hardest kind Of manual labor for wages aggre-
eating only $50 a year Later he worked his
way through college. and afterward taught
school 1t not until he embarked in busi-
ness for himself that his capacity for affairs
became manifest. His first two ventures were
unfortunate. but in 1866 he founded a new
business in the manufacture of certain pharma-
ceutical preparations, and from that time his
career has been one Of uninterrupted success.
In 1869 he settled in Yonkers and established a
factory which has since become one of the
prominent business enterprises Of the city. His
management Of the large concerns IN which he
IS interested has been productive Of the best
possible results and he is now a man Of large
wealth
Mr.. Andrus is q man Of democratic habits.
who takes q deep interest in the affairs Of the
working people. AS an employer Of labor he is
Just liberal and considerate. Those whom Mr..
Andrus employs say that he is the model of
what an employer should be-a man who ap-
preciates good work, rewards talent and is con-
siderate to those who are in trouble. They add
that Nj. Andrus pays full wages TO his en-
ployes for every legal holiday throughout the
year that he continues the wages of those who
are Ill through the entire period of their en-
forced idleness and that there has never been a
strike in any Of his factories even in times Of
the greatest business depression

cess has not been remarkable.
The Republicans certain that, notwith-
standing the personality of the Democratic
candidate thoughtful citizens who have the
true interests of Yonkers in view will vote for
Mr. Andrus irrespective of party The rea-
sons they give are because under Republican
rule Yonkers point TO a record OF develop
ment in the line of public improvements ac-
cornpanied by a judicious economy in expendi-
ture: because the public school system has been
extended: because the streets have been much
improved; because public baths have been estab-
lshed; because public parks and a pubic pier
and recreation pavilion have been acquired, AND
because q crematory and public scales nave
been set up-aH this without a material IN
crease in the bonded debt OF the city and with
an actual decrease in the tax rate They say
further that Mr.. Andrus is a man OF liberal
views and great executive ability. VINO can pe

The local Democratic press is making attacks
the character of Mr.. Andrus. He Is repre-
sented as being hard man and an uncharitaole
man. Thes friends Of MI Andrus, however
have had no difficulty in refuting these state
ments In fact the assaults against Mr.. An

Never in the history Of Yonkers has there
been more active local election campaign than
the one now in progress. so far as the Repub-
lican organization is concerned. Never has the
party been more solidly united in support of

Present contest From many quarters come re-
ports Of Democrats openly declaring for John
E Andrus The vigorous and judicious work
OF the campaign committee under the leader
ship OF Mayor Leslie Sutherland, is producing
tie most encouraging results.
