Barton County democrat., 1915-02-12
ALL READY FOR THE DAILY
First Issue of the Daily Democrat
Will Be Monday, Febru-
ary 18th

:. With this issue of the paper
The Barton County Democrat
will cease TO be as a weekly paper
, and will enter the larger field of
a daily newspaper. That the
change is a popular one among
those who have been readers of
the Democrat in the past is elo-
quently attested to by the fact
that practically the entire list of
those who have been subscribers
TO the Weekly Democrat have
either called or written to the Of
flee and ordered The Daily Dem
socrat sent to them in the future,
and in addition several hundred
new names have been added to
the subscription list. And all of
this is very gratifying to the pnb4
liSherS' of the paper. 1t is a big
step from issuing a weekly paper
to that Of putting out paper each
day, and il involves not only. a
deal of added work but of added
expense as well, and We are more
than pleased TO know that the
many hundreds of readers of the
Democrat in the past are prac-
tically aunt in standing behind
the new daily paper. =
Arrangements have been COM
pleted for the securing of one of
the best telegraphic services OBJ
tainable, that of The United Press
Association, with headquarters
in New York, and of which aSso-
citation the Democrat is now a
member. The United Press As
SociafiOn has the reputation all
over the world of being one of the
very best and most reliable of any
news service which can be had
and the Democrat feels just a lit
tie bit proud to be affiliated with
an agency of. such high and well
deserved reputation. II will mean
that the readers of The Daily
Democrat vii have a ialegfapin
service which will be exceeded
only in point of volume by the
largest papers Of New York, Chi
cago, Kansas City and like places
for they may, feel. assured that
whenever an article is sent out
by The United Press Association
: it will be authentic and will not
be of' the grapevine" variety
which is daily. Sent out by the
smaller press associations.
We are not attempting to make
any Of our readers believe that
The Daily Democrat is going to
be a city daily in any sense of the
word. We shall try in every way
to issue 40 paper which. will not
only be a credit to ourselves but
20 the community as we'll, but as
we expect to make this one of the
permanent institutions of the
community, we expect to start Out
in a modest way and increase as
the field andothe community de-
velopS. Our telegraph service
will cover the important news of
the state and the nation and
world, sand in addition to all the
official news of the city and coun-
ty, the LOCAL field will be covered
in a thorough manner, but in all
s0t thus correctness in detail will
sbe given more care and consider
alton than the mere matter of
volume Of news. We intend to
issue such a paper that when the
speopie read an article in The
Daily Democrat they will have
confidence that it is correct, else
II would not have been printed.
We are going to play favorite
with none, but intend to publish
al news worth while in an abso-
lutely impartial manner, and in
every' way to give our readers
such 8 paper as will be of real in
tereSt to all:
% If you believe in this kind of a
paper, We ask that you invite
your friends to join the big DEM
osrat family. You can assure
them thatsthey viii secure the
iull worth of news for their mon-
'ey and that they will be making
an investment which will prove
to be worth while.
