Hoover Boosted

bent, but heartened by the disturb-
ance in democracy’s camp.

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

WASHINGTON, Mar. 7 (AP)
—The democratic row precipitat-
ed by Chairman Raskob of the
national committee, has led to a
full flowering of political specu-
lation concerning 1932.

Not only in the party of Jeffer-
son but in the republican ranks
as well the next presidential race
has become an absorbing topic
for public utterance. And, on one
side independents are getting to-
gether, disclaiming any third
party intentions but bent on mak-
ing their mark through coalesc-

ing on objectives which have been
somewhat scattered.

Most conspicuous in demo-
cratic ranks was a concerted ef-
fort to smother the Raskob plan
to line up the party for his
“home rule,’ state liquor control
project. But out of the  back-
ground a recurrent presidential
boom for the Maryland anti-pro-
hibitionist, Governor Ritchie had
marched forth with an endorse-
ment by the free state’s legisla-
ture. Rumblings ofa _ split be-
tween Alfred E. Smith and Govy-
'ernor Roosevelt in New York.
though denied, occupied’ many
political speculators with em.
phasis on the bearing such ar
event would have on Roosevelt’s
presidential chances.

Hoover's name was being ut
tered at republican’ rallies al
over the country in a not un.
usual swing towards renomina.
tion of the incumbent, but heart.
