Col. Charles 5. BIanton,
Missouri Publisher, Dies
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

SIKESTON, Mo-, Jan. 9.-Col
Charles L. Blanton, sr., "a, owner
and editor of the Sikeston Standard
since 1912, died at his home yes
terday.
A colorful exponent of old-time
personal journalism, COL Blanton
was perhaps best known as the
"Polecat Editor" of Southeast Mis-
souri,. The title was given him by
a competitor in journalism and poll
tics, Clint H. Denman. sr.
Mr.. Denman once declared in
an editorial that certain of Col
Blanton's printed remarks "smelled
to high heaven as a polecat would.
This gave Col. Blanton the inspira-
ton for placing at the top of his
front page an assortment of pun
gent paragraphs under a picture OF
a skunk with the captain: "The
P. c. Editor says: "For added ef-
feet, he hung a polecat hide on
the wall over his desk.
When Col. Blanton took over the
Standard it was a weekly. Later
it became a semiweekly and since
last June has been a daily, receiv-
ing Associated Press leased wire
service. His son, Charles, jr., be-
came co-publisher last year.
Col. Blanton was long active in
Democratic politics. The title OF
colonel" was an honorary one be-
slowed by former Gov. Lloyd C.
Stark.

having caused her death. Police
