to grind. Before the election at ST.
Louis, Rev. Carey had been accused
of natural antipathy for men Of dark
complexion. "A few hours before the
election who should march into the
dining room on the arm of Bishop
Carey, and take seat between him
and Mrs Carey but Rev. HolnEes Of
Atlanta, Georgia, gentleman so
black that the reflection Of the parties
on either side Of him could be seen
in his cheeks. The scene proved
nothing but the hypocrisy of Rev
Carey.
AT the very time that the Defenders
leading bishop in politics of the A.
M. E. Church." was making speeches
for the Democrat, the city of Nash
vile was placarded with the pic
ture OF this great "race-leader' who
by appointment, was to speak on
Easter Sunday at St. Johns church on
the great subject: Race Pride,
Church Pride, Self Pride" Although
the Defender says he was "whooping it
up" for Dever, his telegram to the
pastor stated that HIS WIFE WAS
so ILL HE COULD NOT COME.
It wasn't his wife's illness that kept
him, but rather the money, or fees
from jobs he expected to get from the
Dever administration.
His Record in Tennessee
We frankly admit our present dis
gust is intensified By our recollection
OF Bishop Carey's contemplate and
cowardly conduct in a certain election
in Tennessee. After he had bought
his election to the Episcopacy, and
had been assigned to Tennessee, he
made visitsto the District and found
Us all engaged in a bitter fight to re-
elect Governor Roberts of Tennessee.
On several public occasions he heard
the men (including Rev. N. w. VIII
Iiams), shouting the praises Of Cover
nor Roberts as the greatest friend to
the race that the South had produced
since Lincoln. He heard how, under
the Constitution Of Tennessee, the
governors Of the State had never had
the power to call out the State Militia
to protect a prisoner from a mob as
sembled even in his presence on the
Capitol grounds; he heard in detail,
and more than once how this man
Roberts, a Democrat elected without
the votes Of Negroes, and who from
the viewpoint Of politics owed the
Negroes nothing, had in the face Of
bitter opposition literally ''rammed"
down the throats Of a Democratic leg
islature bill creating state Police
Force" amenable to the wishes and
orders Of the Governor. They had
more than once told him how through

hunting -Negro-leader Of the Rev. "A. ].
Carey type. Roberts lost, but the
seed he planted still lives, and a
Democratic legislature refused to re-
peal the Police Law. Negroes still
commit crimes, but they are not
lynched in Tennessee.
Let the reader contrast the record
which we have given of Governor
Roberts with that Of Alf Taylor, the
Republican. There was not one
single act or statement in all his long
career of any particular help or inter
est to the people this mighty Judas
Iscariot Carey essays to represent.
When pressed by this fact he cow
ardly and excitedly shouted back:
~ CANNOT CONCEIVE THAT
THE WORST REPUBLICAN TO
BE FOUND is NOT BETTER
THAN THE BEST DEMOCRAT. z
Thomas B. Reeds utterance. The lie
the statement conveys is as reprehen-
sible as the inference that the state
ment was original. If what he stated
is what he felt, how then could he
support Dever over Leuder? I'll tell
you why. Because he was looking for
money from Dever, the Democrat,
just as be was looking for money
from Taylor, the Republican. Getting
money from candidates is nothing new
to Rev. Carey. He has been accused
Of getting money from both sides for
his great influence" at one and the
same time. In Tennessee his cry was
Stand by the Grand Old Party" In
Chicago it was: knife the Grand Old
Party" 1t helps matters none to say
that Mr.. Dever had fine record.
Grant that The Chicago Defender
says both were good men. Dever
was Democratic Judge in Repub-
lican city where Negroes vote heavily.
Roberts was Democrat in a Demo
cratic State where Negroes do very
little voting. Comparisons are absurd.
But it wasn't race interest that led
Bishop Carey to 50 completely reverse
himself; il wasn't any concern for the

Hon. Leonidas c. Dyer, member of
Congress from ST. Louis, Mo-, the
father 81 the Dyer Anticipating
bill, which passed the lower house of
Congress in January, 1922, which was
later on defeated in the United States
Senate, the vast majority of tis
members being milk-andwater Re-
publicans, even the two senators from
Illinois turning their backs on the
bill, and it must be remembered that
both Of them are strong Republicans,
arrived in this city on Sunday morning
from long tour through the far
west, where he delivered large num-
Der Of orations in favor Of the re-
passage of his anti-lynching bill. At
all points where he spoke his meet
ings were largely attended by both
white and colored people, His coun-
try-wide speaking or lecturing tour

times he continually admonishes the
colored people to join that association
SO that it, can acquire a membership

of assisting to right some Of the
many wrongs which are constantly
being heaped upon the colored peo-
pie in all parts OF this broad land

And SO Bishop A. J. Carey helped
to put the Democrat in Office. But
isn't it humiliating to members Of
the "A. nj. E. Church to have one OF
its so-called leaders referred to so con-
temptuously? They said at St. Louis
in 1920 at the time he was elected
Bishop that through his mighty
prowess as a statesman and political
adviser" he would keep the Church
salive as a potent factor in the affairs
of this great government. God help
race or church that must be led by
man as void of character or honor
as Bishop "a. J. Carey. 1t is not our
purpose in this article to grow bitter,
but we do feel free to say that we can
not conceive of anything too low or
too mean for the man to do, provided
he be given his price in money, or
jobs (Which he can convert into
money! or one other thing which we
shall for the present not mention. Be
it understood that the writer is sol
vent, Bishop Carey knows where he
lives and what is said here is libelous
in the absence Of proof
Bishop Carey and Democracy
The writer believes that the time
has come when Negroes should be
concerned about the records of men
and not the parties to which they
belong, and hence we make no COM
plant where Negroes, believing their
interests would be best conserved by
the election of Democrat. are found
voting accordingly. For the ignorant
underworld Negro, who with no re
gard for permanent, personal or racial
interest, sells his vote for few dol
lars, we have more pity than criticism
But for the so-called leading Negro,
who is willing to sell himself and
family and every other Negro's family
over into the hands of any click OF
clan" for a few dirty dollars, or the
fees that come from the SAY" as to
certain political jobs, we have nothing
but intense contempt OF such a type
is Bishop A. J. Carey, and its no un-
common thing behind the doors Of the
Church to hear him boasting about the
money he has made in politics, and the
jobs he has filed. The interesting
thing about character Of this kind is
that his money like that of saloon
keeper, leaves him about as fast as he
gets il.
His Smoke-Screen Of Race Pride
The two greatest evils the race has
to endure are the professional white
supremacy politician Of the South,
and the professional black manhood
rights" politician of the North. They
are alike IN their want Of sincerity, and
in the further fact that they have axes

and increase his salary five hundred
dollars per year for his doubtful
services and that extra FIVE hundred
dollars per year which Davis Madison
Carey receives for practically doing
nothing comes out Of the pockets Of
the poor struggling small tax payers
and not out of the pockets Of the rich
nabobs who reside in elegant mansions
on the boulevards.
Some ten or fifteen days before
mayor Dever had made his final seiec-
ton for members Of the Board Of Edu-
cation, he attended some sort Of
a celebration at Greater Bethel
Church, And and Grand boulevard In
honor Of Bishop Carey, the head
tricky politician of his church and It
Is said that at that meeting in the pres
ence of more than seventy preachers,
that Col DePriest urged Mayor
Dever to select his old pal, Bishop
Carey, whom Col. DcPriest cussed
out some years ago to dead stand
still, as one of the members Of the
Board OF Education but mayor Dever
ducked Bishop Carey and Col.
