that's the herbert hoover faction. then there was another faction which was we need a constitutional conservative, a guy who really believes in the declaration of independence which was central to cool in's thinking. he really -- coolidge's thinking. his christian view was as we all have a common father in god, the father, therefore, we're all brothers. any form of government in which i try to enslave you or you try to ensleaf my, be it in the form of world war sr., be it slavery, be it indentured servitude, all of that is against god's wish for all of us. and i go into some length on his christian faith, why that was so important to what he was trying to do. but what happened with the republican party is it was split ideologically x they realized they could not actually defeat the woodrow wilson faction, unpopular though it was, until they kind of come wind factions -- combined factions. so coolidge was very much a part of combining that funk. nevertheless, he recognized while herbert hoover was his commerce secretary

nevertheless he recognized that while herbert hoover was his commerce secretary herbert hoover also was not necessarily about the kind of politically small conservative declaration of independence approach to things. on the contrary. he dismissively referred to him as his wonder boy. he said for six years the man has been giving me unsolicited advice all that bad and refused to endorse them until the last possible moment which was never done at the time. to the last possible moment he refused to endorse him. why? because herbert hoover was a mighty executive and he believed in a progressive mindset that businessmen can run things better as if you are all cogs in the machine rather than free men and women who want to live a certain way. coolidge was very much opposed to that. the commerce secretary, how am i doing on time? the commerce secretary, have a lot to say. the commerce secretary at the time herbert hoover expanded the government massively in his own department. many of the things that he did in the 1930s when he was president, from 28 until 32 was fdr like. there was no distinct

herbert hoover signed a bad tariff which was the wrong thing to do. well, republicans did that a lot. they were pro tariff, put hoofer knew better because he made his trade in international trade, and he lived in london and asia and he knew how key trade was to increase prosperity. yet he talked himself out of vanity into signing halley, he didn't want to be overridden, and it contributed one of the factors that made the great depression great. it may even well be in the exhibits over there here at the library, the exhibit about history. so i -- we said, how can we show that hoover goofed by signing hally. he should have hesitated more. and we look for imagery and we knew that hoover played with medicine balls, like a big heavy ball. it was dr. the doctor there was the coolidge doctor, found him a medicine ball and he would heave it around with whatever staff were lucky never to get to play with him and it was kind of a -- a little bit funny, nonyoung person, man or woman, acting all macho about sports and working out in that way so we played on this,
