Eugene L. Alford and Albert H. Alford founded the Lewiston Morning Tribune 132 years ago in 1892.[8][13] It started as a four-page weekly newspaper in 1892 and it went to twice-weekly in 1895. Later it became a morning daily newspaper in 1898.[2] Eugene worked as the publisher and business manager while Albert assumed the position of editor.[14]
After Albert H. Alford died in 1928, his nephew Albert L. Alford (1907–1968) returned to Lewiston from Washington and Lee UniversityinVirginia to assume the position as a managing editor,[15] then became the publisher and editor after his father's death in 1946.[16] Known to his friends as "Bud" Alford,[17] Albert continued to work for the Tribune for 43 years.[18][19] Following his death in 1968, his son, Albert Larson "Butch" Alford, became the third publisher of the Tribune.[20]

The athlete who wins receives an article recognizing them in the sports section of the paper.[28]
