ANNOUNCFMENT TO THE PUBLIC
The Tribune herewith announces that its
management has been changed. Dr. Aaron C.
Toodle is no longer officially connected with
this paper or the Midwest Publishing Company
in any official capacity whatever.
The new general manager is Charles H.
Mosley, administrator of the Mosley estate. But
Editor J. Edward McCall is in full charge of
operating the paper and the entire plant.
In the future, the policy of the Tribune will
be progressive and unbiased and will include the
welfare of the entire group of* our people in
Greater Detroit, as well as throughout Michigan.
The spirit of the Tribune is the spirit of service
to all. It will not be operated exclusively to pro
mote any individual, club, churchy organization,
or political party. Our policy is to serve the en
tire community and to put the common welfare
ahead of selfish interest and ambition.
The Tribune is a non-partisan paper, in
whose columns the various recognized political
organizations will always be given equal oppor
tunity and consideration to get a public hearing.
This paper has not only changed manage
ment; it has also changed its name. The new
