W. H. H. FRANKLIN.
Who is entitled to the claim of being
self made man, and a good one,

VIM H. H. Franklin, the Secretary
of the Negro Independent Progressive
Club of Hennepin County, Minnesota,
is an attorney at law, 1920 Metro
politan Life Building, Minneapolis. He
is now, and has been associated, with
VIM. R. Morris, at this address, since
May, 1904.
That he is determined, progressive,
and Independent, may be gathered
from his past record Born an orphan,
at indianapolis, Ind, in 1879, and
coming to St. Paul, Mimi, when ten
years of age, he has risen from the
ranks of the common laborer, practi-
cally unaided, to his present condition.
He drove an ice-wagon for three years
was teamster, two years; coachman,
two years, and waited table, at the
Commercial Club, and Nicollet House,
during his student days at the u of

In the vacation time, he rail
roaded", and has covered all of the N.
w. country, including Canada.
Though of a retiring and studious
disposition, he is we'll known among
the laboring classes, as he has, at
time, worked with almost every
laborer of long residence, in the city
of Minneapolis.
He was, owing, solely, to the
appreciated personal efforts of Hon.
Jno. p Nash, Representative from the
5th Legislative District, an employee
at the State Capitol, during the last
session of the Legislature. Mr.. Nash
at some sacrifice, secured this position

THE NEGRO INDEPENDENT PRO
GRESSlVE CLUB OF HENNE-
PIN COUNTY.
A ForeWord.

v The Negro Independent Progressive
Club Of Hennepin County is steadily
growing in membership, three hundred
bona fide certified members having al
ready enrolled with the secretary, At
torney VIM. H. H. Franklin.
Heretofore, the Negroes have taken
little or no interest in things political,
leaving such matters, practically, to
one or two men of the race. But now,
through the efforts of this club, they
are awakening to their political posi-
bilities. They mean to be factor in
this, and in future campaigns by
means of this organization, for this is
intended to be a permanent body.
The purposes of the club are to fur
Their the political advancement of the
Negro; to interest all bona fide voters
Of the county in the proper candi-
dates; to see that each qualified voter
does vote, both at the primaries and
at the general election, and that he
votes for the right men; distribute
necesessary literature for the proper
candidates, and enhance their inter-
ests as much as possible; and, finally,
to combat the erroneous impression
that obtains, to some extent (among a
certain class of candidates) that one
man, or select circle of men, carry the
votes of the Negroes of this county in
his or their vest pocket. They are in
dependent and consider themselves
qualified to judge of the merits or de-
merits of each respective candidate,
and will not trust to blind leadership.
Each and every voter, in becoming a
member of this club, thereby asserts
his independence of Judgment, and the
right to exercise that Judgment.
"The men who help us, and will ad-
vance our interests, collectively, are
the men for whom We will work" is
the slogan of the club. ID -
No candidate will be Endorsed by
this club without two-thirds vote of
it's members:
The officers Of the club are as fol-
lows: S. c. Phillips, president; Ralph
Watson, treasurer; Charles Sumner
Smith, editor Twin City Star" chair
man of executive committee; w. H. H.

A., The Standard Oil Company,
which the Supreme Court of the
United States solemnly "dissolv-
ed" some few weeks ago, has de-
clared a dividend of $500 per
cent. This action was taken by
the Standard Oil Company, of
Indiana, and was made for the
purpose of concealing the enor-
nous profits of the company. 1t
was what is called stock divi-
dend; that IS, for every share of
stock owned by stakeholder, he
was given 20 additional shares.
To do this it was necessary to in
crease the capital stock of the
concern from one million to thir-
ty million dollars. No new cap
ital was added, however. The
increase was declared out of the
surplus.
Since the dissolution" of the
trust, several melons of this sort
have been cut. The Vacuum
Oil Company, another subsidiary,
recently increased its capital
stock from $780, 600 to SIS, 900,
900, and it is reported the Stand
ard of Kentucky will declare
stock dividend of $500 per cent.

The Democratic wool bill of
last year proposed a reduction of
so per cent. in the tariff rates on
wool, and it passed the House by
vote of 221 to 100. The same
bill has again passed the House,
this time by vote of 1S9 to 92.
When he vetoed the bill last
year President Taft gave as his
reason the fact that the tariff
board had not made it's report.
Now, in the light of the tariff
boards report, the Republicans
of the House. propose a wool bill
calling for a reduction of 40 per
cent. in Schedule K, or just two
per cent. less than the bill which
The president vetoed.
The tariff board, therefore,
indicates the Democratic POSI-
ton on wool, if such vindication
were necessary, The Democrats
knew, long before the tariff
board was created, that the wool
rates were too high, and the
President knew it also, for in his
speech at Winona, Mimi, he
characterized the Payne ldrich
wool tariff rate a. indefensible.

The sturdy and stolid growth
of the Presidential boom for Os-
car Underwood, of Alabama, is
causing much uneasiness, on the
part of other candidates for the
Democratic nomination. Under
wood has shown leadership of
unusually high order since the
Democrats in the House became
the majority.
His success in putting through
patty measures has been excep-
tlonally brilliant and he has fore
ed hostile Senate to pass the
bills he prepared, which would
have materially reduced the tar
iff but for the presidential We
toes. His many friends in Wash
ington are greatly encouraged o.
yer the enthusiasm with which
his boom is spreading Throughout
the north. They claim that his
election to the Presidency would
not only insure material and
healthy progress, but that prog
ress would be accompanied with
national prosperity which is its
most desirable companion, and
would be a tremendous party as
set for Democratic service in fu-
ture campaigns.
