STATE CHAIRMAN ANDREWS.
emulPs Hand Bpsk-A Dashing Bgsi-
ness Man and RiIlingsley Bill Hustler.

no more than 1t tells of other and undistin
gulshed members; not as much as it tells Of
some. 1t simply says:
wv. d. Andrews, Crawford county, was born
IN Youngsville, Warren county, Pa, on Janu-
ary IA, 1872 At an early age he entered on a
commercial career in which he continued until
1851. Mr., Andrews served his party as Chair
man of the Republican County Committee Of
Crawford county for four terms He was SEQ
retary of the Republican State Central Com
mittee during the years 1887 and 1885, was
elected Chairman of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee on April 20, 1888, to serve from
January~l. 1889, to 1890. In politics he has
always been Stalwart Republican"
Only that and nothing more. 1t is very
bare skeleton to elotne with interesting de-
| tails.

Story That Might be Told.
The commercial career that Mr.. Andrews
passes so modestly over (for the members write
| their own biographical sketches for the hand
book) is one that might be woven into busi-
ness romance. There was a time when he did
business ON an immense scale. He handled
large stocks of goods and special trains were
run from every town in Northwestern Penn
! sylvania to his place of business. His opera
ttops were conducted in dashing and enter
prising manner that Is largely CHARACTERISTIC of
| the oil. regions. But q crash came as crashes
Will often come, and Mr. Andrews business
and fortune were swept away.
His career in Crawford county politics is not
/ less interesting. His efforts to land DR.. Rob
erts IN Congress were heroic, but failed This

Senate admitted by the Standard people in
