  The North Carolina Election of 1898 - Josephus Daniels
Daniels was involved in the Democrats' 1898 campaign from the beginning, working with Furnifold Simmons and other party leaders to formulate strategy.
Daniels wrote later that "The News and Observer was the printed voice of the campaign." In the months leading up to the November election, the News and Observer hammered away at Republican and Populist leaders and maintained the party's steady cry of white supremacy.
Daniels was one of the leading spokesmen of the "New South" and remained active in Democratic politics, serving in the administrations of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

 First World War.com - Who's Who - Josephus Daniels
Josephus Daniels (1862-1948) served as Secretary of the U.S. Navy from 1912-20.
Appointed President Woodrow Wilson's Secretary to the Navy in 1912, and with a background in journalism, Josephus Daniels instigated a series of administrative reforms and oversaw a modest expansion of the navy from the summer of 1915 in spite of his own pacifist tendencies.
In agreeing to an extension of naval capabilities in mid-1915 Daniels was effectively signing up to the notion of a degree of war preparedness, albeit reluctantly (a previous unwillingness that had led to the resignation of the navy's professional head, Admiral Bradley Allen Fiske).

The apology focused in particular on Josephus Daniels, founder of The N&O, who contributed to the rise of the Democratic Party that for years after the Wilmington insurrection fanned "white fear and loathing of fls" in the South.
Nevertheless, Josephus Daniels has been portrayed in a number of recent books on the Wilmington insurrection as one of the state's leading exponents of racial injustice -- and much of the available evidence certainly sustains that claim.
Daniels also made it possible for enlisted men to test from the Navy into the Naval Academy, where he altered the curriculum by increasing the number of courses in the humanities.

 newsobserver.com | Son's rebellion began N&O's evolution
Josephus Daniels bought The N&O as a young man and turned it into the prosperous voice of the state Democratic Party, which ruled the state for most of the 20th century.
Jonathan Daniels, who respected the court, called on the South to "face it with all the composure and good sense of which it is capable." The South, he wrote, "has never needed wisdom more nor fury less than it does this moment."
By the time former civil rights reporter Claude Sitton succeeded Jonathan Daniels as The N&O's editor at the end of the 1960s, the newspaper's editorial tradition was far different than it had been during the century's first half.

 TIME.com: Catholics v. Daniels (Concl.) -- Oct. 29, 1934 -- Page 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Cause of the Catholic outburst against Ambassador Daniels was a speech he made in Mexico City last July when he quoted a few ''Jeffersonian'' lines on education from an earlier address by Boss Plutarco Elias Calles (TIME, Oct. 15).
What made Daniels' words sound like blasphemy to U. Catholics was the fact that elsewhere in the Calles speech the onetime President of Mexico as a stout Revolutionary had taken his usual anti-religious position.
The excitement over the Daniels case plainly indicated that U. Catholics are by no means through with Mexico's Revolutionaries and their long war against the Church.
