It has been said that "the press is the voice of the people," defending their causes, crying their needs and binding them to- gether. So in tracing the development, both material and intellectual, of our county, we find no greater factor than the county press.
During the first twenty-three years of our county's history, not one county paper was issued. As for other publications, they were often days old before they reached their destination in this part of the coun- try. It can be understood, then, with what enthusiasm and interest the establishing of the first county paper was greeted, in the year 1827. Its founders were Christopher Kratzer and George S. Irvin, both residents of Philipsburg. Mr. Kratzer, a cabinet- maker by trade, built the press, while Mr. Irvin, who had some experience as a printer, furnished the type.
The first issue of this paper was pub- lished at Clearfield about 1827, under the name of the "Pennsylvania Banner." It is said that the original "Banner" was not of
attractive appearance, indeed being only a slight improvement over the first news- paper of the world, printed four hundred years before ! The original partnership was of short duration, Mr. Kratzer selling his share to Mr. Irvin after a few years. This was the first of a long list of changes in ownership, title and political adherence, for the first county paper. In all it has had nineteen owners, five titles and has changed its politics four times. This pioneer paper is now in its 83rd year, and is published in Clearfield by John F. Short, under the name of the Clearfield "Republican," in spite of the fact that it is radically Democratic.
The second county newspaper also made its first appearance in the county seat, about 1834. Ex-Governor Bigler edited this paper for about two years, but soon found that with his many other activities, it was not possible to continue this new un- dertaking. The "Democrat," therefore, was discontinued, after its very brief existence.
Next came the "Clearfield Whig,"

founded by John R. Edie, who was suc- ceeded by Samuel H. Tyson and Samuel T. Williams. This paper, also, was of about two years duration, being discontinued in 1838.
For the next twenty years the "Repub- lican" enjoyed an unrivaled existence, then, in 1854, "The Raftsman's Journal" was founded by Hon. H. Bucher Swoope. This was at the time of the dissolution of the Whig party, and Mr. Swoope was a strong advocate of the new American party dur- ing the two years in which he so ably edited this paper. In 1856, S. B. Row took charge of the "Journal," and with the organization of the Republican party, the "Journal" be- came a Republican paper. Since then it has changed hands several times, but never its political complexion and to-day is a Re- publican paper of wide circulation, under the management of M. L. McQuown.
The "Clearfield Citizen" was started in 1878 by John R. Bixler, a strong advocate of the Greenback party. Later Mr. Bixler saw fit to sever his connection with that party, and became just as ardent a Demo- crat. Still later the name of the paper was changed to the "Clearfield Democrat." Soon after, Matthew Savage acquired its ownership, and renamed it "The Public Spirit." Under this name and management it has been continued, and is to-day one of the leading papers of the county, published both daily and weekly.
