Asked as to Politics.

incidentally Attorney Darrow already
has added to his broadside Of questions
aimed at each taIesman a query as to
their political views, whether republican,
democratic or socialistic.
The prosecution, 1T is said, intends to
pursue the same tactics, with the idea
chiefly of learning from talesmen to
what extent sOcialistic views would af
feet their Judgment in the case The trial.
in fact, though based on indictment for
murder preferred against James B. Nc
Namara as an individual, has been out
lined by the defense as chiefly a struggle
between capital and labor. and in seeking
to learn the state of mind Of prospective
jurymen Attorney Darrow repeatedly has
set forth that it is important for the de-
Tense 10 know whether a mans previous
prejudice against labor unions as such
would cause him to adopt the attitude
that the McNamaras caused the Times
building to be destroyed because of the
newspapers opposition to unionism.

Gas Explosion Main Contention.

In striving to learn the opinions of
talesmen as 10 the cause Of the explosion
persistent Interrogation of counsel for the
defense on the question of whether the
dynamite or gas. theory is held by them
has indicated that very likely this will be
one of the Notifications Of the defense
against the case Of the prosecution. No
other principle upon which the defense
intends TO rest its case has as yet been
formally limited at in court by Attorney
Darrow, nor has any direct statement
been made that an attempt would be
made to prove an alibi for James b. Nc
Namara. The plan of the defense Is said
| to comprehend first the contention that
the building was not blown up by dyna-
| mite. but by gas, and when well along
with this variety Of testimony it may
move to quash the indictments.
In fact, motions to quash are expected
to be made frequently by the defense on
/ the assumption that the indictments are
based on the dynamite explosion theory.
The case of the prosecution becomes an
! utter failure If it does not prove that
/ the building was blown up by dynamite
/ and If il appears that gas did it, is the
| expressed view OF Attorney Darrow. But
| the prosecution has refused TO admit this
| in court. not considering it's case as
hingeing on that matter at all
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-10-18
Two Principles Acknowledged.

Two important principles have been
acknowledged in court by the defense in
it's examination of talesmen. In the first
place any veniremen who have fixed pref
udices against labor unions both as to
their organizations and their individual
members, will find themselves subject to
challenge for cause. and IL not allowed
by the court, then they will be subject to
peremptory challenges later. Again, any
man who has handled dynamite or who
on investigation of his own record has
reached an immovabe opinion that the
Times building was destroyed by dyna-
mite whether feloniously placed or not,
likewise will be considered by the defense
as hostile to its cause.
The prosecution, when its turn comes
for examination, has let it be known that
it will just as vigorously oppose any
talesmen being sworn as jurors who are
fixed in their ideas that the Times dis
aster was caused by a gas explosion.
Analogous to the contentious of the de-
Tense on labor unions, the prosecution,
according to a declaration by District
Attorney Fredericks today, is preparing
to weed out, either on challenge for
cause or peremptory challenges, those
talesmen whose political views are so
fixed as to make them unequivocal cham
pions of union labor and its members re-
gardless Of the Individual case at hand.

Principal Points of Contention in
Trial Growing Out of Los
Angeles Disaster.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, October 1S-Not-
withstanding the fact that the defense
in the Mcnamara trial at the opening of
court today had tentatively accepted six
talesmen, prospects for the final inn
ipaneling Of a jury within a period of
less than a month were not considered
bright today.
Clarence s. Darrow, chief counsel for
James 3. Mcnamara, said the defense
would continue to examine for cause the
remaining veniremen, but would return
each day with a few questions to the
taleSmen previously accepted
The defense constantly is seeking to
learn all about the past life of the tales
men. and an instance of its investigation
subsequent to practical acceptance in
court of talesman Monday was that of

obtained the following day that Roberts
once had some difficulty as an employer

however, it developed that he said he

then had employed only union men,

opposed to that qualification. Be-
cause II this was done a Constitution
would not be made for years and then
no one would know what was in it.,
because the people who wrote it would
not agree. And If all of the intelli.
gence in the country is in the heads Of
the lawyers, the country is in bad
way. All classes have to live under
the constitution and all classes should
have hand in making it.
Any man who wants honor at the
hands Of the people should be fair with
them.
The nan who is elected delegate
from Highland county to the Consti-
tutional Convention should represent
the views Of the majority Of the people
OF the county. If he does not tell the
people where he stands how can they
know what he will do.
Any man who is candidate for
delegate to the Constitutional Conven-
tion and refuses to make statement
giving his position on important mat
ters in effect says, "you 1.-THE people,
have not enough sense to know what
kind Of a constitution you need.
Whatever views you have don't make
any difference, If they don't agree
with mine they are wrong. 1 am the
smart man. / will do the thinking" I"
Such man probably wants to go to
the convention for his own special
benefit or for the benefit of some
special class, He undoubtedly cares
nothing at all for the interest or well
fare of the people generally.
