	William G. McAdoo and the Hudson Tubes
		McAdoo was called urgently from his desk by Chief Engineer Jacobs when the two shields met, and he, followed by a procession led by Jacobs, walked from New Jersey via the tube, through the doors of the two shields, to New York.
		McAdoo gathered his employees together in one of the stations and outlined his reactionary policy for running a transit system-a policy which, while making him a hero in the eyes of the public and the press, was never followed as closely by any other railroad in the United States.
		McAdoo's policy of "the public be pleased" was a tremendous factor in his personal success in running the HandM, and was the primary factor in the popularity of the line.

		He was prominent as a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1920, and in 1924 the supporters of McAdoo and the adherents of Alfred E. Smith balanced each other and forced the choice of a compromise candidate.

	Program in Maritime Studies: Abstracts
		Wilson and Secretary of the Treasury, William G. McAdoo held that if government money was to be invested, the government should have a voice in how it was used.
		The idea of a government owned and operated foreign trade fleet was able to exist because of the preceding forty years of Progressive legislation and the feeble, unresponsive state of the American merchant marine dictated immediate remedy.
		McAdoo took the philosophy a step further by proposing direct government involvement to regulate an industry, instead of government involvement through legislative regulation alone.
