===Essay Draft===
 	

The ''Commonwealth'' <nowiki>[LCCN:sn84025731]</nowiki>, an Everett, Washington Socialist weekly, found itself deep in debt after only three years of publication. Though business manager Katherine Hodgins was able to make the paper pay its current bills and some of its debt after she took leadership in January of 1914, debt collectors took over the ''Commonwealth'''s assets at the end of March. Encouraged by Hodgins' success in management, a meeting was held and the Socialists of Snohomish County decided to start a new paper, The ''Washington Socialist''. This paper lasted until June 1915, when it was renamed The'' Northwest Worker'' <nowiki>[LCCN:sn88085770]</nowiki>. These frequent name changes are the result of financial pressures and attempts to broaden the appeal of the paper to a greater geographic area, thereby increasing subscription income. The leadership, ownership, and content of the papers was generally consistent from title to title. As with the Commonwealth and the subsequent Northwest Worker, the Washington Socialist served as a promotional and educational instrument for the Socialist Party, reporting on national, state and local Socialist Party events and issues. 

Maynard Shipley served as editor throughout this period. Important events covered by the ''Washington Socialist'' include wars in Mexico and Europe, labor strife in the West, and elections. In August of 1914 a Socialist (James M. Salter) was elected Commissioner of Public Works, the highest office ever held by a Socialist in Everett. Notably absent from the paper are reports of internal strife within the Socialist party.
