REGARDS Mr. Colby’s
servant
John Arnold. Regards the
immigration department advises that
while the district headquarters of the US Commissioner of
Immigration does not have the authority to grant additional
extensions of one year it will be
necessary to have the necessary forms propertly filled out and sent
in for review. They advise
Mr. Colby to do so immediately. Mr. Evererett Sanders was also
President Calvin Coolidge’s
Private Secretary.
There is no carbon of Mr. Colbys response
in
these documents thus far found.
(History note- I believe that this gentleman was also at one time
President Calvin Coolidge’s
private secretary but it could be another man by the same name.
oct
6 1930- March 8, 1882 – May 12, 1950 was
an
American
political figure
. He was
Presidential secretary
to
President
Calvin Coolidge
and chairman of the
Republican
National Committee
. J. Everett Sanders Section 17, Lot 240 James
Everett Sanders was born March 8,
1882 in Clay County, Indiana. After graduating from Indiana State
Normal, currently Indiana
State University, he studied law at the Indiana University School of
Law where he coached the
1907 basketball team. After finishing law school and passing the
bar, Sanders moved back to
Terre Haute to practice law. He also taught school. He was elected
to Congress for the first time
in 1916, but served a total of four terms. After his time in Congress
, he was the head of the
Republican Party speaker's bureau. It was in this position that he
met Calvin Coolidge and
secured his place as Vice President to President Warren Harding.
When Harding died in 1923,
Coolidge took office and, in 1924, won the Presidential election.
When Coolidge took office,
Sanders became his private secretary, handling many of the
President's affairs. When Coolidge
chose not to run for re-election, Sanders formed a law firm in
Washington, D.C., Sanders,
Childs, Bobb & Wescott. Soon, the firm was very prestigious. He
was working at this firm when
his wife died in 1931. Sanders also served as the national party
chairman for the Republican
Party from 1931 until 1934. Also during that time, in January of
1933, Calvin Coolidge died.
Following the former President's death, Sanders began a courtship
of Grace Coolidge, his
widow. Sadly, she turned him down.Having been rejected by Grace
Coolidge, Sanders married
Hilda Sims. He stayed with her until his death on May 12, 1950 due
to a heart attack.
Sanders died in
Washington, D.C.
in 1950, and is buried in Indiana,
in the
Highland Lawn Cemetery
in
Terre Haute
.
TIMES MAGAZINE Monday, Jan. 26, 1925 (Who after Slemp? The
question was answered at
once, for the same announcement that told of Mr. Slemp's
retirement told of his successor
chosen: Representative Everett Sanders of Terre Haute, Indiana.
When Mr. Coolidge went into
office, he wanted a secretary who knew the ins and outs of the
political game, a man who was at
home in it. He consulted with Senator Curtis, Republican Floor
Leader Longworth, and Speaker
Gillett. They suggested Mr. Slemp of Virginia, who had retired from
Congress shortly before. It
is assumed that Mr. Sanders was chosen rather in the same fashion
and for the same purposes.
Mr. Sanders, who is only 42, is also about to retire from Congress.
He did not stand for re-
election in November, intending to resume his law practice. Unlike
Mr. Slemp, he is not a man of
independent means. He worked his way through college (the
University of Indiana), then got into
law, finally into Congress, where he has been for eight years, an
enthusiastic follower of
Nicholas Longworth and the other Republican leaders. He was
considered as a nominee for Vice
President at the Cleveland Convention but complications in Indiana
politics—where Senator
James Watson was ambitious—overturned his chances.

INFO ON THE HONORABLE BAINBRIDGE COLBY
Up for auction are the items shown in the scans.
The Honorable Bainbridge Colby- (Woodrow Wilsons last Secretary of State and Mark Twains lawyer, as well as the man who ratified the 19th amendment which gave woman the right to vote !!!, I have seen on the net that Mr. Colbys autograph alone has sold for between .00 and .00. And since carbon relies of the era did not come with signatures I have decided to add a check and signature so as to add a direct provenance to your acquisition. . He was a gentleman who helped shape the U.S. Political foreign affairs during the 1920's - 1940's. I grew up in his hometown and the caretaker for the family estate called Little Brook Farm, at Sunset Bay, near Bemus Point. The Colby family farms caretaker after Mr. Colby’s death in 1950 and Mrs. Colby’s death in 1963 was my Sunday school teacher (Mr Sydney Taylor) in the Maple Springs Interdenominational church from when I moved there in 1964 until his death in 1967. Us kids would walk Mr. Taylor home several miles each Sunday after church through the beautiful woods that later became Long State Park after Mr. Taylor passed away and we would help him in his duties of cleaning up the property and my father would haul the truckloads of junk we piled up every few weeks to the Ellery Center Dump which is when I kept a couple small boxes of the stuff and carried around until I began to research it this past two years. I just kick myself now realizing that we must have thrown away several tons of paperwork and old books that were most probably filled with original mark Twain items and other significant words of men and woman’s gifts, books, manuscripts that today would be a treasure of Americana history. I just thank God that Mr. Taylor told me to save the little bit.
