Hoover Boosted

Hoover’s name was being uttered
at republican rallies all over the
country in a not unusual swing to-

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-
vention of the party in Michigan.

 
 
-Washington, Mar. 7 UP)—
The Democratic row precipi-
tated by Chairman Raskob of
the national committee, has
led to a full flowering of po-
litical speculation concerning
1932.

ut in Republican ranks as well as
the next presidential race has be-
come an absorbing topic for public
utterance, and, on one side inde-
lpendents are getting together, dis-
‘claiming any third party intentions
but bent on making their mark
through uniting on objectives which
nave heen somewhat scattered.
