\"TRUTH" ERRING AGAIN.

\"TRUTH" ERRING AGAIN.
WiA~1pologies TO the readers Of the
D8ereA News for referring again to a
publication printed In this city which
many OF them may think unnecessary
TO notice, we feel II our duty TO reply
again to the attempts of that paper to
place the Deseret News I'm false light
before the Salt Lake public.
In the issue Of that paper OF Novem-
Der II an article appears on the first
page entitled Dessert News and Church
influence which says
Last Monday the News devoted con-
siderable space to calling Truth liar,
and IN attempting 10 explain away the
allegations OF Truth that the News IA
vored the Democratic party IN the re-
cent election etc.
Reference to the News Of that date
will show to the reader that the
News" did not devote any space TO
calling Truth liar" and did not use
that word OF any epithet Of a similar
character In the editorial In question
we showed the utter falsity of the state
ments that appeared in Truth" and
In regard TO the principal charge en-
deavored TO show the probable reason
why Truth" fell into "the error in
relation TO this matter. So much for
the opening untruth in the Truth" ar
tlcle.
The article printed In Truth on
Saturday, November If, 10 which we re-
piled, made the following statement:
by COLLISION between the managers
OF the Democratic campaign and the
editors OF the Deseret News, a scheme
was put up. A circular was written and
signed by the chairman OF the Demo-
cratic committee and two paragraphs
signed Editor Deseret News were also
written and appended TO the Democratic
chalrman's circular These sheets with
Ahe News editors statement and the
statement OF the chairman OF the DEM
ocratic committee We're set In type and
run off In thousands from the Deseret
News press. The type OF the News
3
to the forms OF that paper and appear
ed In the News OF Monday evening.
These circulars were delivered stimuli
taneously with the Deseret News by the
Deseret News Carriers
This charge was repeated and EN-
phaszed by the article In Truth in
this way, a.
"a circular was written and signed
by the Chairman OF the Democratic
committee and two parag graphs signed
Editor Deseret News were also written
and appended to the Democratic chair
mans circular These sheets with the
News editors statement and the state
ment OF the chairman Of the Demo-
cratic committee were set IN type and
run of In thousands by the Deseret
News press. The type OF the News
statement was then transferred TO the
forms OF that paper and appeared in
the News Of Monday evening"
To these assertions We made the fol-
lowing answer; ut is difficult to sup
press the feelings OF indignation which
naturally arise when such fragrant
falsehoods are printed In publication
calling itself Truth The statement Is
untrue from beginning to end The cir
cuar referred to was not printed at
the Deseret News office 1t was not
printed anywhere, until long after the
latest edition Of Mondays News and
the Semi-WeeAy had been printed and
circulated. The News carriers did not
distribute the circular. The editor OF
the News never saw one Of those cir
culars until this present time Of writ
ing, Monday. November 49, 1905, when 1t
came to his desk In an envelope ad-
dressed TO him. II was utterly impos-
slble for them to be printed, as asserted
by Truth and transferred to the
columns Of the 'Ncws That which
appeared in the News OF Monday exc
ming was not written until the editors
return from the north In the afternoon
and did not appear In the first edition
for that very reason.
"The error In relation to this matter
probably arose from the printing by
the Deseret News Job press OF a small
dodger, bearing no resemblance to In,
circular referred to. and containing
nothing OF that which appeared IN the
Deseret News. We learn from the cir
culator, Mr. Dunbar, that the News
carriers had been requested to clrculat,
those dodgers, but that he positively
forbade them to put one inside the pa
per. II Is possible that the writer o
the article in Truth confused tn,
dodger with the circular. and hence III,
blunder into which he has fallen"
The writer Of the uuruths exposed
in the foregoing paragraphs now re
turns to the charge. and not only re
reats the falsehoods which were direct
~ denied by this paper, and the untrutl
NJ which can easily be verified at thi
office by any one who desires 10 kno,
the facts, but in a cunning and ma
llclous manner takes a twist upon IN
word "dodger," which describes a sma
handful having noNTetercnce whateve
10 the circular implanted OF, an
makes this further untruthful allega
ton:
Early in the afternoon Of the da
Of election Mr. Martlneau got out
circular letter or dodger as the New
very appropriately calls II, falsely stat
