Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"I haven't been able to reach any decision about appointing an Attorney General."

"At the present time they are getting on remarkably well, but if some means could be provided by which the Governor could be elected by the people of Porto Rico, it would eliminate that difficulty."

"That duty is not all performed at the present time."

"The fundamental question there is a question of administration, and it is the difficulty of having an elective legislature and a Governor that serves by reason of appointment from here."
