It is smooth aailing for Mr. Blair bow, so smooth indeed that for some days he has been quietly going to the Treasury Department and unofficially getting acquainted with the duties of the Dosition of Commissioner or 1 tcrnal Revenue, that he do this has been ; the direction of Secretary Mellon and Blair is shaping op for routine worn as soon as the O.

And his administra tive ability will also be questioned. Net-raw Plaa Open Warfare - But as for Linney. Well, that is an other story, or his is to be. a atomy season for landing.. Senator Ernst, .t Kentucky, chairman of the sub-commit-tee, before which he is to appear had a telegram from Prof. D. C. Suggs, of ' Livingstone eollege, at Salisbury, today asking that he and other negroes op- . posing the confirmation of Mr. Linney be heard by the sub-committee.

Linney loft , without giving out the statement today that he had promised, saying "After thinking the matter over I have decided that I will make no statement at this time. I feel that my first statement should be to the committee which wi'l hear the matter, and I will have nothing to say until I go before it," But ia talking with members of Congress it ' reported he has said that he did not know about the 'now famous circular letfcr about putting the negroes out of the business of voting Antil after It was issued, thst the publicity eora- . mittee' of the Republican executive committee had full authority to issue matters over his nsme, and that he had not repudiated the letter to the women of North Carolina. Opposition From New Qaarter That the negroes have no idea of let ting up in their fight on him is indi cated from many sources in letters and ' telegrams to members of , the Senate. They are hot 1n the eollar about his position for a "Lily White Republican party for North Carolina. And they are raising another point of grievance against him as shown in letter which ram today to Senator Borah from Charles N. Hunter, former editor of Raleigh Independent, and W. H. An eruai, a colored lawyer of Raleigh. In that letter not only is there opposition to Linney expressed as to the letter but also the attitude of Bepubliean State Chairman Linney ia favoring the en forcement of rural segregation of negro land ownership, the Linney position, aeeording to the Hunter letter, being that no negro was to be allowed to own farm land adjacent to that of white iand owners, the Hunter statement be ing that when Linney was the Bepubli ean candidate for governor in 1918 he had approved this policy, while' on the other hand 'Thomas W. Bickett, Demo cratic candidate, stated that he was op posed to the poliey. And he emphasized -that Linney position in eliminating the negroes from voting ia in violation of the constitution, that no law violator should be mad an officer charged with the enforcement of the law. A Letter From Raleigh Her is the Hunter letter to Borah: ''Permit u to express through you to the Judiciary committee of the Senate the earnest hope and prayer that the nomination of Mr. F. A.
