...seat from a Chicago district mostly populated by Negroes. With his long record, unusual ability and dignified conduct, silver-polled Mr. Madden had the sympathy and support of decent citizens.

Bands played and the people of Rapid City cheered, waved, called "Goodby . . . Good-by Grace! . . . Good-by Cal. . . ." President Coolidge stood bowing and gesticulating; he made no speech, for already he had told the assembled population that "the hospitality that has been extended to us has been nothing less than remarkable. . . ." Mrs. Coolidge and John Coolidge laughed and waved. Then the locomotive snout sneezed, the wheels began turning and the Coolidges, standing on the back platform...
