Socialist Mayor John C. Chase Takes Office in Haverhill
John C. Chase, elected on a clear Socialist platform, was sworn in as Haverhill’s mayor becoming the first avowed Socialist to assume the post in a U.S. city. He outlined plans for municipal ownership of utilities, a $2 minimum wage for street workers, union conditions for brick and stone masons, and a charter emphasizing home rule, initiative, referendum, proportional representation, and recall. He urged city council action on establishing municipal gas and electric plants and proposed a public works program tied to park improvements and bicycle paths. The election also saw a near-complete defeat of Socialist Labor candidates, with most incumbents retained except for the assessor.
