	TN Encyclopedia: WILLIAM GIBBS MCADOO
		William Gibbs McAdoo, a leading figure in American politics in the early twentieth century, began his political career in Chattanooga in the 1880s.

	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.

	William Gibbs McAdoo Summary
		The son of a southern jurist, William Gibbs McAdoo was born near Marietta, Ga., and educated at the University of Tennessee.
		McAdoo would probably have won the nomination in 1924, also, but he was linked indirectly to the Teapot Dome scandal (though not involved in the scandal itself) and had committed certain professional improprieties.
		McAdoo once famously said that the speeches of President Warren Harding "leave the impression of an army of pompous phrases moving over the landscape in search of an idea; sometimes these meandering words would actually capture a straggling thought and bear it triumphantly, a prisoner in their midst, until it died of servitude and overwork."

	Letter to George W. Gibbs
		I obtained from Daniel Gibbs, in Knox County a German manuscript in pamphlet form containing in your father's handwriting a record of his own birth, birthplace, etc. and of the births of his children.
		It also contains a record of the birth of a 'Mary Gibbs' in 1745, who may have been his sister, as Aunt Snodderly and Uncle Daniel Gibbs both remember hearing his speak of having two sisters, Mary and Catherine; or she may have been his wife, as I believe your mother's name was Mary.
		Daniel Gibbs remembers of hearing him frequently saying of hearing your father say, -- I mean -- that he was named after his father; though your father's name appears once written in the German manuscript as John Nicholas Gibbs.

		This article focuses on the book "McAdoo: The Man and His Times, a Panorama in Democracy," written by Mary Synon.
		The unforeseen ramifications of the oleaginous archaeology initiated by U.S. Senator Robert Marion La Follette and others seem likely to have converted this book, intended as a prompt and opportune campaign biography, into a political obituary.
		Synon confines herself almost entirely to an account of U.S. Senator William Gibbs McAdoo's activities as secretary of the treasury.

	Political Cartoons
		From the outset, the new President Coolidge was closely watched by a political opposition ready and anxious to take advantage of any development or circumstance by which he might possibly lose popularity.
		Here, William Gibbs McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury and regarded in 1924 as a leading contender for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency, is shown, lifesaver in hand, following along side of Mr.
		Coolidge, "Standing By for the Rescue in Case His Foot should Slip." Coolidge is carrying the Public Favor, a woman, and if he drops her, McAdoo will rescue her!
