The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1911-12-01
HURRY THE ELECTION RETURNS IN TO THE COMMONWEALTH
Win Ten Dollars

Wanted, three hustlers each to
win ten dollars.
Comrade A. B. Melville of Con-
crete has contributed thirty dol
lars to The Commonwealth to be
distributed equally among the
three hustlers who shall send most
money to he paper for subscrip-
tions during the months of Decem-
ber and January.
1t is stipulated that twenty-five
dollars in subscriptions is the least
amount for which one of these ten
dollar prizes viii ce paid.
Do not include names and ad-
dresses of those subscribing in a
letter. Write them on a separate
sheet.
Mark the sheet "Contest" and
let your own full name and address
appear thereon.
Money to cover subscriptions
must accompany list of names.
This office will at once forward
receipt for money received.
Hustlers on the socialist lyceum
course may participate in this con-
test. 1t may seem to others that
they would have an advantage but
a yearly lyceum subscription can
be credited to the hustler at only
so cents, as that is the amount
which we receive from Chicago on
each subscription. Those taking
subscriptions for The Common
wealth through the lyceum bureau
must send to us a list of the names.
They will be unable to send the
money, as that must come from
Chicago, but we must have a list
of the names here that we may
check them up.
This contest is open to workers
everywhere. Get busy. Win ten
dollars and swell the subscription
list of The Commonwealth. De
cember and January are the
months.

The Mcnamara
Trial

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov 30.-With
eleven peremptory challenges he will
clear the jury box down to seven jurors.
During the past week the character of
the talesmen and the attitude of Judge
Bordwell has been most discouraging
The decisions have been of such a nature
that the Judge and chief counsel for the
defense have on several occasions come
into sharp conflict.
Darrow sprung a sensation when he
declared that he did not want jurors
who were inclined to any halfway meas
ures.
"We want this defendant to be given
his liberty OF 10 be hanged" was the
astounding declaration of the attorney
when the Judge hesitated concerning
challenge of a juror who was not Ger
tain as to what he would do regarding
circumstantial evidence. Darrow eX-
pected the prosecutor to challenge the
man for cause and upon his failure to do
SO Darrow challenged. The judge kept
his ruling in allegiance two days waiting
TO decide whether 10 permit the defense
TO challenge under the circumstances.
Loran ". Trayers stated that he could
