Well, he understood about service. He said, I want your vote. I need your vote. I'll appreciate your vote. But he wasn't corrupt. In fact, he was so terrified of being corrupt that he didn't want to take out a mortgage because then he would owe the bank, right?

Someone would own him. Oh, no. I think another factor, if you look at the Coolidge's, they have little amounts of money, little piles, little sums, and a number of banks, these deposits. And that was partly a function of the absence of deposit insurance in their era. They didn't want to risk too much on one bank, but it was also their political savvy.

But I think his service was marked by an absence of corruption. He just wanted to do a good job where he could. And he didn't make promises he couldn't keep. I don't want to get ahead of us, but when he becomes president, he doesn't think he's president of Massachusetts or Vermont. And we can talk about that later. He's president of the whole nation.

So he viewed serving Massachusetts and Vermont too much as evidence of poor presidency. The president works for everyone. You can't do for your own what you don't do for the rest of Americans with some consequences. I think he was quite consistent about that.

Yes, the Republican Party were the progressive party, remember, in that period. So he, as the lawmaker, he supported many progressive laws, even, you know, antitrust against theaters, the big amendments that passed to our Constitution nationally. Changes in Vermont that are regarded as progressive. But over time, he became a little skeptical about the volume of progressive shift.

He said, well, there are too many new laws. Give administration a chance to catch up with legislation. He didn't like the prescriptive, detailed aspect of all the new laws either. Give men some faith. You don't have to write everything down. That's a very old tradition he's leaning on, sort of common law. We don't need to write every single thing down and make a regulation about it.

What happened in 1919 when he was a new governor, say a freshman governor, was that it wasn't just a union that went on strike. It was a public sector union. Public sector unions are different from private sector unions, and there are different reasons for supporting them or being more skeptical about them.
