who robs his victims of their mortcy by false pretenses, no better than the "gold bnck' artist
' who fleeces some trusting and unsuspecting acquaintance by shallow fraud. r . f
X By its course in the present campaign the Oregonian has 'placed. itself on a par with

paign,.who will challenge that characterization ? . : t j t'
That deception lies in the Oregonian's false statement of ;the attitude of William J.
Hryan and the Democratic party toward tariff revision. In an editorial published September;

t
weak and meaningless 'tariff plank adopted by the Republican national j, convention. This
plank, which Mr. Bryan has assailed unceasingly, was presented by the Oregonian as embody
ing his views. On another page we reprint that editorial. . ; " ,
On the day following the. publication of this editorial in the Oregonian, 'the chairman of
the local Democratic county central committee wrote to the paper calling attention to the X
fact that the utterance which it had quoted was not Mr. Bryan's but was the statement of' i
the Republican platform. This letter the Oregonian refused to publish. ' ' -
Thereupon The Journal published the letter and called upon the Oregonian to ac-
knowledge that its editorial was wrong. There was no response. The Journal .has reiterated-
its demand from time to time within the past five weeks but' always with the same result- J
silence on the part of the Oregonian. For a time The Journal inclined to the supposition '
that the falsehood might have been the result of crass stupidity or inexcusable ignorance, but
in view of the Oregonian's continued refusal to make correction,, this theory is no longer - J
tenable. '. :'--- f
The Journal now charges nofonly that the Oregonian lied in its editorial of September
14, but that it is deliberately and knowingly persisting in that lie for the purpose of deceiving J
voters as to one of the most important issues of the campaign. And -we may; add that we i
know of no decent newspaper in the United. States that would be guilty of such an act. 5
