Coolidge, 14 December 1920: "Now [that] the election is over I want to express to you my thanks for the work you did as National Committeeman from your State. We have accomplished an unsurpassed victory, which places on us a great responsibility. Elections are won or lost long before election day. Our country has shown a determination to secure a sound American government. The office to which I am chosen is not one of great responsibility but I hope it may be helpful to Senator Harding. We shall need a continuation of that patriotic effort . . . ."
