I HAVE finally determined to keep some notes while I occupy my present office. Contemporaneous comment on facts Is almost always the most valuable. What one may write after an event Is a recollection of it not an ob servation. Ones recollections, too, may be confused by later events. However, since I have been neglectful In writing during the first three years of my service as Vice Presi dent, a natural desire to make some permanent record of it will lead me In the first part of this new journal to comment upon the past and the present together. My experiences In this office I have found far from uninteresting and unimportant. The superficial attitude of Indifference which many public men assume toward the office of Vice President of the United States is easily explained. It is the office for which one cannot hope to be a candidate with sufficient prospects for success to justify the effort Involved in a long campaign. One s political availability for nomination to the position cannot be determined until the nominating con vention has in effect decided upon the head of the ticket. Geographic considerations sectional political situ ations which continually change, combined with the 4 NOTES AS VICE PRESIDENT controlling fact that the nomination for the vice-presi dency must fit into a picture dominated by the Presi dential nominee make early quest for the office too dangerous to attract public men of sufficient stature to justify a serious aspiration for it. Nevertheless it is regarded at its real value by public men, whatever may be their assumed attitude. To-day we see the ma jority leader of the Senate nominated for the vice presidency by the Republican Party, and the minority leader in a receptive mood at the Democratic National Convention at Houston, which has just assembled. June 26 1928. The office is largely what the man in it makes it which applies to all public offices. The fact that, the Vice President in the Senate Chamber cannot enter into debate is considered a disadvantage, yet for that reason he is removed from the temptation to indulge in the pitiable quest of that double objective so char acteristic of many Senate speeches the placating of general public opinion and of an opposing local constit uency at the same time. For Ms prestige as a presiding officer, it is to his advantage that he neither votes nor speaks in the Senate Chamber. Outside the Senate Chamber, his position as Vice President gives him a hearing by the general public as wide as that accorded any Senator, other things being equal If he lacks initia tive, courage., or ideas 7 he of course will be submerged but that is true also of a Senator or any other parlia mentary member. Whatever may be said to the contrary as anyone discovers who occupies the office the people hold it in NOTES AS VICE PRESIDENT 5 great respect... ... Read more

For his work on the Dawes Plan for World War I reparations he was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
