Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"I think it would be better for the men who have charge of that, I mean Senator Pomerene and Mr. Roberts, to assume responsibility for giving out information."

"They are public officers, appointed under statutory provision and confirmed by the Senate, and that resolution or statute gives them full authority to prosecute these cases."

"I don't recall that any report of that kind ever came to me."

"I don't know of any effect, either favorable or adverse."
