...kinds of people hurried to his support. Palmer ("Ep") Hoyt, the new and energetic publisher of the Denver Post, backed him editorially. So, to Denver's surprise, did the Post's archenemy, the Rocky Mountain News. Most of the city's railway brotherhoods were for him. So were most of its C.I.O. unions, 300 of 412 Republican precinct committeewomen. Quigg Newton's campaign was a model of politeness. Instead of berating Old Ben (Denver wasn't exactly mad at him, it was just tired of him) Newton simply called for change...

Calm & Clean. Ep Hoyt, who climbed from lowly copyreader to publisher of the conservative Portland Oregonian in twelve years, was changing the Post's ways slowly, but in one year he had done a lot.

Even though Hoyt had increased its editorial staff from...
Legs for the Empire's Voice. Ep Hoyt had adopted Bonfils' proprietary feeling about the Rocky Mountain area (the Post calls itself "The Voice of the Rocky Mountain Empire"). Soon he will have legmen in all of the empire's 13 states. Come the days of unlimited paper, Hoyt expects to reach unimpeded as far as Canada to the north, Mexico to the south; east until he bumps the Kansas City Star, west until he shares newsstand space with the workmanlike Salt Lake City Telegram...
...will be summer before Ep Hoyt's new building is finished, and Hoyt abandons the "Bucket of Blood" office he inherited from Bonfils.* But Hoyt won't break completely with the past. He is going to take with him the Statue of Justice (which has surmounted the Post building since its late proprietors took it from the old Denver courthouse). And across the front of the new building he will paint the slogan that decorated the old: "O Justice, when expelled from other habitations, make this thy dwelling place...
