Some time ago I wrote you a letter with regard to charges I had made against the Associated Press. I asked you to consider these charges and lay them before your readers, and give them an opportunity to decide of their truth. Not hearing from you, I wrote a second time, to ask you to do me the courtesy to let me know your intentions in the matter.

You, having the Associated Press service, have not a word about it. And this is a vital and most important piece of news. I then went on to tell about the “Evening Post” and its promise to investigate. I said:
