Description | The Grander Age, founded in 1895 by Sumner W. Rose, was a voice for socialism on Mississippi's Gulf Coast. Initially tied to the Populist Party, it later shifted allegiance to the Socialist Labor Party, advocating for the collective ownership of monopolies. Rose's paper covered national and global events through a lens of equality, while also spotlighting the Co-opolis colony. Despite initial struggles, Rose revived the paper in 1903 with a regional focus but ceased publication shortly after. Nonetheless, Rose remained a Socialist leader, even winning local office. In 1916, J.H. Merten briefly continued the socialist cause with the Mississippi Socialist, facing opposition during World War I's fervent nationalism.
