DOVER NEWSPAPER
PLANTS TO COMBINE
DELAWAREAN AND STATE SENTINEL TO
use SAME EQUIPMENT, BUT TO RE-
MAIN INDEPENDENT.
TOWNS TWO OLDEST PAPERS
BEEN INCORPORATED AS The CAPITAL
PRINTING co. AND In NEAR FUTURE
WILL ERECT A new HOME.

The incorporation of the Capital
Printing Co., in 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 a
great deal of question as to what ar
rangements had been made and who
were interested in the new company.
When former Senator Willard Sauls-
bury, who is majority owner of the
Delawarean, was asked concerning it,
he said the understanding at Dover
was correct, that the Delawarean, in
which he is chief owner, is without a
sufficient printing plant to meet in
creasing business, and he and State
Senator James F. Alec, 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 it was believed that this ar
rangement would be more satisfac-
tory to the patrons and subscribers
of both newspapers. He stated that
the Delawarean would remain, as it
always has been since it was started
by his father and his uncles, Demo-
cratic newspaper, that there would
be no change in the management or
policy of that paper; it would stand
as it always had stood in the minds of
Democrats as representing the best
interests of the people of Delaware,
particularly those of Democratic faith
and he hoped that the economies
which could be made and the better
facilities for printing, which had been
obtained, would be pleasing to all the
people who had, or who would here
after, support this newspaper.
State Senator Alice was interviewed
it and confirmed the state
ments of Mrs. Salisbury.
He stated that the State Sentinel
would continue to be an Independent
journal, and that there
was no connection further than
common printing Office between the
nor was any such con- |
L6llpldIOu.
The Capital Printing Co. will in a
few months have erected more COM
and convenient building.
When asked whether the location of
The new Office had been determined,
Senator Alice said that was a matter
which as yet he did not care to speak
about; that it would be on a site
which the new company expected to
which would be central and
to everyone.
Mr. Alice further remarked that the
State Sentinel Co. would continue to
junction as the owner of the news
PAPER and no change in it's directors
vas contemplated. So far as the Del
Lwarean was concerned, he under
tood that this would be practically
he same, except that some prominent
Democrats might be added to its di-
ectorate. Mr.. Alice stated very frank
Y that the cost of printing weekly
newspapers was very great, due to
he overhead charges, and the cconO-
ny of the course adopted by these two
newspapers was the inspiring motive (
OF the combination. ]
