The Weatherford Daily News is the successor to the Weatherford DEMOCRAT and was established concurrently with the town of Weatherford in 1898, haphazardly at first. In 1899, the DEMOCRAT began numbering its volumes. The publication was purchased in 1903 by county office holders, including sheriff John Campbell, who put up $100 each. The following year, Campbell, who had acquired the interests of the others, sold the paper to Harry J. Bray who published the DEMOCRAT until 1914 when an Englishman, Nathan Shumate DeMotte bought it and published it, along with Harry Demotte and his son Loren, until the death of the elder DeMotte in 1922.
