TO run in an untruth on the people.
The Dobson organ, credits itself with
printing the news Of Col. Bryan's Wis
it to. Akron last Saturday. A careful
examination OF the issue of that date
will prove that this is, untrue. Mon
day, Sept II, the Dobson sheet print
ed clipping, taken from the Column
bus PreSs-Post, giving the proposed
dates for Col Bryan in Ohio. This was
the first line of Democratic news in
regard to Mr.. Bryan's visi: to Akron,
that that paper. controlled 10y the man
without party, has printed.
On the same day. the Democrat con.
tained the following:
"The announcement is made that Mr..
Bryan will speak at Akron on the ev-
ening of Saturday, Oct. 13. So many
rumors have been in circulation con
cerning Mr.. Bryan's movements that
it will be well for Akron people to wait
until the announcement of his Akron
visit is confirmed by the state commit
tee before placing very much Gre
dence in it. But il Mr.. Bryan comes
to Akron, it may he depended upon
that an immense audience will be on
hand to hear him."
SO much for this particular beat
of the Beacon.
Now II word in reference to the
daily occurrence scoops" of Mr.. d.
and his associates. Wednesday even
ing the Dobson paper printed -four
news items. taken from the Democrat
of the preceding day. Not satisfied
with this, it fell back on the Cleveland
Press, taking its fifth item from that
source. The items, stolen from the
Democrat and printed as fresh news
by the r. j., will be found under the
headlines reading as follows: "Are
Almost Ready Back From Alaska
both Oh the first page Looking For
Him." Ton the fifth page and -Four
Akron Horses" in the sporting news.
That lifted from the Press appears in a
