THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RASKOB PAINTED AS LONE ‘ANGEL’ OF DEMOCRATS Disclosures of His Big Contributions Drag Him From ‘Back Scenes’ Role. Bn T'nited Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 11—John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, who was slated to play a ‘ behind the scenes” role in his party’s campaign this year, has been thrust into prominence by disclosures of his liberal contributions to the Democratic party and individual candidates. Republican publicity directors have seized upon the developments in an effort to increase the friction in southern Democratic circles over Raskob’s continued leadership of the party. Because of the south’s dissatisfaction with Raskob, the active leadership of the party headquarters was turned over to Jouett Shouse, chairman of the executive committee long before the campaign began. Last month, however, the Democratic national committee’s report to the clerk of the house showed that Raskob virtually was the only contributor to the party’s treasury and practically its only financial backer. Friday the senate campaign investigating committee received testimony that Raskob was one of the largest contributors to the pre-con-vention campaign of Thomas B. Bayard, Democratic candidate for the senate from Delaware on an anti-prohibition platform. At the same time is was reported Raskob had contributed $5,000 to the campaign of Senator Thomas J. Walsh (Dem., Mont.) who is waging a hard fight for re-election on a dry ticket. Tils senate campaign committee’s next, inquiry will be into charges that large sums of money were sent into North Carolina to defeat the veteran Senator Furnifold Simmons, who opposed the Democratic presidential nominee in 1928, Alfred E. Smith.

G. 0. P. CHIEFS ADMIT FIGHT IS DESPERATE

Majority of Seats n, House Seriously Menaced, Survey Shows. T'nited Prets WASHINGTON. Oct. 11.—Pessimistic reports from campaigns in various sections of the country. have convinced Republican leaders they face a desperate struggle to retain present majorities in Congress. It developed at a meeting of party chieftains at Republican national headquarters here Friday that the party’s majority of more than fifty seats in the house seriously was menaced, and that a few seats might be lost in the senate. Campaign managers working for the coming election in the various fields reported that the business depression is hurting their candidates, ond that even Republicans generally were apathetic about supporting the Hoover administration. One of the conferees reported that an immediate election would defeat Roscoe C. McCulloch, the Republican senatorial candidate in Ohio, by 100,000 votes. Robert J. Bulkley, an anti-prohibitionist, is the Democratic candidate. It also is regarded as possible that ; Senator John M. Robison might be defeated in Kentucky and Senator W. B. Pine in Oklahoma. Republican candidates believed by the leaders to be reasonably certain of victory were Mrs. Ruth Hanna | McCormick, Illinois; Senator Thom;as D. Schall, Minnesota. Robert Carey, Wyoming; George H. Shaw, Colorado; Senator William H. McMaster, South Dakota; Senator | George W. Norris, Nebraska, and , Senator Dan Hastings, Delaware. It was felt that Albert J. Galen had a good chance of defeating Senator Thomas J, Walsh in Montana; that L. J. Dickinson (Rep.), would defeat Senator Daniel F. Steck (Dem.), in lowa and that H. B. Holt (Rep.), might win over Senator Bratton (Dem.), in New Mexico. I. A. C. EXTENDS DRIVE Members’ Campaign to Be Wagered in Score of Indiana Cities.
