hoover was bleeding heart. i think this derived from their custom of exchanging those plans on easter sunday. they did that for a number of years. hoover corresponded at times with mrs. which on several occasions. in 1962 at the age of 88, he enthusiastically accepted the invitation of coolidge's son john to join the advisory board of the new calvin coolidge memorial foundation and urged him to establish a coolidge presidential library. thus, the norms of politeness prevailed over full public disclosure of hoover's often tense relationship with calvin coolidge. and what more need now be set? political parties are alliances of the factions. only three times in the 20th century, 1908, 1928 and 1988, did an elected candidate of one party succeed in office and elected incumbent of the same party. such intraparty successions can be fraught with peril, for they entail the ascendancy of a new faction within the coalition. trouble can soon result. if calvin coolidge have been a younger man and less of an organization m

hoover's price? -- prize. one was that coolidge believed a sitting president should not influence his successor. ofecond, the lack first-class alternatives. vice president troll dolls -- c the farmwes favored bill. embracedontender also that bill. had it not been for that bill veto, he might have won the nomination over hoover in the end. -- this dearth of acceptable rivals to hoover haugenores the mcnary controversy in the 1920's. on this, one of the key issues of the day, hoover and coolidge on the same side of the ideological divide. without this a common ground between them, it is doubtful hoover could have become coolidge's successor. in the next several months, the now familiar coolidge-hoover pattern manifested itself. and privatectness strain. on july 16, the republican nominee and his wife visited the presidential retreat in wisconsin. at the outset, it was an awkward encounter. when the two men met, the president was not smiling. it was left to the two wives to do the smiling. a few minutes

-- that he hoped to be hoover's running mate. he did become the running mate, but not of hoover. their wartime association and aftermath, which led to a cordial but not intimate friendship, did not cease they still have contacts on occasion, but they were going and politically different directions. hoover had become a republican, and roosevelt was a democrat and seeking to overcome polio and rehabilitate his career. in 1928, hoover was running for president and roosevelt that year, somewhat against his own inclination, was kind of coerced almost into running for governor of new york to help the democrats carry that state. that was when hoover was running against smith. narrowly,one very while hoover was carrying the state by over 100,000 votes. a lot of tickets living. that established roosevelt immediately in 1929 as governor of the largest state with the most electoral votes in the country and potential heir to the white house. certain things happened, not time to get -- i don't have time to get into the details, but roosevelt

what also makes these book s unique is that these were owned by herbert hoover. herbert hoover purchased these at a bookstore in new york city -- i'm not exactly sure what year -- about two blocks from where he lived in waldorf towers. the books were part of his private library, sold by his family in the later 1800s, for $20. herbert hoover spent about $2700 to buy these books. now who knows what they are worth. here we are at john adams. john adams was our second president. one of our founding fathers. what we have for john adams is to seal, which he used authenticate his signature on the treaty in paris. he was sent to negotiate with the british and this seal, while the adams family did not have their own family crest, that is the crest he used, the wilson family crest, which was the family crest of his mother-in-law. then, moving on to thomas jefferson, our third president, also a founding father, we have a glass ink well and 810 name -- -- and a pen nib holder. the quill pen a lot, but a wooden holder with held a special tip which would be used to write. the
