Description | The New Jersey Leader, the official Socialist Party newspaper, championed working-class interests. Originating as The Newark Leader, it transformed into the New Jersey Leader in 1920. Managed by the Leader Publishing Association, William John Fielding and Florence Wattles spearheaded its editorial direction. Fielding, a diverse laborer turned editor and activist, and Wattles, a suffragist and socialist, shaped its content. They covered Eugene V. Debs's 1920 presidential campaign prominently. Despite Debs's imprisonment during the race, his socialist message resonated, reflected in the paper's coverage. The publication shifted its base to Camden in 1920, continuing its advocacy for socialist ideals and labor rights. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1920 of this newspaper. |
