Abstract:

Josephus Daniels had a long and busy life combining several successful careers. Mostly known as the owner-editor of the Raleigh NEWS and OBSERVER, Daniels was also an influential spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. Less well known is that Daniels was twice urged to run for high office, first governor then US senator; however, he did not yield in either case as he did not want the NEWS and OBSERVER to be a herald for his own agenda.
