The Daily Democrat Publishing

erson was named as statutory agent.
The company is capitalized at $780,
600 The incorporators and directors

ers and /. j. Anderson.
II has been known ever since the
latter part of September that the
democrats were figuring on starting
daily here, consequently the an
nouncement that the initiative has
been taken toward the actual esiaD-
fishing of such an organ will cause
no particular surprise.
Col. d. K. b. Sellers, when inter
viewed yesterday regarding the new
venture. stated that a large number
of letters had been sent to prominent
democrats throughout state outlining
the plan to launch paper here. its
policy editorially to be to spread pure
and unadulterated democratic propa-
ganda The replies so far received
have been entirely satisfactory" he
said. II have received favorable
telegraphic replies from thirty-three
members of the state democratic
committee. | have also been assured
in person and by letter of the sup
port of the national organization"
1t is the intention of the new con-
Germ to absorb the commercial print
ing plant of Albright & Anderson and
add sufficient equipment in the way
of additional linotypes, a Duplex
press and such other articles as may
be necessary to get out a newspap per.
The job department will continue to
operate as at present when the plant
passes into the hands of the new
owners. 1t is understood that the
Daily Democrat company has an OPP
ton on the Albright & Anderson
plant for $50, 600 The intention is to
raise $4,000 additional, or a total of
100000 on which to begin business.
Six thousand dollars has been ra sed.
The paper. it was stated yesterday.
will make its first appearance about
the middle of next June, or notNater
than July i. 1t will be issued in the
morning, every day in the year
1t Is the intention to sell stock
throughout the state, particularly ir
the strong democratic counties. Those
/ backing the matter hope to haYe
from $500 to 5000 stockholders. No
single individual is to be allowed to
purchase n great amount of stock.
The idea is to distribute the stock as
much as possible on the assumption
that every stakeholder will not only
subscribe for the paper himself but
boost for it and get his neighbors to
subscribe. In addition to this. it is
also understood that each democratic
county chairman will act as circula-
ton booster within his bailiwick.
One democrat in each county will
be appointed as member OF a com
mittee to meet when the opportune
time arrives for the purpose of out
lining the papers policies. selecting
an editor and other employees and
fixing salaries. 1t is also the intention
to have an executive committee to
adjudicate emergency matters that
may arise thereafter. However. it Is
the intention to have the state wide
committee meet three or four times
a year, at which meetings general
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the paper will be discussed and set
tied.
United States Senator A. A. Jones
and Arthur Seligman. chairman of
the state committee. are known to be
taking an active part in the launch
ing of the new paper.
Col. Sellers has been elected presi-
dent for the first year.
