 Washington, March 7.—-(4)—The
democratic row precipitated § by
Chairman Raskob of the National
committee, has led to a full flower-
ig of political speculation concern-
ing 1932.

Not only in the party of Jefferson
but in republican ranks as well the
next presidential race has become an
absorbing topic for public uterance.
And, on one side independents are
getting together, disclaiming any
third party intentions but bent on
making their mark through coalesc-
ing On Objectives which have t>2en
somewhat 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
hoom for the Maryland anti-prohibi-
tionist, Governor Ritchie had march-
ed forth with au 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 politi-
cal specluators with emphasis on the
bearing such an event would have on
Roosevelt's presidential chances,

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

Several democratic teaders, active
in trying to head off the Raskob pro-
gram, 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 par-
ty leaders came a prediction that the
G. 0. P. would have easy sailing as
a result of the democratic row. That
group yesterday endorsed without
qualification President Hoover's re-
cord and called for his renomination.
So did the State convention of the
party in Michigan.

An utterance, interesting because
of its source, was attributed to Sen-
ator Lafollette of Wisconsin, inde-
pendent republican, who was quoted
in Philadeiphia as saying Mr. Hoo-
ver’s renomination on a bone-dry
platform was a foregone conclusion.

He said again that he saw no im-
mediate upwelling of public senti-
ment to justify a third party move-
ment.
