Dowling, Eddie,. Oral history interview : New York, N.Y., 1968 May 1.

Title: Oral history interview : New York, N.Y., 1968 May 1.

The interview was conducted by Ruthanna Hindes of the Manuscripts & Archives Department of the then Eleutherian Mills Historical Libary at the Lambs club in New York for the specific purpose of eleucidating Dowling's relationships with John J. Raskob and Pierre S. du Pont, whose papers are among the library's earliest holdings. It was Dowling who introduced Raskob to Al Smith, and thus involved Raskob, formerly a Republican, in national Democratic Party politics. The bonds were formed through their common Catholicism and opposition to Prohibition. With Roosevelt's election and subsequent Repeal, Dowling went with the New Deal, while Smith split with FDR, and Raskob, after trying to find a business-friendly Democratic replacement for Roosevelt through the American Liberty League, eventually returned to the Republicans. Dowling paints a vivid picture of New York City high life in the Roaring Twenties, when Tammany politicians, contractors and other political donors, Broadway celebrities and showgirls all mingled in places like Bill Kenny's Tiger Room, a private nightclub/speakeasy. His narrative also brings out the solidarity of (mostly Irish American) Catholics, the importance of the Church in networking, their defensiveness, and their pride in Smith's 1928 presidential bid, as well as the ease with which millionaires like Raskob could deploy their resources. Dowling describes the candidates and the 1928 presidential campaign, and particularly the 1932 Democratic convention in Chicago, where he orchestrated the entertainment to keep the delegates distracted while deal-makers were lining up votes for FDR. He tells how he pushed through the use of "Happy Days Are Here Again," as Roosevelt's campaign song, over the objections of FDR himself, and of the developing split between himself and FDR on the one hand and Smith and Raskob on the other.
