In 1974, Hussman left Hot Springs for Little Rock when WEHCO purchased ''The Arkansas Democrat,'' the afternoon daily in the state capital. Hussman implemented a strategy of reducing operating costs and expanding subscriptions within the metropolitan area. Nevertheless, the advertising and circulation trends continued to be unfavorable. In 1977, Hussman sought a joint operating agreement with the rival morning newspaper, ''The Arkansas Gazette.'' However, ''The Gazette'' publisher Hugh Patterson rejected the overtures and spurred a competitive 13-year newspaper "war" between ''The Democrat'' and ''The Gazette.''
