DALLAS JOURNAL. The Dallas Journal, a six-day afternoon newspaper, was established on April 1, 1914, by Alfred H. Belo^qv and Company, publishers of the Dallas Morning News,^qv with Tom Finty, Jr., as editor, Harry Clay Withers as city editor, and Hilton R. Greer^qqv as chief editorial writer. Its strong editorial page was later edited by Lynn W. Landrum.^qv Both in news coverage and editorial positions, this spritely journalistic enterprise was concerned mainly with local and state affairs, although it was an early advocate of a league of nations to promote world peace. It was sold on July 1, 1938, to Karl Hoblitzelle^qv and Alfred O. Andersson of Dallas, who consolidated it with the Dallas Dispatch under the name of Dispatch-Journal. The name reverted to Dallas Dispatch when the paper was sold on December 1, 1939, to James M. West^qv of Houston, whose heirs discontinued its publication in 1942.
