The work or removing the unfortunate
ward of the cttr frum the old ram-

By noon two-third of tbr entire num

done without a fatality, and. more, than
that, without a cetbick to a elnKla caf.

COWHERD IS HAMED
AS A CANDIDATE
Friends of Former Kansas City
Congressman Suggest Him as
Gubernatorial Possibilitj Par
ty Activity Urged.
Reports of a well-defined boom in West
ern MV-ourl for William S. Cowherd of
Kar.si Citt for the Democratic nomina
tion for Governor, have Altered Into St.
I.u'.. fr-m various sections of the State.
In the l.it few days.
There t quUe a psrty of Democratic
politician from the counti- adjacent to
the western border at the Ijclede jes
SirJay. and several times, in the courxe
f conveiatlon. the nime of the Kansas
City Congressman, who va caught In
the late unpleasaiitnesu. was heard men
tioned for the gubernatorial nomination.
It 1 said that should Mr. Cowherd for
mally enter the race he win have united
behind bin all cf the element within the
party In Kansas City and Jackson Coun
t. and that his candidacy would be satis
factory to both the friend of Jimes A.
Reii. throuchout the we-t-rn part of the
State, and alfo to the Folk men tn that
section.
Mr Cowherd's frlcr.ds are saving that

It Is also asserted that Republican poli
ticians are quietly planning to prent At
torney General Hetl-ert S Hadiey as an
asidraiit for the U.-puMican nomination,
and that. In ufh a case, the candidacy
of former Congressman Cowhfrd l alt tb
more re.isonable. and makes htm all the
more a logical candidate.
A prom'.mnt iJemocrat. at th Lac!ede
eterday said;
"It Is entirely too early to discuss the
candidates on the State ticket, but, all
the same. In my section of the State we
want to see lt:n Cowherd nominated. He
could heal any party differences, and we
of Western Missouri expect to see htm cut
consljerabl- ice when It consts time to
make the nominations."
rnKPARlNG FOR CAMPAIGN.
While there Is little talk of a pefsr.il
nature, as to :uJtr or candidate, among
the Democratic politicians who drop into
St. laiuls. there seem to b a general feej.
Ing that It is not too early for the party
to begin active operation lookltic toward
preparation fcr the next congrrsslonal an J
