Four days after being elected President, Coolidge sends thanks for support.

In full: "I know that I have your best wishes as I have had your hearty and effective support, but it is good, nevertheless, to receive a word from you. I am most grateful to you for this message." Calvin Coolidge, who succeeded to the Presidency upon the death of President Harding, was elected President for a full four-year term fifteen months later, on November 4, 1924.

Progressive Party candidate Robert LaFollette received 4.8 million popular votes and Wisconsin's 13 electoral votes.
