The Portland Telegram was a daily newspaper serving Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon from 1877 until it was acquired by, and merged into, the Scripps-owned Portland News in 1931. The News had started out as the East Side News under secretive circumstances in 1906.[1][2][3][4] The Telegram was a Democratic paper, despite its founder being a staunch Republican.[5]
