1359 - L May 23; ed: 2/1 - Everybody in the west is asking why Craig, of
the New York Associated Press, allowed the forged proclamation to be
telegraphed without a denial of its authenticity. Craig knew it was
false at the time, and his efforts to lay the blame on special Washing-
ton correspondents of western newspapers is ineffectual.
"Mr. Craig speaks contemptuously of dispatches he himself sends west
very largely as Associated Press reports." (5)
