Rapid City boosted itself to be the
Denver of the Black hills, but as
yet played second fiddle to Deadwood,
although it's location made it the logi-

1t was generally believed along
Rapid creek that once the supremacy
of the Sioux was broken there would
be a general exodus from Deadwood
Gulch, and that the city below the
long canyon would benefit thereby.
The hotel did an excellent business in
catering to those passing north and

Another place of varied entertain

proprietor bought gold. Next to the
eating-house was gambling-hall.
This, also, was owned by Calvin.

Bryan Says This Would Obvi-

Scandals

Wa shington. April "A plan to
let the government pay campaign
expenses Of candidates for public
office was brought forward here
today by VIM. Jennings Bryan.
Recalling that President Roose-
welt once suggested some such ar
rangement, Mn Bryan said the
senate disclosures had prepared
the public mind for acceptance OF
the practical details of the plan,
and advocated quick action so it
could be employed in the 1924 cam
paign.
The formal announcements OF
candidates would be placed before
the people under the plan in Il
bulletin issued by the government,
and there would be an additional
appropriation from the federal
treasury amounting to 10 cents per
voter apportioned, among parties,
according to their last recorded
strength
Thus, said Mr.. Bryan. parties
and candidates would be save.l
from "obligating themselves TO the

First or Kind
The conference today was the first
of it's kind held by the President all
though from time to time he has in
vited Senators to confer with him on
measures before the Senate.
During the general discussion on
the legislative session some Sena-

gress would be able to clean up its
work before the convening of the Re-
publican national convention at
Cleveland but others thought this
view too optimistic.
Taxes, farm relief and immigra-
tion were the chief topics touched
on. The executive was told that the
tax measure would be reported to
the Senate next week and in view
of assurances given in the debate
in the Senate yesterday fairly prompt
action was predicted.

there is a disposition to press the
immigration restriction measure in
the near future Some Senators fav-
or bringing it up Immediately but
