RASKOB SAYS He
LIKES POLITICS
Compares Campaign to Bust
ness-Sees Bright
Outlook.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

John J. Raskob likes politics. He
finds it as fascinating as business. The
Democratic national chairman was
riding home for the weekend IN a
compartment Of the Congressional
Limited when the writer observed him
working behind pile of papers. Every
week for years Mr.. Raskob has been
taking the same train home but Usually
it has been pile Of General Motors
reports or details of financial admins
tration.
How does it feel TO be reading poll
teal reports" l asked him. "are you
really enjoying your experience.
Yes" was the reply. Il find politics
fascinating Really. one Of he pleasant
dissppointments is that I am finding
higher grade of person in politics than
is generally supposed. I know there are
the hangcrs-on. of course, but by and
large the people I am meeting in my
work are not only of fine character. but
of capacity"
Business Training Valuable.
do you think your work is business,
in fact the training that business
man gets, is of value in political cam
paicns?"
YES and for the reason that a
campaign requires organization Just as
a business does. 1 believe the time is
coming when corporations are going to
want their executives to participate
actively IN polit'cJ according to their
own preference. 1t should be made
clear, of course. that no corporation as
such takes any parS and that no eXecu-
tives or sub-executives or foreman or
employe has the right to introduce
the subject of politics in the plant
or the Office. But an individual out
SIDE of his Office of factory ought
to be encouraged to take part in
politics. 1 believe the time will come
when compdnieS will not even have TO
resort to the idea of a leave of absence
for their executives. Some of them, of
course, can afford to leave at their own
expense. but some cannot. And yet.
when the call to service comes. no COM
pany ought 70 put any obstacles in the
path OF the man called or volunteering.
Sees Brigh: Outlook.
Mr. Raskob was asked about his own
status. He said that just as soon as
he had accepted the national chair
manship he had submitted his resig-
nation to the company. bat that there
had been delay in acting on his reSig-
nation. which accounted for the lapse
between the time of his appointment
and announcement of his resignation.
Speaking of politics and the outlook,
Mr. Raskob naturally expressed his
hopes and convictions. He pointed
out, for instance. that he had not
claimed Pennsylvania, but that the
State committee there was in high
hopes of carrying the State, He said,
Smith State in the Union. His be-
lief is that the result when tabulated
by States will show different combi-
nation OF electoral votes than any
election in history.

And of the 10000 absentee voters in

per cent are out to defeat party that

the Federal employees it has been my lot
to witness in IS years of active con-
nection with the Democratic party.

the part of the commission?

glomeration of 'bewarcs' and red-letter

Referring to the Redistribution law
and the provisions of the WEIGH act,
Mr.. Costello said:

Democrats, when a fiat pay increase of
$240 per year was given to all workers. .

of Virginia, who is to assist Mrs. Robins.
For Southern industrial women
there is only one issue. immigration.
They are getting good wages for the
first time and they don't want the flood
of foreign labor they think a Demo-
cratic victory would bring. We are not
working for the Republican party but
for a principle, and I have never seen
the women Of Virginia and the South
so up in arms
Mrs. Robins said women in industry
who had never voted before will vote
and work for Hoover because law en-
forcement and industrial rcorganiza-
ton are vital to them.
There are two groups of industrial
women" she said Those who have
done definite constructive thinking
about the industrial situation, and, Sec
ond those who are dry.
THE first group. feel that Herbert
Hoover's great quality is his ability
to reorganize industrial groups by the
consent method, through conferences,
rather than by arbitrary laws.
THE second group realize that no
other women in America have suffered
from saloons as industrial women
have"
