Essay Draft¶

The Commonwealth FORMATTER ERROR (":" and "&" not supported in Page Names), an Everett, Washington Socialist weekly, found itself deep in debt after only three years of publication. Though business manager Katherine Hodgins nearly managed 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, 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 FORMATTER ERROR (":" and "&" not supported in Page Names). These frequent name changes are the result of both 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 often the same 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 most of this period (1913 – 1916).
