In 1898, the "Wall Street Journal" put out its first morning edition. The paper now covered more than just financial news. It also covered war, which it reported without rhetoric, unlike many other papers. Dow also added an editorial column called "Review and Outlook" and "Answers to Inquirers," in which readers sent investment questions to be answered. Edward Jones retired in 1899, but Dow and Bergstresser continued working. Dow still wrote editorials, now focusing on the place that government held in American business. The "Wall Street Journal" set a precedent in reporting during the election of 1900 by endorsing a political candidate, the incumbent president William McKinley.
