Hoover Boosted

Hoover’s name was being uttered
at republican rallies all over the
country in a not unusual swing to-
wards renomination of the incum-
bent, but heartened by the disturb-
ance in democracy’s camp.

Several democratic leaders, active
in trying to head off the Raskob
program, continued their assertions
that embracing such an issue would
amount to throwing away the 1932
chances of the party, though other-
wise they appeared excellent.

Some republicans agreed with
them. Out of a Texas meeting of
party leaders came a prediction
that the G. O. P. would have easy
sailing as a result of the democratic
row. That group yesterday endorsed
without qualification President Hoo
ver’s record and called for his re-
nomination. So did the state con-

Washington, March 7. (4°) —The
democratic row precipitated by
Chairman Raskob of the national
committee, has led to a full flow-
cring of political speculation con-
cerning 1982,

The next presidential race has
become an absorbing topic for pub-
lie utterance, Most conspicuous in
democratic ranks was a concerted
effort to smother the Raskob plan
to line up the party for his “home
rule,” state liquor control project.
But out of the background a re-
current presidential boom for the
Maryland anti-prohibitionist, Gov-
ernor Ritchie had marched forth
with an endorsement by the free
state’s legislature. Rumblings of
a split between Alfred E. Smith
and Governor Roosevelt in New
York, though denied, occupied
many political speculators with
emphasis on the bearing such an
event would have on Roosevelt’s
presidential chances.

Hoover’s name was being ut-
tered at republican rallies all over
the country in a not unusual swing
towards renominaticn cf the in-
cumbent.

Attack Raskob Program

tive in trying to head off the Ras-
kob program, continued their as-
sertions that embracing such an

peared excellent,

cratic row. That group yesterday

| endorsed without qualification

the state convention of the party
in Michigan.
Predict No Third Party

An utterance, interesting because
of its source, was attributed to
Senator Lefollette of Wisconsin,
independent republican, who was
quoted in Philadelphia as saying
Mr. Hoover’s renomination on a
bone-dry platform was a foregone
conclusion.

He said again that he saw ne
immediate upwelling of public sen.
timent to justify a record party
‘movement. Of the progressive
meeting called to meet here Marct
11 and 12, he said:

| “We will formulate plans t
force our economic program on thé
attention of the next congress.’
