Biography of Victor Freemont Lawson
Owner and publisher of the Chicago Daily News.
Victor Freemont Lawson was born in Chicago, Illinois on September 9, 1850. His father, Iver Lawson, was a Norwegian immigrant, a laborer who came to prosperity buying and selling real estate in Chicago during the mid 1800s. Little is known about his mother Melinda Nordvig but that she was also of Norwegian descent. His father eventually entered city politics, becoming a member of the city council in 1864. The family was active in Chicago’s first Norwegian Evangelical Church and lived in a large house at 1136 North Clark Street.
While still in grammar school, Victor asked his father’s permission to look for a job. Young Lawson found a position in the circulation department of the Journal, the first of many in his long career in the newspaper business. He attended Chicago High School on West Monroe Street, and later the Phillips Academy at Andover, Massachusetts with the intention of attending Harvard, but due to poor health was unable to continue his academic studies and returned to Chicago.
After his Iver Lawson's death in 1872, he took over the administration of his father's estate, which included a Norwegian language newspaper called the Skandinaven. Another tenant in the same building as the Skandinaven was Melville E. Stone, who about to launch an as yet untested one-cent evening newspaper, the Chicago Daily News.
Stone’s Daily News struggled financially and Lawson stepped in with capital. He became publisher of the Daily News in 1876 retaining Stone as editor. Lawson headed the Chicago Daily News for the next twenty-nine years and made many innovations in the newspaper business that continue today including advancements in newspaper promotion, classified advertising, and syndication of news stories, serials, and comics. In addition, the Daily News employed some of the most notable writers and editors of the time, such as Henry Justin Smith, Charles H. Dennis, Ben Hecht, and Eugene Field.
Lawson also created a pioneering foreign news service, first through the Chicago Record and then in 1909 transferring it to the Daily News. The News had offices in London, Paris, Berlin and correspondents in Egypt, South Africa, and Japan. The service employed distinguished journalists such as Edward Price Bell, Paul Mowrer, Raymond Swing, and Junius B. Wood to report on world affairs and was vital in providing information on such major events as the Spanish-American War, the Russo-Japanese war, and World War I during Lawson’s tenure.
Lawson’s life and career encompassed many other facets. He was president of the then newly formed Associated Press, was active politically in endorsing local and national candidates, and was a member of the Chicago Commission on Race Relations, taking significant part in writing the critical report, “The Negro in Chicago,” following the race riots of 1919. He was also a generous philanthropist who gave substantially to such organizations as the Fresh Air Fund and the YMCA, and was a prominent member of Chicago’s New England Church.
Lawson married Jessie Strong Bradley, a society girl, on February 8, 1880. She suffered from ill health most of her adult life. They had no children and Jessie passed away on October 2, 1913. Lawson himself died suddenly of a heart attack at his farm in Green Lake, Wisconsin, on August 19, 1925.

Scope and Contents note
Correspondence, clippings, reports, and other documents concerning the day to day functioning of the newspaper, as well as the Daily News foreign news service, labor issues, and financial matters. Folders with major correspondents such as Edward Price Bell, Walter Strong and Charles Dennis may contain a variety of materials, notes, reports and clippings, while many advertising and syndication companies' folders contain promotional materials. It would appear that virtually all correspondence in this series passed over Lawson's desk, whether written directly to him or to others pertaining to specific issues. Letters, clippings and proofs are often marked with notes written by Lawson and replies from his staff including Charles Dennis, Walter Strong, Hopewell Rogers and his longtime secretary Wilhelmina Werner. Of potential interest are materials pertaining to labor disputes with news carriers and composing room employees as well as Lawson's concern with truth in advertising in regard to medical products.

Series 3: Subject Files,
1888-1925
Scope and Contents note
Papers pertaining to organizations that Lawson was affiliated with professionally other than the Daily News including the Associated Press, Associated Newspapers, City News Bureau of Chicago, and the City Press Association of Chicago. The Associated Press materials contain correspondence between Lawson and his colleague Frank B. Noyes and trace the early development of the organization. Other records are made up largely of financial reports and minutes. There are several reports from the Chicago Commission on Race Relations written in part by Lawson who was a member of the Commission. These reports eventually made up the book The Negro in Chicago, a response to the race riots of 1919.
