Delawarean and Sentinel to
Use Same Equipment, But to
Remain Independent.

The incorporation OF the Capital
Printing Co. I'm Dover. has caused
some comment locally, because OF the
understood arrangements that. had
been made by the company, before Its
Incorporation. that It's business would
do the printing and publishing OF two
of the Dover papers, the State Senti-
mel and Delawarean. The different
politics of these papers has led to
great deal Of question MS to what ar
rangements had been made and who
were interested In the new company.
| When former Senctor Willard Sauls-
bury. who is majority owner OF the
Delawarean, was asked concerning II,
he said the understanding Mt Dover
was correct, that the Delawarcan, in
which he Is chief owner Is without a
sufficient printing plant to meet in
creasing business, and he and state
Senator james II. Alice, Jr.. the owner
OF the State Sentinel. had agreed to
organize a common printing company,
which would serve both papers with
much greater economy, and at the
same time be able TO give better SER
vice. and Il was believed that this ar
rangement would be more satisfac-
tory to the patrons and subscribers
both newspapers. He stated that Il @
Delawarean would remain, as II al
ways has been since II was started by
his father and his unclos a Demo-
cratic newspaper; that there would
be no change I'm the management or
policy of that paper; IL would stand
as il always had stood In the minds of
Democrats as representing the best
interests of the people Of Delaware.

and he hoped that the economies
which could he made and the better
facilities for printing. which had been
obtained. would be pleasing to all the
people who had, or who W uld here
after. support this newspaper.
