June 13, 1920. Silent Cal chosen for VP.


The morning news was reporting what the evening news had the prior day, Harding was the GOP nominee.

And people were learning that Calvin Coolidge would be his running mate.

Coolidge was a New Englander who at the time was the Governor of Massachusetts.  He had come to prominence the prior year during the Boston police strike and unlike his running mate, he had no hidden bones, or mistresses, in the closet.
