DEADWOOD DAILY TELEGRAM VOLUME XVI, NO. 85. DEADWOOD, SOUTH DAKOTA SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922. OITY OFFICIAL PAPER INDICATIONS THAT LLOYD GEORGE HAS BACKED OPPONENTS DOWN THREATENED RESIGN UNLESS ASSURED OF LOYAL SUPPORT LONDON, March are that Lloyd-George has won his fight with opponents in the coalition government, and will continue to be premier. It is understood that he gave notice that unless he received assurances shortly of loyal support of the other factions in the coalition government, that he would resign and let the issue go to the people.

Today Sir George Younger, one of his most bitter opponents, in an interview expressed regret that his speeches had been taken as attacks upon the premier. If he is correctly reported this constitutes a com- MEETING LAST NIGHT AT METHODIST CHURCH All who were present at the Methodist church last night were once again privileged to listen to another splendid gospel message by Evangelist Sturgeon. The interest manifested in these meetings is already marked and both pastor and people are hopeful and confident that great good will be accomplished. The services of the Sabbath are looked forward with much expectation. The Evangelist has promised two great messages for that day and as the crowd has steadily increased since the opening night the banner audience is expected that day.

For more than an hour last evening a good sized audience paid close and respectful attention to the minister as he preached a sermon from a text found in the 1st book of Corinthians the 13th chapter and part' of the 8th verse; "Charity never Among other things he said: "The love of Christ is far superior to all other love. He loves when others condemn and His love is unceasing." "We love a man while he continues to prosper in a financial way but. if thru some circumstance in his lifer he is no longer able to keep the pace with us how easy it seems to be for. many to pass him by and forget the lowlier associations of other days. "Not so Christ.

When once He loves; a fellow; He loves him until the end. We are apt to love another while he continues to walk and live as we think he should but it is thru the stress of some temptation he falls by the way how natural it is for some to forget him and with Pharasafc contempt and disdain in our hearts thank God" we are not as other men Not 80 Christ, Some how He knows and realizes that because of this mans weakness He stands all the more in need of His Divine Grace and aid and how willingly and readily He gives it. He loves us thru evil as well as good report, "Make no mistakes about it, there are great armies of folks outside our churches today who would 1 be inside with us if we would manifest a little more Christlike love and sympathy toward them." "Oh, how many noble hearts there are all around us whose lives seem to be one continuous struggle against sin and unless the love of Christ in human form reaches their hearts, they must perish." Here the speaker gave many fine illustrations drawn from his owning personal observations and experience of years, proving that there are still millions of diamonds in the rough and all that is needed to make them Christian men and women, is the touch of a kindly hand, At the close of his earnest appeal the evangelist gave an invitation for all who wished to re-consecrate themselves for service and about thirty-five immediately responded. The singing again had a prominent part in the service the choir rendering a beautiful hymn entitled: I get to the end of the A large crowd is looked for night. I GOVERNOR M' MASTER IN PRIMARY CAMPAIGN HURON, S.

March W. H. McMaster took the stump against George Egan at Centerville where he made the opening speech of the campaign before a large audience. While the Governor has done some desultory speaking in the past few weeks the Centerville meeting marked the actual start of the Governor's campaign. The same day the Governor spoke at Beresford, on nesday at Hurley and Parker, and on Thursday at Marion and Bridgeto water.

Friday Governor McMaster spoke at Menno and Springfield closing the week Saturday with a talk at Elk Point. George W. Wright, state chairman today announced the Governor's itiof nerary for the next week, subject to change, as follows: Hudson in the afternoon and Canton in the evening of Monday March 6th; Dell Rapids and Flandreau evening of Tuesday March 7th; Colman afternoon and Madison evening of Wednesday March 8th; Ramona afternoon and Howard evening of Thursday, March 9th; Carthage afternoon and Iroquois evening of Friday March 10th, closing the week with a beg meeting at Huron on Saturday night. In his opening talks of this week Governor McMaster did not dodge the issue raised by George Egan, at Centerville and Beresford he took the McDougall loan case by the horns and showed three affidavits from prominent citizens of Britton, declaring the property which Egan said was worth only $3,000 to be worth $12,000. He then made it plain that under the law the Land oan Department is authorized to make a loan equal to ninety per cent of the collateral when the money goes to a former soldier.

He discussed the State Game Lodge, saying that the Lodge was built at a cost of $25,000 instead of $50,000 as claimed by Egan and his organs; that a contract had been let for a new lodge at a cost of $20,000 instead of $100,000 as claimed by Egan and his organs; and remarked that there was no fire insurance on the lodge for the simple reason that several years ago the legislature eral years ago the state legislature voted for the state to carry its own insurance and save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in premiums in that way. The Governor shot a barb into Mr. Egan personally when he remarked: "Of course Mr. Egan is a great believer in fire insurance, he probably would have insured a $25,000 building for $50,000. He discussed the tax situation at length and then took up to Soldier Banus proposition which has been the subject of charge and innuendo on the part of Egan and his organs for many weeks.

He denied that the Bonus Board money had been deposited in any bank for the purpose of holding up the bonus and paid this tribute to the Board and its work: that Minnesota has employed 385 employees and appropriated 000 for the administration of her bonus work while South Dakota has employed never more than 22 employees and has expended $38,000 for administration of the bonus pay. ments. He said that it was true that Minnesota far outnumbered those in South 'Dakota but that the proportions were all in favor of South Dakota. AN AUTO ACCIDENT WITHOUT SERIOUS RESULTS Last evening D. M.

McGahey made the trip to Spearfish in his auto, taking half a dozen young boys to see the basket ball games. On the return. trip the car, a Dodge sedan, skidded and went over the bank. It turned over several times ere striking a fence, which it broke thru and kept going until it struck another fence and stopped. All remained within the car during its revolutions, and were in scrambled condition, when the car finally lodged on its side and permitted them to clamber out.

No one received any more serious injuries than bad bruises, being protected by the enclosed top. The car was damaged considerable but with assistance from passersby in making repairs, was able to come home on its own gas. EDAMOH I RECORO OF REPUBLICAN CONGRESS THE PAST YEAR (By Lawrence Martin, United Press Staff Correspondent.) -The close of Harding's first year as President today found members of Congress conning the legislative record made in that time with peculiar intentness, for upon that year's record many political careers depend. The year has been in some ways one of the most remarkable in congressional annals. Its most notable development both, legislatively and politically, was the emergence of the agricultural bloc in House and Sen-, ate as an entity.

The influence if this bi-partisan group of Representatives and Senators, speaking and acting for the country's farmers, has been felt not only in purely tural legislation, but along general lines as well, The block stands today as the most formidable "third party" menace to the two major parties, and as the most effective coalition of Republicans and Democrats in congressional history. Harding put the Senate to work the very day he was inaugurated. That special session lasted from March 4th March 15. On April 1 both houses met, and stayed in ses, sion, with a month of recess, until November 23. The second session began on December 5, 1921, and is still at work.

Here, in mrief, is what has been I done since March 4 last: Treaty with Columbia ratified, settling old dispute over Panama Canal land. Knox peace resolution adopted, and treaties of peace with Germany, Austria ad Hungary ratified. Taxes revised, the excess profits tax and other war levies being repealed. Borah resolution for an international disarmament conference adopted. War finance corporation revived, as an aid to farm credits.

Emergency tariff bill passed to aid the farmer. Bills passed to put a "dirt farmer" on the Federal Reserve Board, to prevent grain gambling, and to encourage co-operative marketing by exempting the co-operatives from the anti-trust laws. Emergency immigration law passed. Senator Newberry of Michigan given his seat, and charges of excessive campaign expenditure against him dismissed. The outstanding failures, to date, have been on tariff revision and the soldier bonus.

Both figured in the Republican campaign; The house has passed a tariff bill, but the Senate finance committee had months of trouble with it. Two notable figures in American political life passed from the stage during the year. Senator Philander C. Knox died in October, 1921, and on December 31, his colleague, Senator Boies Penrose passed away. AMBASSADOR HARVEY NOT ASKED TO RESIGN WASHINGTON, D.

March President Harding today authorized official denial of the report that he had asked for the resignation of Col. George Harvey, ambassador to England. AMERICAN LEGION CONTRACTS FOR WORTHAM CARNIVAL The Deadwood and Lead Posts of the American Legion have again tered into contract, as they did last year, to sponsor the coming of the Wortham Carnival shows, with Mr. Lohman, representative of Wortham organization.

The visitation will be for fine days, June 20 to 25. EX-PRESIDENT WILSON'S HEALTH HAS IMPROVED WASHINGTON, D.

FINAL GAME BETWEEN DEADWOOD AND RAPID CITY The final game of the district high school basket ball tournament at Spearfish will be played this evening, between the Deadwood and Rapid City teams.

The second game last night was between Belle Fourche and Rapid City. It was very evenly contested until near the close when Belle Fourche lost its grip and the game ended with score of 36 to 22 in favor of Rapid City. Heacock starred for Rapid City and played a fine game, A large number of students from all the schools witnessed the games last night, the attendance being about 1400. A larger attendance 1 is expected tonight and there will be a big crowd from Deadwood.
