Socialist Ball And
Reception

Charles Edward Russell in January
Hamptons rises to remark that the so
cialists are the only people nowadays
who are having anS fun. The city CEN
tral committee has decided to prove this
in s-coliesatc. w.sy siSisSg bah 1.slA
reception at the opening of Socialist
Hail. Saturday, February g.
Socialist hall is the second largest hall
in Everett and is located in the new
concrete Dolson building at the rear of
the Commerce building on Rockefeller.
Wagners orchestra will furnish the
music. The tickets will be SO cents for
gentlemen and ladies will be admitted
free. The dancing will begin at 8 p. m.
Out-of town socialists and sympathiz-
ers are cordially invited. All Everett's

an interest in the cause of labor, will be
made welcome.
A large and enthusiastic committee of
men and women are working hard to
make this opening a success. A call is

decorations and other work.
JOSEPH T. HAZARD,
Acting Editor.
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1912-01-26

This lecturer has long been ideu-
titled with the socialist movement
through his connection with the
Appeal to Reason, a paper of i'm
mense circulation and influence,
cordially loved by hundreds of
thousands and as cordially hated
by political grafters from all
parties. Mr.. Brewer is known
throughout the United States as a
vigorous and entertaining writer,
and speaker of unusual ability.
He has travelled for years as So
cialist lecturer, lately as an assist
ant at the Debs meetings.
He is familiar by personal con-
tact with the class war in America
as exemplified in the bitter strug
gle between the Coal Trust, the
Steel Trust and similar combina
tions of capital on one side and
the working class on the other.
Through long association with
Debs and Warren in their various
fights for the workers he has ac-
quired the keenest perception of
the issues and the manner of meet
ing them. This, combined with
his splendid ability for expressing
what he knows and feels, makes
Mr.. Brewer one of the most power
full socialist speakers.
Clear and eloquent in language,
fearless in presentation, strong in
delivery and inspired by absolute
sincerity and depth of conviction,
