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

Several democratic leaders, ac-
tive in trying to head off the Ras-
kob program, continued their as-
sertions that embracing such an
issue would amount to throwing
away the 1932 chances of the
party, though otherwise they ap-
peared 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 demo-
cratic row. That group yesterday

| endorsed without qualification
| President Hoover’s record and
called for his renomination. So did
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.’
