As quoted on Benjamin Harrison

“Back in 1892, liberals had faced the bleak prospect of choosing between two conservative alternatives for president, incumbent Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland mounting a comeback. Out of this quandary came the People’s Party, also known as the Populist Party.”

“"Mr. Coolidge was a real conservative, probably the equal of Benjamin Harrison," said Herbert Hoover, who was frequently at odds with his chief. "He was a fundamentalist in religion, in the economic and social order, and in fishing,” added Hoover, who had a fly fisherman’s disdain for Coolidge’s artless reliance on worms.”
