Chairman Adams of
Republican Nat. Com.
Is a Self-Made Man

Dubuque, Iowa, June 27-John r.
a dams, the recently elected chairman
of the Republican National Commit
tee. like many other national leaders
is a self made man.
In 1881 Johnny" Adams, as he was
then known, started to work for a
Dubuque door and sash company at
SO week. His promotion was rapid,
and since 1900 he has been president
of the company which is now re-
garded as one of the largest of the
kind in the country
Since early manhood Adams has
taken an unusual interest in COM
| munity affairs. One of the first
community projects to attract his at
tention was a city mission organized
by the Dubuque Congressional
church. Later, for several years. he
I was president of the city's general
hospital
School affairs of Dubuque always
have attracted the attention of Mr.
Adams. He served several terms as
/ member Of the local school board.
During the war he was a member
of the state council of defense. and
was active in Red Cross and other
drives for funds.
His interest in American politics is
believed to have been inherited from
| his father who was an American of
old stock. The father practiced Law
in Massachusetts,, and was a member
of the legislature of that state at the
time Daniel Webster was a member
| of the state senate. His ancestors on
his mothers side come from New
Hampshire where they lived for sew
eral generations
The family moved to Dubuque in
1852. John 7. Adams graduated from
the Dubuque high school in 1881. His
education since then has been ac-
quired by constant reading. His
private library at his beautiful home
here is regarded as one of the most
complete in Iowa. Mr.. Adams is 9
student of modern languages anC
reads Franch and German almost az
fuently as English.
Mr.. Adams first attracted attention
in politics in 1908 when he was Sc
lected to conduct the primary cam
paign in Iowa. In 1912 he managed
the Taft campaign in this state. In
the same year he was elected nation
al committeeman from Iowa He was
reelected national committeeman In
