8. Barry, Rising, 289; Wilson, Hoover, 117–18.

9. Hoover, Cabinet and the Presidency, 190; Wilson, Hoover covers the pre-nomination battle, 122–26. Coolidge, by practically everyone’s reckoning, was an odd duck—and astute politician. A strong argument can be made he hankered after a convention draft. He certainly frustrated Hoover and others’ attempts to solicit a Shermanesque statement. Hoover’s recollection of the bid for the nomination is interesting, informative, and funny; he offers hilarious insights into Coolidge’s tight-lipped persona—Coolidge not only refused to encourage him to run, he barely grunted a word to Hoover’s inquiries whether or not he was running himself. For additional material on Coolidge’s problematic positioning see Donald R. McCoy, Calvin Coolidge: The Quiet President (New York: The Macmillan Company, 1967), 382–92. See, too, David Burner, Herbert Hoover: A Public Life (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1979), 190–95.
