Would it be acceptable if I prefer to follow EE 2.58 ("Square brackets ... signify that we have added words not founds in the original source") rather than EE 14.11 ("When a paper carries either a city or state in its masthead title (but not both), put the missing place name in parentheses within the title")?
Example: "Vermont News," St. Albans [Vermont] Daily Messenger, 22 May 1874, p. 5, col. 5.
