Charles Clarke Black (July 29, 1858 – December 23, 1947) was an American jurist and Democratic party politician from New Jersey.
Running on an "equal tax" platform, he was nominated for Governor of New Jersey at the Democratic State Convention of 1904.
Stokes also favored equal taxation of railroads and other property, and he ultimately defeated Black by a margin of more than 50,000 votes.
[3] Black continued to serve on the State Tax Board until 1908, when he was appointed by Governor John Franklin Fort to be a Circuit Court Judge.
He served on the Supreme Court until 1939, and after retiring resumed his Jersey City law practice.
