RICHARDS A SELF MADE MAN Bora on a Farm He Has Since Risen To Prominence In Essex fcwaty Walter W. Richards, of riconder- oga, N. Y., candidate for Senator from the 33rd Senatorial District, on the Progressive ticket, was bom at Holland Patent, N. Y., Oct. 10, I860. Mr. Richards' early years were spent on the farm, where, as a poor ooyj he learned the lesson of hard work and of appreciation of the con- ditions that confront those who are called upon to do with ther hands the necessary work of this country. Tins explains the support that he receives from laboring men and their repres- entatives in his own town and county, where he is best known. His early training taught him also that the farmers of this country, who constitute the backbone of the naton, have never received the consideration in our legislative halls to which their importance as producers entitles tfeem. After leaving home Mr. Richards became the private secretary of the late Hon. Henry G. Burleigh, Con- gressman from the Washington and Rensselaer Distrct, and head of the large transportation business of H. G. Burleigh & Bro. on Lake Champlain anj the Hudson River. This valuable connection from an educational standpoint gave Mr. Rich- ards not only an unusually clear in- iight into the intricaces of Legislative procedure, but also important first- hand information as to the transpor- tation needs of the. Hudson River and Champlain District, which will be in- valuable to him and his constituents in the Senate at Albany. The great prosperity of this section, in Mr. Richards' judgment, it not en- tirely bound up in securing additional good roads, important though this phase undoubtedly is but in securing cheaper transportation rates on the necessities of life for the people of his district, through the development at once of the natural waterways of this seeton Following this line of work W. W. Richards was connected with the Cus- toms House at Rouses Point as Dep- uty Collector under General Moffatt, Collector of the Port, where he had full opportunity to study the tariff question and continue his research j nto the needs of transportation. In 1894 Mr. Richards located at Ti- conderoga, where he engaged in the business of shipping and handling coal. In this business it did not take long for him to grasp the fact that this entire section was as it is, in control of a monopoly so absolute that nothing short of State and National regulation offers any help to the coal consumers of the Champlain Valley against the Bi-Partisan political and business combine that controls this vital necessity to our people. Mr. Richards has been actively con- nected with Ticonderoga's banking in- terests for nearly twenty years, and for twelve years the cashier of the Ti- conderoga Bank, which, under his management, has become one of the strongest financial institutions in the State or Nation outside of the large cities. With broad interests and a keen analytical mind, Mr. Rchards has been in close touch all his life with the big problems that are now in many in- stances pressing for intellgent solu- tion in the interest of the people as a whole and it is to this task that Mr. Rchards will, if elected, devote the rare judgment and practical common sense that have matured in the active business life that he has lead.

Sam caught sight of brother Potter and cried, \Shoot if you must, old bruin's head, but release me quick or I am dead.\ Potter replied, ••impossible, I lost my gun in hurry- ing- to your rescue.\ The bear, hear- ing the sound, at once started for the now thoroughly frightened Potter.

The chaperone at this time arrived on j the scene, having been attracted by these unusual noises. Taking in the situation at a glance and being alarm- ed for the safety of Potter and Dash-, naw his nerve failed him and although | he raised his gun to his shoulder his j trembling arms and shaking body placed his friends in more danger from the flying bullets than he did the bear. All seemed lost, as the stay- j ing powers of Dashnaw were on the j point of breaking, victory for the bear I seemed certain. As our brave Sam ! saw the hopelessness of the situation, | he started down the tree crying, \Boys ! are lost, but 1 shall die with you.\ Sheriff Knowlton stepped into the •learing and with one well directed shot from his trusty rifle, slew in in his tracks.
