History
The first issue of the Klamath Republican was issued on April 26, 1896.[1] In 1897, the publisher was the Republican Publishing Company.[1] It was a weekly publication.[1]
In 1896, the Klamath Republican was a four-page newspaper, with pages measuring 18 inches by 24 inches.[2] The Republican’s format was a seven-column folio.[3] An annual subscription to the Republican cost $2 in 1897.[2] In 1896 the editors and publishers were Bowdoin and Loosley.[2] The newspaper, as its name shows, was a proponent of the Republican Party.[2]
The final publication was volume 18, number 49, published on March 13, 1914.[1] The Klamath Republican had a successor newspaper, the Semi-Weekly Herald, which began publication on March 16, 1914, with volume 18, issue number 50.[4]
The Republican was established by W.E. Bowdoin, who had previously published the Klamath County Star, and whose father, J.A. Bowdoin, had also been in the newspaper business.[3] In 1897, Bowdoin took on a partner, Milan A. Loosley, who, in July 1898, became the sole publisher.[3] In June 1899, Loosley sold the newspaper, and for a brief time it was published by the Republican Publishing Company, of which Charles J. Roberts was the manager.[3] On September 21, 1899, W.H. Huse & Son, from Ponca, Nebraska, bought the Republican.[3] They made additions to the plant and improvements to the newspaper.[3] Wesley O. Smith bought the Republican on April 30, 1903, and still owned the newspaper as of 1905.[3]Oliver Cromwell Applegate also served as editor of the Republican for a time.[5]
In 1914, Wesley O. Smith was still the publisher and editor.[6] The newspaper was published every Thursday, and had a reported circulation of 1,400.[6] Wesley O. Smith was also the editor of the Herald,[6] which became the successor newspaper to the Republican.
