Several years later, researchers discovered that the editorial in question was missing, apparently having been removed from the "Tribune"'s archives, as well as the 'Oklahoma Edition' of the "Tribune" in the state archives. No known copies of the editorial exist today. Some people have claimed that the "Tribune" article was a cause of the assault on Greenwood that night and the next day. Jones never discussed or wrote about this occurrence. He neither took responsibility nor apologized for it, and the paper never again discussed the riot. Rowland's life was saved that night, largely through the efforts of the Tulsa County sheriff. Ultimately, a jury found the charges against Rowland were false. He was released and left the city after the riot was over. Other controversies ensued. The "World" editorially supported the Democratic Party and opposed the Ku Klux Klan. Jones embraced the Republicans. The "Tribune" never supported a Democratic Presidential candidate. Only once was there an editorial supporting a gubernatorial candidate. Although the "Tribune" did not endorse the Klan's unlawful activities, it implied support of the organization's stated goals, saying: "The KKK of Tulsa has promised to do the American thing in the American way." Jones crusaded against prohibition and corruption in state and local politics. He also supported issues such as reapportionment of the Oklahoma State Legislature, a merit system for state appointments, a modern highway system, fluoridation of drinking water, and economic diversification. Still, as time passed, he moved farther to the right politically. He supported Senator Joseph McCarthy for his anti-Communism and editorialized against Senator Paul Douglas for his opposition to McCarthy. In 1941, Jones joined forces with his rival, Eugene Lorton, to establish the Newspaper Printing Corporation (NPC), which would print both the "Tribune" and the "World". The management and editorial staffs of the two papers remained separate. NPC was dissolved after the "Tribune" went out of business in 1992. Jones married Georgia Hayden (1875–1967) of Eau Claire, Wisconsin on April 30, 1907. She became an advocate of liberal causes such as women's suffrage, humane treatment of animals, control of children's diseases and Planned Parenthood. The couple had three children: Richard Lloyd Jones, Jr. (born 1909), Jenkin Lloyd Jones (1911–2004), and Florence Lloyd (1914–2004). According to the 1920 U. S, Census, Richard, Jr. was born in New York, while the other children were born in Wisconsin.
