To the Editor of the Press:
In my history of the ssRise and Fall" of |
newspapers in Cumberland County which you |
were SO kind as to publish, some errors and
omissions occurred which should be glad to
correct through your columns. The comments
drawn out by the former article, from our old
er citizens satisfied me that another article on
the subject would not be uninterestng. For
many of the hints have availed myself of
am indebted to a venerable typo" who has
figured largely in the publishing of newspa-
pers in this city.
My allusion to the independent States
man" as having been established by DR.. Ma
thaniel Low, am satisfied was an error. The
Statesman was weekly paper, and was es-
tablshed about 1921, to advocate the election
of Gen. Joshua Wingate, Jr., for Governor of
the State, i'm opposition to Albion X. Paris
(the Democratic nominee) who received the
support of the Argus, and portion Of the
Democracy, led by Ashar Ware, then Secreta-
ry of State, and writer for the Argus Sew
eral of the leading Democrats, who opposed
the election of Mr.. Paris, were Isaac Illsley,
James Jewatt. ASS Clann and his son f,h.r1es
judge Widgery and others of This city and

porting the Statesman" The political con-
tsst that year was the most yirulent and per-
sonal ever witnessed in this State. Mr.. Par.
ris was triumphantly elected Governor, and
the combination suffered signal defeat
