         COMMENDING THE CAPITAL TIMES ON ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK POCAN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 11, 2017

  Mr. POCAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Capital 
Times on the publication's 100th Anniversary.
  The Capital Times has been an integral part of our community since 
its founding on December 13, 1917. In the earliest years of the 
publication, the Capital Times earned its reputation as a champion of 
progressive values by fighting for workers, farmers, and small 
businesses.
  From its humble beginnings on King Street, the Capital Times has 
expanded and adapted, yet has remained dedicated to the values upon 
which it was founded. Over the last one hundred years, the Capital 
Times has never lost sight of its mission to serve its readers and the 
people of Wisconsin.
  Since 1917, the Capital Times has been at the forefront of the most 
significant stories in Wisconsin and the United States. At a time when 
freedom of the press is being challenged and many news organizations 
are facing setbacks, the Capital Times continues its outstanding work.
  Through its efforts to pursue truth, the Capital Times and its well-
respected team of journalists have remained committed to progress and 
our future. It is my honor to now recognize the Capital Times in 
celebrating its 100th Anniversary and wish them many more years of 
success.
