The Canton, Ohio, Daily News is no more. On July 3 James M. Cox, former Governor of Ohio and owner of the Daily News, announced that its career of ninety-seven years had come to an end, that its real estate, plant, and other assets had been sold to the Canton Repository. "Canton," Cox announced," is not big enough to support two modernly conducted newspaper plants. There is not a sufficient net return on the capital invested nor the labor and management involved." So another historic daily passes, and inexorable economic forces which are steadily decreasing the number of dailies in the U.S. have scored another success.
