"REACTIONARIES"

No Retreat Is Keynote of Policy of Present
 Administration

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. Renewing his assault on those he { m e d "reactiOnaries," President Franklin D. ROOse- welt signalled the formal 0p- ening of the Democratic Pres idential campaign last night with an indirect appeal for support of voters of all "poli- tical affiliations"
 Projecting his voice into hundreds of Jackson Day din- ner rallies throughout the country, the President assert ed that the most recent lan- guage of the Supreme Court would affect the lives of A m e ricans for years to come"
 The President concluded his brief reference to the high courts overthrow of the AAA without offering any immediate substitute, but, earlier in his address, he as- serted that the "basic issue" of the 1886 campaign will be the retention of popular gov ernment."
 No Retreat
 Applause all but drowned his concluding words: "We will not retreat"
 A 7O-second ovation greet ed the President as he rose to spe a k directly to 2,OOO Democratic leaders.
 The Chief Executive urged an effort by all voters to get "at the truth behind the smoke of charges or counter charges of the national cam- paign."
 The President from time to tune hit at "musty reaction and outworn traditionalism" asserting that no party of re- acton could meet the temper of the people.
 Are Grateful
 Referring briefly to his an, nual message to Congress. President Roosevelt said he had received a great many messages from people regard, ng it.
 "The gist of their mes- 'ages to me is that they ap- oreciate and are grateful for my statement that it is but 3 minority in business fi- nance that would gang up against the peoples liberties" he said. "I reiterate that as- sertion tonight. By far the greater part of the business men, industrialists and other employers of the Nation seek 10 special advantage. They seek only an equal opportun- ty to share the benefits and obligations of the Govern nent.
 Square, Better Deal
 T am naturally grateful for this support and for the understanding on their part hat the Government of the United States seeks to give hem a square deal and a better deal, and seeks to nro- .ect them, to save them from being plowed under by that
