THE "rHREE cs';.
Cowherd, Cave and Crittenden
Enjoy a College Chat on
the G. q A. Train.

Correspondence Of the Ledger
Jefferson City, NO., June l5.-In
swinging around the state In quest Of
votes the candidates encounter many
interesting and sometimes peculiar
experiences. A meeting on q Chicago
s. Alton train as 1t sped from Boone
to Audrsin county one night last
week, afforded particular pleasure to
W. s. Cowherd, Of Kansas City, mi Of
the six Democrats who aspires to the
governorship.
Mr.. Cowherd, as he has not hesitat-
ed recently to acclaim, was graduated
from the state university. He admits
that he was an enthusiastic ''rahl rah!
lad" in his university days, a crack
%outtielder on the college ball team,
and not aversed to participating in in
nocent devilment.
The candidates two most intimate
chums at Columbia we're Houston
Orittenden, son Of former Governor
O~rittenden, and a brother Of Kansas
Oity's present mayor, and e. s. Cave,
now a well known physician Of Mexico,
and chairman Of the Audrain County
Democratic Central Committee. The
three had not been together since
they left school until they met on the
train the other night.
We we're called the three C's at the
university" said Mr.. Cowherd, "be-
cause we were inseparable compan-
ions."
The campaign was forgotten mo-
mentarily while the three friends re-
called school day pranks, their laugh
ter attracting the attention Of other
passengers, several of whom gathered
around the trio to hear the yarns.
1t was during Gov. Crittcnden's ad-
ministration that the three C's''
we're at Columbia. Cowherd and Gave
were many times guests at the execu-
tive mansion at Jefferson City.
"By the way, VIII, when you are
elected, Gave and l will move down to
Jefferson City" said MI. Orittenden.
1--WE won't ask your permission; we
will just take possession Of my old
room on the third floor Of the mansion
and when you want to seek surcease
from the worries Of your Office you can
come bounding up to the old room as
you used to do and we'll have the
same good times we had then"
"All right" laughed the guberna'
torial candidate. "When / am In.
jected into Office you can have your
old room back, Grit. l want both Of
you fellows at the inaugural ball, too
don't forget that"
"Mexicol" shouted the train porter.
and the trio left the train. Theil
laughter could be heard as they climb
ed into a cab while the train pulled
out for st. Louis.
