WASHINGTON, March 7 (AP)—
The Democratic row precipitated by
Chairman Raskob of the national
committee, has led to a full flowering
of political speculation concerning
1932,

Not only in the party of Jefferson
but in Republican ranks as well the
next presidential race has become an
absorbing tonic for public utterance.
And, on one side independents are
getting together, disclaiming any third
party intentions but bent on mak-
ing their mark through coalescing on
objectives which have been’ some-
what scattered.

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 recurrent presidential
boom for the Maryland anti-prohibi-
tionist, Governor Ritchie had march-
ed 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 poli-
tical speculators with emphasis on
the bearing such an event would
have on Roosevelt’s presidential
chances. |
