Context: Coolidge also writes about the campaign in his Autobiography, “In the campaign for election I toured the state with Mr. McCall, making open-air speeches from automobiles during the day, and finishing with an indoor rally in the evening. It was the hardest kind of work but most fascinating.” During the campaign, Ohio Senator Warren G. Harding came to stump for the McCall/Coolidge ticket in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Dear Father:-
Campaign is practically over. I shall be elected – probably by a large majority. Mr. McCall will probably win. He may have a large majority, but it is likely to be close. I have been making fifteen speeches some days for the past three weeks.
Your Son,
Calvin Coolidge
