Adoo continued his practice of law
in Chattanooga until 1892, when he
moved, bag and baggage. to New
York. He had few friends in the
metropolis. But he had plenty OF
determination. He began again the
practice of law, and after six years
of struggle he met William McAdoo,
formerly police commissioner. and
formed a law partnership with
him. Although of the same name,
they were not related by blood.
The connection was continued until
1903.
Before going to New York. Mr..
McAdoo had married Miss Sarah

done what others had failed to do:
His first political appointment
from a national standpoint was
delegate to the democratic ma
tional convention in Baltimore in
1912. the convention that named
Woodrow Wilson as candidate for
President. It happened that one
of Mr.. McAdoo's sons was at
Princeton while Mr.. Wilson was
president Of that institution. Mr..
McAdoo met the future President
on his visits to Princeton and be-
came interested in him. At Bal
timore he was an earnest support
er of Mr. Wilson's candidacy. Fol-
lowing the nomination he was ap-
pointed vice chairman of the dem
ocratic national committee and
great deal Of the campaign work
fell upon his shoulders.
Mr.. Wilson was elected. He
chose Mr.. McAdoo to head the
Treasury Department and Mr.. Nc
Adoo accepted. Criticisms of the
appointment were not lacking.
Those enemies whom Mr.. McAdoo
had made while he was building
