Political Complexion to
Change When Battleaxe
Takes Charge Aug. 1.
A deal was made today whereby the
Democrat Publishing company bought
the Daily Journal. Tho transfer will
be made Apgust first and on this date
the political complexion of the paper
will be changed from regular republi-
can to progressive democrat.
Battleaxe Clover is the principal
stockholder and promoter of the Dem-
ocrat Publ. tilling company and will
after the first of next month be tho
political writer for the new paper.
Who his associates In the new concern
are has not been publicly announced
nor ia it given out who is to be the
business manager of the paper.
In speaking tod ly of a probable
man to direct the business affair of
the enterprise Battleaxe said " I
want-and expect to get a live one a
man who can deliver the good. As
to the policy of the paper and the ed-
itorial work" continued Mr. Glover
"I'll do that myself and do it vigorous-
ly." To the republican organ that is
gradually passing out of existence a
the re main Ins July day go by we
pa una to shed a tear of regret for the
paper that h?s so valiantly fought the
battles of the Grand Old Party and
landed its editor in the local pout-
office. Sad Indeed is th thought that
aoon the quill of Brother Kayser will
no longer wriggle and the heavy edi-
torial of thai versatile writer will
ream- forever or at least until the ter-
mination of the federal office he now
fcolda.
Mingled with these regret brought
by the announcement of the change J
yet a ray of hope and mixed with the
sorrow Is a tinge of joy. The pawing
of Kayser and the republican organ
from the local field of Journalism
makes w jy fur the coming of aBttle-
axe and hi democrat paper. Good
bye to the old; greeting to he new.
To . BiitMeaxc -we don't know who
the other member of the company
are we extend tho right hand of fel-
low hip and welcome you and the pa-
per to the field of Journalism and the
raun of democracy.
As a departs guest stands hat in
hand reluctant to take hi leave ho
we hesitate and falter when we think
of saying f. !'!! to Kayser but. out
of th.it feeling of hesitancy and gta.'e
of faltering we gather ourselves to-
gether and In better spirits we shout
a greeting to the statesman from Rush
Spring: 'Tome in old follow the
water ia fine."

little comment in Washington on the
fact that press agent matters of tho

jiig gens through the mails under the
senatorial mailing frank of Nelson W.

how It is that letters bearing the frank
