Don Mellett
Donald Ring Mellett (September 26, 1891 – July 16, 1926) was an American newspaper editor, who was assassinated after confronting local organized crime in his newspaper.
Mellett was born in Elwood, Indiana as the child of a newspaper editor. He followed on with the family tradition by becoming a journalist, as did several of his siblings. He studied at Indiana University, where he became the editor of the school's newspaper, ''The Daily Student'' (now the ''Indiana Daily Student'').
==Early career==
After leaving college due to illness, Mellett took on work with the ''Indianapolis News'' and the ''National Inquirer''. Some time later, he purchased the ''Columbus Ledger'', and began working as its editor, before moving on to a position at the ''Akron Press''. Then, in January, 1925, he accepted an offer to edit the ''Canton Daily News'' in Canton, Ohio.
At the time, the Daily News was struggling, and had only half the circulation of its rival paper, ''The Repository''. He began using the paper to fight local corruption, and was soon successful in pressuring the mayor to suspend the police chief. His efforts also led to the conviction of two underworld figures. Under Mellett, the paper successfully supported a Democratic candidate for mayor, in a town that had traditionally supported Republicans.
