A fact from William McFetridge appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 October 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that American trade union leader William McFetridge switched from Democrat to Republican in 1948 and supported Thomas E. Dewey for president even though Dewey had successfully prosecuted his predecessor for labor racketeering?

Don't have cites or dates handy--but it ought to be noted that he was president of the Board of Commissioners of the Chicago Park District and had McFetridge Drive named after him. This is what he is best remembered for in Chicago. ?Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.72.81.52 (talk) 02:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
