Mr.. Bryan is q candidate for the Demo-

In our talk we didn't discuss that mat

course, if the situation develops a stronger

had been patched IN.
None Of Mr. Hearst's friends was ready
TO speak for him on this matter. but it
was learned that there is still a very pro-

people against Mr. Bryan, because in 1904
Mr. Bryan was not a candidate for the
Presidency. while Mr.. Hearst was. and
Mr.. BRYAN, instead of then requitting the
political loyalty of Mr. Hearst in the two
campaigns, went on the platform and sec

sEEpMEN AND NEW LAWS
Iowa Men Are Experiencing a Radica
Chanae-WiIl Be Big Expense.


Special to Times Republican.
| Council Bluffs. July 6.--sSeed men in
Iowa are among other tradesmen who
are experiencing the sensation of new
! laws as they operate on the business
band in their case find radical change
will have to be made to conform TO the
| new law.
Speaking of the matter today, Oscar
! O. Younkerman of the Younkerman
Seed Company, said: The law re-
quires a. tag on every bag of
seeds ethat is sold with the ex-
ceptior OF. garden seed. The reason
! garden seedn was not included is evil
| IDENTIFY because the farmers In the leg
isiature were looking out pretty closely
for their own interests and didn't think
of the market gardeners. Garden
seeds are likely. however, to be pretty
pure whether there Is law or not.
The law is going to require consid-
cradle expense. We have been selling
unc'ean seeds in the past because they
were sold to us by the farmers without
having been cleaned Now we shall
have to put in expensive machinery for
cleaning the seeds. For instance, we
cleaner early next fall. OF course we
could label our sacks. this seed con-
taias 5 per cent foxtail.' and so on, If
We shed. but this would prevent peo
pie from buying, even tho they had al
ways used seed that contained foxtail
and other weeds. Then, besides, we
should have to have the seeds exam
ined TO see how much impurity they
contained, and that would cost about
as much as cleaning them.
There is one thing that even clean
ing VIII not accomplish, and that is the
removal of bad seeds In order to get
at this. VIC shall simply have TO inspect
that IS bad and state it on the label
''Gron .ho whole, however, | believe
We shah he we'll satisfied with new law
when We get into the habit of carrying
out its provisions. 1t will be beneficial
to large seedsmen because the smaller
dealers Will not want to pay the ex-
panse Of cleaning their seed and hav-
ing 1T anaiyzed The field will thus be
| largely left to the larger wholesale
| firms in the business
