[2] Indiana newspaper businessman Rudolph G. Leeds bought the Indianapolis Sun in 1910 before selling it to George H. Larke and William D. Boyce in 1913.

Boyce and the new co-owner, John W. Banbury, renamed the paper the Indiana Daily Times in 1914, and it reached a circulation of over 46,000 the following year.

Story topics included voter fraud, state government financial scandals, falsely reported crime statistics, and improving public school lunches.

Under the leadership of editor Boyd Gurley, the Indianapolis Times received a Pulitzer Prize in 1928 for Public Service after it successfully exposed Ku Klux Klan involvement in state politics, including corruption between Governor Ed Jackson and Indiana Grand Dragon D.C.
