Description | The San Francisco Call, founded in 1856 as the Daily Morning Call, became a leading Republican newspaper popular among the working class. It boasted the city's highest daily circulation by 1864 and saw continued growth under various ownerships. Mark Twain contributed to the paper as a writer in the 1860s. In 1869, owners of the rival San Francisco Bulletin purchased the Call, running it for over two decades. John D. Spreckels took over in 1897, expanding the paper and improving its quality. However, by 1906, it faced stiff competition. William Randolph Hearst purchased the Call in 1913, merging it with the Evening Post and transforming it into an evening newspaper.
