ROOSEVELT AND
\ WILSON vICTORS
~
Colonel Apparently Captures All
J New Jersey Delegates.
MEANS TWENTY-E|GHT VOTES
Carries State at Large by Ten Thou
sand Plurality and Claims All
4 Congressional Districts.

Newark, N. j., May 29.-One OF the
most sweeping victories Theodore
Roosevelt has won in the primaries
since he began his campaign for the
Republican presidential nomination
was recorded by the Republican voters
of New Jersey. Indications based on
incomplete returns are that Colonel
Roosevelt carried every congressional
district in the state as we'll as the
state at large and that all the twenty
eight delegates New Jersey will send
to Chicago will be Roosevelt men.
Governor Wilson won his own state
against strong opposition headed by
his political enemies within the state
and appears to have twenty-four OF
the twenty-eight delegates, including
the delegates at large.
Colonel Rooseveits indicated plu-
rality on the preferential vote is
10000.
Senator Ea Toilette made showing
in every county, but his vote as far
as counted indicated that he would
not yet more than 2 per cent of the
total.
Taft Men Admit Defeat.
Roosevelt's victory is conceded by
the leaders Of the state Taft organiza-
ton. e. w. Gray, secretary of the
Taft Business Mems league, said that
Colonel Roosevelt probably had won
the four delegates at large and also
the ten district delegates from the
counties of Essex and Hudson, which
comprise the cities of Newark, Jersey
City and Hoboken, besides a number
of the most populous suburban towns
Governor Wilson's opponents had to
be satisfied with the showing they
made in Essex county, the stronghold
Of former Senator James Smith, Jr.,
and former Democratic State Com
mitteeman James r. Nugent. Indica-
tons were that Wilson delegates had
been elected for the state at large
and in all but two of the districts. The
Newark Star, which Is owned by for
mer Senator Smith, conceded Cover
nor Wilson's success, but said that the
opposition probably would elect six
district delegates in Essex and Hud-
son counties.

POLITICAL INACTIVITY,

Our leaders stand by and see the
machine" pack the caucuses, and
control primaries in Negro districts.
They get the money to deliver the
vote and use no effort to do SO. II
they did, the Negro districts of the
9Th and 9Th wards would have Negro
representatives. Old Negro leaders
do not believe in Young Mems Politi-
cal Clubs. They fear their own I'M
doing.
The Negro Is due, some political
representation as a matter of right,
not as a matter of favor. Numerical
ly we are strong enough to demand
this. If we get together.
The Negroes Of Hennepin County
have secured little representation, ex-
cept empty honors for an apparent
leader.
Prof. Kelly Miller in the Political
Capacity of the Negro" says that
elimination of the Negro from office
means his elimination from politics.
The Negro should have voice In
the affairs governmental, both local
and national, in proportion to the sup.
port he gives that government.

ing nine successive ballots extending
over period Of four days with no re-
results the various candidates for bish-
ops at the general conference of the A.
M. q. Zion church In session In this
city withdrew. Their withdrawal was
brought about by committee consist
ing Of Bishops Alexander Walters, ].
w. Alstork, J. 8. Caldwell and Drs. W.
n. Goler, j. g. Dancy and w. L.
Hamblin, who had impressed upon the
candidates that the majority of the
delegates would not elect two bishops
at this time.
The eight bishops Of the church had
previously recommended that no ad-
ditional bishops be elected at this time,
but some Of the delegates were op-
posed to this program. A two-thirds
vote and twenty years service in the
ministry were necessary for election.
There were eighteen candidates at
first, but toward the last the fight mar
rowed down to j. 8. jackson, financial
secretary Of the denomination; George
q. Clement, editor Of the Star of Zion;
R. B. Bruce, editor of Sunday School
Literature; R. 8. Rives Of Knoxville.
Tenn; s. L. Corrothers Of Washington,
J. B. Colbert and w. L. Lee.
After Bishop Caldwell had finished
reading the agreements Of the various
candidates to withdraw each Of the
various candidates for the episcopacy
arose and seconded the proposition,
and an affecting scene followed. The
election Of general officers was then
entered into with the following results:
]. 8. Jackson, financial secretary; G.
q. Clement, editor Of the Star Of Zion;
M. D. Lee, general secretary; F. X.
Bird, manager Of the A. M. q. Zion
Publishing House; R. B. Bruce, editor
Of Sunday School Literature.
A memorial service for Bishops Mar
tin R. Franklin and J. w. Smith, who
have died since the last session of the
general conference, was held Sunday
afternoon. The report Of the Woman's
Home and Foreign Missionary society
showed that $1,000 had been raised
for missions during the quadrennium.

mingham, and also head Of the Nation
al Negro Bankers association, was one

The Twin City Star has always ad-
vocated organization, and today we
have an organization. The Negro
Independent Club is destined to be a
political factor in the future cam
paigns of Hennepin Co., as well as a
civic body of great importance, which
is necessary for advancement among
Negroes in this community. This Club
was organized at the home Of the
Star, and has grown rapidly. 1t is
earnestly hoped that all voters will
interest themselves in this Club. Its
membership is unlimited, and every
member has a voice and vote. Let
the Neg oes Of Hennepin Co., give
credit to those who have taken the
initiative, and made an attempt to
cause our citizens to realize that they
are entitled to more recognition than
a few jobs dispensed as the patron
age due the Republican voters.

UNLIMITED LAWLEssNEss.

The sentiment of the American
public knows no bounds. They chose
any time or place to perform any
ceremonies which may appeal to
their fads or fancies. The
lynching of Negroes by white men
is prevalent, yet the lynching of
white men by white men has proven
that this lawlessness is not born of
prejudice alone, but out Of a custom
practiced by these public execu-
TONERS, who disregard the written
laws Of the land and hold justice as a
mockery.

A REAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper isn't simply bare
chronicler Of events. It Is a personal
ity. 1t comes into your house almost
as a member Of your family.
What sort of a person d. you like
to have visit you?
He ought to be honest, courageous.
no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with
real interest in you, ready to lend
a hand II you need help, Cheerful
ness and good humor are excellent
qualities, and a wide range of in
terests.
What do you find in The Star?
It has opinions, Of course, and II
speaks them out freely. They are it's
own and they are not Influenced by
outside interests. The square deal is
its platform.
In handling news 1t observes the
decencies and amenities of life. II
never wantonly brings shame or sor.
row to any home. It's advertisements
are clean.
II the Twin City Star does not
bring you something Of interest in
any particular issue, It has failed by
so much that week. It takes Of its
hat and apologies for having bored
you as a visitor.
But It trusts this doesn't often hap
pen. Not often, does It?

hand-bills and hang-up notices. They
read the Twin City Star.

Necessity For Educational Clubs.

Necessity For EDUCATIONAL Clubs.
The organization Of educational clubs
in the large cities and rural districts
for the purpose Of encouraging public
school attendance, as recently suggest
ed by President John o. Spencer Of
Morgan college would be direct bene-
at to our educational interests. 1t
would not only encourage those who
are In school, but would inspire many
who are Indifferent to take advantage
Of the opportunities for obtaining an
education which are open to them.
The suggestion Is most timely, and the
need for such organizations Is imper-
alive.

BIG MARBLE CONTRACT

Tho following taken from the
Marble Booster" will indicate
that Col. Meek is pushing the mar
BILE business in great shape.
Colonel c. +. Meek, president of
the Colorado Yule Marble company,
returned this, week from his trip
East and gave futher information
concerning the big New York con-
tract which the company secured
last week.
This contract is for the interior
marble in the new 10-million dollar
municipal building in New York
City. According to the Colonel, it
is the most important contract as
to effect upon commercial business
the company has yet undertaken
to fill The Colonel feels quite ex
ultant over the matter because the
work was taken ut 4 higher price
than some of the other competitors
offered. The reason the Colorado
Yule company landed the contract
at tie higher price was solely on
account of the superiority of the
local product.
After the commissioner had visit
ed all the Important jobs this COM
papy has under way in various parts
of the United S'atea, and had also
visited other jobs of other marble
companies he determined to use
Colorado-Yulc marble for all toilets,
which made change in the plans
necessary, inasmuch as it had been
the original intention to use Car
rara glass for the toilets. 1t had
been thought that Carrara glass
would be the most beautiful mater
ial but after the commissioner saw
some of the toilets made out OF the
Colorado Yule marble he thought
they were still moro beautiful and
he made the change.
The contract is taken at flat
rate OF So much per cubic foot and
/ Colonel Meek does not know what
amount of marble will be required
