Braying ass, honorable donkey

Some (hopefully) friendly tomfoolery between rival Charlottetown newspapers in 1926.

A photo of text that reads: Editorial Notes. The Evening Patriot in its editorial columns yesterday, for the second time, alleged that The Guardian "called the editor of the Patriot a dog and a braying ass." Will the Patriot please cite date and occasion for its allegation, as we have no recollection of associating the highly intelligent dog and the useful and honorable donkey with the esteemed editor of our contemporary?

The Evening Patriot in its editorial columns yesterday, for the second time, alleged that The Guardian “called the editor of the Patriot a dog and a braying ass.” Will the Patriot please cite date and occasion for its allegation, as we have no recollection of associating the highly intelligent dog and the useful and honorable donkey with the esteemed editor of our contemporary?
