...Bellefourche went the President and Mrs. Coolidge, sat in a box with Senator & Mrs. Peter Norbeck, saw the rodeo. They saw 13 steers bulldogged. In bulldogging, the cowboy gallops up to the steer, seizes its horns, slides from his horse and throws the steer on its side by leverage on its horns. Mrs. Coolidge looked away as a steer bulldogged by one Nowata Slim of Oklahoma broke its leg, was shot, dragged...
...Readers of the many words written about the President's vacation at Custer Park might, until last week, have almost concluded that South Dakota sent only one Senator to the U. S. Senate. Thousands of U. S. citizens who previously had hardly heard of Senator Peter Norbeck found his name an almost daily feature in South Dakota despatches.

The State Lodge has, indeed, been located...
Farsighted politicians predicted that if Senator McMaster tried to secure the South Dakota presidential nominating delegation for one-time (1917-21) Governor Lowden of Illinois or for Senator George W.

He does not mention the Red Cloud war. Nor does he mention the solemn treaties the Government made at different times with the Indians and then violated foully. Nor does...
...special crossed South Dakota, the state turned into a 400-mile-long cheering section. Farmers stood in fields of young, ankle-high corn, forgot mortgages and vetoes, cheered. Townspeople gathered at railroad stations; in their hands were hats and flowers; in their hearts were peace and goodwill. Senator Peter Norbeck of South Dakota, long an insurgent, exclaimed, "We will not go into past regrets." Representative Charles A. Christopherson, farm-relief advocate, announced that all doubt concerning a third term had been swept away. The President made no speeches, no promises, receded not an inch from the posi-tion he took...
