Certainly Short, but the Incident

When Governor McCray and others
boarded an interurban to visit the

they found the car already we'll filed.
The governor sat down by small
boy from Fortville and a moment
later asked him to exchange seats
with another member of the party 80
that they could continue a conversa-
tion. Shortly afterward the lads
seatmate disclosed to the boy that it
was the governor he had accommo-
dated.
The incident made an impression
and when the boy reached home he
boasted to his father that he had seen
the governor and had spoken to him.

ticaIly, "and what did the governor
say to yOu?"
