Mr.. Charles T. Logan,
Editor Palisadian,
Palisade, N. ].
Dear Sir
Your letter of the 5th inst, was duly
received.
The minutes of the Associations
meeting of August 3Ist having still to
be read and approved, | determined to
wait to reply until such minutes were
read and approved, as when that was
done it would render it unnecessary
that I should personally and at length
point out wherein your report of said
meeting was in part contrary to the
facts and in part without warrant of
facts.
Such minutes having been last night
read and approved at the regular meet
ing of the Association, it has now been
demonstrated that the report you wrote
and published was wholly untrue IN
stating three separate times that the
President (myself) had said or done
this or that bitterly, that upon the con-
trary he had been most courteous to the
Editor of the Palisadian (Mr. Logan
in his remarks and rulings SO that you
had no cause of complaint aside from
having failed to secure the vote as you
desired, and it has further been demon
strated that your statement in the Pals
adam that the President left the meet
ing in a decided state of displeasure,
was unwarranted; that your published
statement that the President bitterly op-
posed a motion to give the Committee
of Seventeen full power is incorrect in
that he did not oppose such motion and
it was unanimously carried, without any
opposition whatever; that your report
in so far as it indicates that business of
the Association was done or motions
were put or carried after the President
invited the editor of the Palisadian to
take the chair is incorrect except that a
motion was Immediately thereafter duly
made to adjourn and that such motion
was corried.
AS so much has now been demon
strated by the approval of the Associa-
ton of full and accurate minutes of the
meeting, | now request, as invited in
your letter of the 9Th, that you publish
this letter in the next issue of the Pals
adam in correction of the report of
said meeting published in the last issue
of the Pa1isadian.
Yours truly,

Mr.. Charles T. Logan,
Palisade, N. J,
Dear Sir:
AS President of the Taxpayers Asso-
citation of Palisade l have read with
some surprise in the last Palisadian
under the heading Taxpayers Asso-
cation Affairs" statements that are un-
true.
Did you write this article?
Perhaps your memory was at fault or
Won received some different impression
from others or believed things occurred
so that your report is the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth; ;
for I recall your having made some
such defense when statements made by
YOU in the Palisadian have been shown
by preponderance of evidence and tes-
timony to have been unjustihed by the
facts.
While I have perfectly well understood
that the attitude of opposition which
YOU have elected to assume toward the
President of the Taxpayers Association
openly and secretly has made 1t impos-
sible for you to report matters, meetings
or events fairly in your paper, that you
must make it an organ to reflect your
views and attempt to win supporters
thereto and therein represent yourself
in as favorable a light as possible by
writing your reports of various meetings
with that end in view, inasmuch as you
were fighting a losing fight and / was
satisfied from reports that the people
generally read the Palisadian with a
like understanding and, in spirit of
fair pla,, condemned even if they could
make excuses for you, | have been con-
tent to ignore your course.
However, others think it time to in
sist that you at least report our meetings
fairly and that as President, if not per-
sonally, should act.
Although toward me personally l
have noted, as do others, a personal
feeling on your part toward me in your
suppression of this and that in the way
you ICpOll LlCCl4IISS VI Liz SOlAlSSeiOAi
in which you use my name from time
to time, even misspelling it when you
know better and have regarded it as a
petty meanness apparent to all, as |
have been informed, as to myself, this
is no way to influence me in my insist
ing as l do upon, true and correct re-
ports of the meetings of our associa-
ton as to the acts or words of the
president at a meeting.
In the report to which | refer there
is matter libelous per Sc within it refers
to the President
Perhaps you are willing to publish a
full report and correct report of the
meetings with explanations of the errors
in your prior report.
If so, you should promptly inform me-
Yours truly,
