...Sunday Citizen was put out by Scripps-Howard's well-established evening Citizen. The new Sunday Journal was published by the 127-year-old conservative Ohio State Journal ("Columbus' 'Good Morning' Newspaper"). The Journal is owned by the rich, powerful, publicity-shunning Wolfe family, which also owns all the remaining newspapers in Columbus-the 1? evening Dispatch, the 10? Sunday Dispatch, the 5? Sunday Star.* Reigning head of this clan is paunchy, big-jowled Harry Preston Wolfe, 66, who is reported to have sworn he would run the Citizen out of town...
Little over a fortnight ago Harry Wolfe heard the Citizen was secretly planning a 5? Sunday paper to cut into his 10? Sunday Dispatch. Instead of dropping the price of the Dispatch, which takes in 140,000 dimes in Central Ohio, he boldly announced the 5?

This meant that some 400,000 Sunday papers were being printed in a city of 310,000 people -probably a record for the U. S. Both the new papers planned to continue to deliver Sunday editions free "as long as necessary...
Harry Wolfe and his brother Robert ("Old Bob") bought the venerable Journal in 1902. (One story is that Bob fell in love with the Journal because it defended him when somebody tried to blackmail him.) Bob Wolfe was a huge bear of a man, forceful, shrewd, hard-drinking, hard-cussing. He served a penitentiary term for shooting a man who insulted a lady he was escorting, personally broke into every boathouse on Buckeye Lake to aid rescue work during the 1913 flood, used to spout memorized poetry by the yard. He died...
...paid about four days overtime for each day they work was advanced in Washington last week. It was advanced not by enthusiastic Newspaper Guildsmen, but by forceful, big-jowled Lawyer Elisha Hanson, who used to cover the Peoria Distillers of the old Three-I League for the Peoria Journal.* Nowadays Mr. Hanson is the high-powered adviser of almost every important association of newspaper publishers...
