Political Notes.

An offer to wager $1,000 that Richard p
Morris viii receive 1000 more votes than
the Republican nominee for the mayoralty
went without takers yesterday.
A report in circulation yesterday that
somebody wanted to bet 81, 600 that John s
BransfOTd. American candidate for the
mayoraity, would have 1000 more votes
than all the other candidates combined
including the Socialist nominee, caused a
rushing and hustling on Second South
street to find the man with the money.
And some mighty good Americans"
wanted at least a part of the negative
side, too The man with the money
turned out to be an entirely mythical per-
son.
Farley p Jensen decided yesterday that
he would not permit the use of his name
in connection with the Republican record
ership nomination. Mr.. Jensen could have
had the can for the asking, but perhaps
for the reason that the situation contains
few cheerful notes from the standpoint

that his chief counsel is a Democrat and

they might endorse the nomination of
Richard P Morris Although the sugses-
ton opens way out of the difficulty that
confronts them, it is given entirely with

ASHBY SNOW ACCEPTS.
Will Secure Headquarters and Open
Democratic Campaign.

The Democratic campaign will be opened
in earnest within the next few days.
Ashby Snow. the well-known attorney and
party man. who was several days ago
elected chairman Of the city committee
announced yesterday that he would &C
cept the position and make the best fight
in his power for the success of the tick
ct 1t is probable that headquarters viii
be opened in the Commercial block. in the
hig room from which the Commercial Ma
tional bark moved recently.
The proposed headquarters are at the
coTEer of Second South and Commercial
streets. The location is easy OF access
from all parts of the city, and the room
can be puf in shape with but little trouble
or EXPENSE The furniture owned by the
Young Mems Democratic club will be
placed in the Headquarters and everything
made as convenient, comfortable and at
traCtive as possible.
Il believe the Democrats have a splen-
did chance TO win this election" said Mr.
Snow, land l have made all the business
arrangements necessary to enable me to
STAY i'm the fight until the voting is over.
Regardless of what the opposition may
say or think. my own opinion is that the
outlook for Democratic success is first
class. All the reports that have come to
me are most encouraging. Richard p.
Morris will be the next mayor of Salt
Lake City and he will carry the entire
ticket in with him.
He will do this because he is far and
away the best man in the field. Mr.. Nor
ris when IN office before served the peo-
pie faithfully and with distinguished abil-
ity. His record is absolutely above re-
proach and l cannot believe the people
will neglect their opportunity to place
him again at the head of their municipal
affairs
Mr.. Snow has not as yet selected his
secretary, but he said that he had IN
mind a Democrat who would fill the bill
admirably. He hopes to be able to an
Dounce his name today.

MILLIONS or FLOWER AND vscE.

Southern California Has Been Great
Factor In Development Of
Great and Growing
Industry.

Back Of the flowers that bloom In
the spring" IL the great American
seed industry. which supplies the mil
lions of vegetable and flower seeds
to the country. At this time Of the
year they are busy sending out the
orders that have already begun to
come In for next seasons planting.
So far as history records. the first
sale OF seeds In this country was
made at Newport. r. l.. In 1863 by
Nathaniel Bird. a book dealer. who
imported a small quantity OF onion
seed from London. In New York city
hemp and nax seed were advertised
for sale as early as 1865. and garden
seeds In 1776 However. Boston was
the chief seed mart Of the United
States durings the early days. and
there were In business nj the Hub
from half a dozen TO a dozen dealers
who handled seeds exclusively or In
conjunction with other commodities.
Prior TO 1900 practically all the seeds
sold In the United States were i'm
ported from London.

however. the seed Industry began to
assume proportions that justified the
raising OF the seeds nearer home.
From that time forward the city OF
Philadelphia began 10 gain recognition

industry and one OF the pioneers In
the trade was Bernard Mcmahon.

well known not only In Philadelphia.
but throughout the country. During
the next quarter OF a century rather
pretentious seed establishments came
Into existence In Baltimore. Charles
ton. s. c.. and other cities. and a fea-
ture OF she trade at that time was .
considerable demand for Shakers
seeds. These seeds were not only
sold at the regular seed houses. but
were also peddled about the country
IN Shakers wagons.
How the seed industry has expand
ed since the practice OF selling seeds
by mail came into vogue may be ap-
preciated when IL Is explained that 80
years ago the seed firm that received
100 letters per day was esteemed to
be In the food tide of success. where
as at the present time there are In
this country several seed concerns
each OF which receive more than
5000 orders per day during the busy
season. Speaking broadly. the seed
business Is divided into three phases
seed growing. seed testing and seed
selling--and In each OF these oecupa-
tons thousands Of persons are en-
gagged.
