SECOND PRESIDENT

The above is the likeness uf the
past president Of the Northern Cali
fornia branrh Of the N. A. A, G. P.
located at Oakland. When We think
of the work and the achievements
we must not forget the outstanding
feature of his administration. 1t was
he who gave to California its Civil
Rights bill. When the copy OF the
New York bill was sent to Mr. But
l-r by Mr.. Dubois, he brought the
matter to the attention of the board
Of directors, cut they did not take
noli of if, so the bill was turned
over to the late Eugene Jackson,
|C. P. Harper and John Tavior, who
brought if to the attention OF the
Sheriff, Tom Finn. He said it was
a good thing, and had all the poll
ticians get behind it in Sacramento
at the legislature. t. jackson and
Taylor were sent up as LOBBYISTS,
but discovered that Fred Roberts
had bill to introduce. Taylor
wired back to Tom Jackson toallow
Roberts to present the Butler bill
ard he, Roberts, would withdfa"
his. This was sanctioned by Butler
and Roberts presented it. but ne
allowed some of the weak-kneec
| Senators to eliminate the Jail SEN
ten.e without even consulting the
committee, and it was put over ina
nav w. A. Butter did not forgive
