Pirst of Chairman John D. M. Hamilton'’s jobs will be to hunt eut somebody with plenty of sugar cakes in the larder upon whom substantial levies can be laid. | RASKOB KEEP DEMOS GOING John Raskob had the Job of re- viving the Deémocratic organization after its térrific lacing in 1928 when dire predictions could be heard thdt the party might never rise again. Like Hamilton, had piloted the party in defeat, and was given the job of rétiring campaign debts and of putting gas in the old buggy for 1932. i ! A substantial slice of the money Raskob had amassed in assoclation with the Du Ponts in format of General Motors was poured into the Democratic treasury as & per- |sonal loan. Raskob kept the or- ganization alive with nearly a half million dollars of his own money. Came 1929 and the big break. tide of prosperity, upon which | President Hoover had riddén, turn- |ed into a depression which gave astute Charley Michaelson, Ras- | kob’s sabre-toothed publicity man, |the weak point he could attack. . . | At about this point the wuwl it the two Jobs ends. Hamilton, 8 |Kansas lawyer, has no Géneral Motors money of his own which | |he can féed into the party furnace. |He has to go out into the field |and get it. | His job is made pecullarly tough by the fact he can't go to any possible contributor with & promise of what the party policy will be. VAGUE ON PROMISES What can Hamilton do? Many Industrialists would like to see hope |ahead that the corporate surpl | tax will be repealed. Hamilton tah' promise that, because the National | Committee didn’t promise it. | The possibility of Du Pont money | coming to the party rescue hinges {only upon the fact that members |of that famoils powder, chemisal, and automobile family paid out most liberally of all In the Mkt | campaign. 4 Besides, there might be a real family distinction in having had a hand in puiling Both major parties from the brink.
