Description | The Williamson Enterprise, a pro-Democrat weekly in Williamson, WV, addressed political and business matters under Kenna Blackburn's helm. It criticized graft and national issues like Theodore Roosevelt's presidency. In its final issue, Blackburn announced The Progressive West Virginian, aiming to attract investment to the coal-rich region. The Progressive, under Thomas B. Garner, courted readers across the Tug Fork River and took a pro-Wilson stance in the 1912 election. It covered the Paint Creek-Cabin Creek strike with a centrist perspective, advocating for fairness and investment while critiquing Governor Glasscock's costly response. The paper ceased in 1913, succeeded by the Williamson Daily News. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1911 of this newspaper. |
