Doyle, pub- lisher of the New Britain Record, removes an influential citizen from From 18858, of hi his the arena of civic affairs obtained control until death in when he newspaper, nis 73d year, he was a staunch uphold- ' er of civic progress, a man of cour- @ge, of industry, of sound opinions based upon a wide knowledge and experience of public affairs. As the years rolled on he became the dean ot New Britain newspaper workers and had their respect and confi- dence to the end. His life was that of a builder and ©losely paralleled that of many an- other editor of present-day journa At first he learned newspaper work and printing on a small scale, gradu- ally gathering momentum until he became a master of the printing eraft and was identified with im- portant firms. His entry into New Britain was as a printer and editor, ana his efforts here were successful. Politically he chose to be straight Republican, but it was widely known he preferred to help lead the party rather than accepting policics handed down. His advice and coun- sel was seriously considered within the party and when he spoke on political affairs it was with the au- thority of a leader within the party of his choice. Editor Doyle, in his long career, never stooped to personalitics in his columns; this was the more note- wofthy during a time in Connecticut journalism when such old-fashioned methods were still in use here and there in the state. He early adopted a standard of clean discussion of public events and consistently main- | tained it. The Herald extends sympathy to the bercaved family of its con- temporary. Our relations with Edi- tor Doyle were mutually of the bighest professional and ethical standards. In his death we, too, fecl that an irretrievable loss has been sustained.
