Fight Against Blair Will Be Carried Into n i- u' - ujui m Liuwer nouse FILM HILL BE MADE AGAINST PROHIBITION IN North Carolinians Will Take up Fight on Blair's Behalf. REPUBLICANS FAIL TO SHAKE MELLON Not Satisfied, They Are . Planning a Regular r Bombardment. Vaa AHHITtt.T.B OITIZI (V H. B. C. BIIYAST WASHINGTON, June 18. One more move to oust David H. Blair is to be made This time. It Will be on the floor of the house. Rep resentative Begg, of Ohio, who fulled the fiasco of last week In tends to go to his colleagues with his troubles. If the house could throw Blair out by a vote of the republicans that would be done, but fortunately for him there is no way to accomplish It. Presi dent Harding d embarrassed by this persistent fight on the com missioner of internal revenue. He would rather It would stop. Thus far he has quietly sided with Sec- leiary raeuun ana ciair, ana is likely to remain on that side of he controversy. Mellon has his Jkk arched, and what the aver age congressman says is mere pif fle to him. This row Is reaching an Inter esting stage now for North Caro lina congressmen. Being demo crats the Tar Heels are not taking ides but when Blair is denounced nn the floor for naming or retain ing democrat some of his person al friends in the delegation will take a hand. Most of them be lieve that the fight on Blair is un fair, and for selfish reasons. While they hold no brief for him or any other republican they exaect to see that he has a square deal. Republicans in congress are not satisfied with the way their last volley at Mellon and Blair has been received at the treasury de partment. Finding that it did not strike terror into their hearts as expected the congressmen are pre taring to turn loose a bombard ment. "Bis National Civil Service Re Mili league announced today It had examined the records in the civil service commission and that of the- 136 treasury' employes whose dismissal was asked, 80 come under the protection of the civil service law "These em ployee," It Is stated, "may not be removed unless furnished with a statement showing the reason for their dismissal and given an op portunity to renlv tn the charges de against them.

DEBATE MONDAY NIGHT TO BE HOT Allen Developing Strength Which Leads to Belief He Will Win. OIT1EIN S1W r-mtlAO Tiimnaoroi hotil ( ROCK tlKKLSV ) RALEIGH, June 18. The "Me moirs of the Abernethy - Brlnson Wars" are out again in the third congressional district and the Evana-Balley people are fighting to the death with the Hinsdale In the seventh Judicial district, stir ring up two political fueds that before July 1 may give the state some more political history of sen sational Interest. The same papers that carried the announcement of John W. Hinsdale's refusal to comply with Party Chairman Norwood's re quest for the cancellation of ' his scheduled Monday night speech carried echoes of the famous fights between Charles L. Abernethy and the late Congressman Brlnson as an issue in the present fight be tween Abernethy and Major Matt H. Allen for the congressional nomination. Mr. Hinsdale and his supporters have been searching old newspa per flies to see some records of Josiah William Bailey In prepa ration for the Monday night an swer to the gubernatorial possi bility's declarations of a week ago when he haled Hinsdale as a sorry lawyer, a sorry speaker and linked his name with charges against the "Raleigh underworld." What will come from the Hins dale answer is a matter of con siderable concern among alleged neutrals in Raleigh who see In the adding of draft to factional fires grave danger to the democrat : party. ' Hinsdale's supporters claim tfailey started the '"slanders" and that they, propose to answer him, let come what may. Evans' men believe Hinsdale will back down before tomorrow night with ths excuse that Chairman Norwood asked it. If Hinsdale speaks. Bailey is ex pected to come back, and he can use some fearful language when he wishes. That will call for more talk on the part of Hinsdale, and danger apparently exists that the furor created by the little solicitor ship race here may run into the elections next November. ' Skilled politicians here express themselves frankly as seeing the same danger in the third con gressional district. Heretofore, Abernethy and Allen supporters have not broken Into the public prints with tony bitterness although reports Indicate the fight has prog ressed heatedly on the gum-shoe style. Published references to the al leged Indiscretions of Mr.- Aber nethy in his previous fights, talk of 140,000 expended by him in the contest of a few years ago and other allegations have brought re plies from the Abernethy people. Abernethy lead Allen by 1.922 in 'the first primary, but the Golds- boro attorney Is reported to have developed a degree of strength that causes local political observers to predict his nomination. Outsiders claim disinterest In the -outcome of the contests bu. they are concerned over the pos sibility of both developing into political feuds that will have a damaging effect on the party In November. Personalities injected into both campaigns, as alleged bv one side against the other, may cause party leaders to Interfere, with greater severity than Chair man Norwood's request of Mr. Hinsdale, unless a little oil is scat tered over the political waters. If developments continue In either district for the next 12 days as they have for the past week, enlarging at a proportionate rate, by the first of July politics will be way past the boiling point in each contest. 1 FIVE IN ONE FAMILY DEAD IN COLLISIN ROYAL CENTER, Ind., June 18.
