Lee Enterprises.〕 It was suppressed several times during the Civil War for its Confederate leanings before being reborn in 1865. It was first published as a weekly, then as a daily since the 1870s. The ''Democrat-Herald'' traces its origin to the ''Albany Democrat'' newspaper, founded by Delazon Smith in 1859. ''The Albany Herald'' began in the 1880s. Its founder later helped establish Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park.〔 Both the ''Democrat'' and the ''Herald'' were dailies in the 1880s and merged after the ''Democrat'' bought out the ''Herald'' for $25,000 in 1925. George S. Turnbull, a former University of Oregon School of Journalism professor from 1917 to 1948, was an associate editor at the newspaper after he retired from teaching.〔(University of Oregon Awards )〕 He died in 1977. The university's Portland journalism branch is named in his honor. The ''Democrat-Herald'' and other Oregon newspapers were bought by Capital Cities.
