Is a stenographer, two are teachers, a fourth who was ______ _ _ a teacher Is now married formerly and one is a clerk. Of the two boys one Is a graduate of Holy Cross col lege. and the other is a student in I the Northampton commercial college. I J. Z.
