RANK AND FILE FOR ROOSEVELT
 DECLARES JUDGE
Holzheimer Says P eopl e Enthusiastically Back of
 President and Program

The rank and file of the Ameri can people are overwhelmingly for Roosevelt and if the campaign of biased viciousness is continued against him by the Hearst papers and like publications he will be Reelected by a greater majority than in the 1892 election.
 This is the message brought back to Juneau by District Attorney Will liam A. Holzheimer, who arrived last night on the North Sea after trip which took him to the Dem ocratic convention in Philadelphia and to many sections throughout the United States.
 Bitter Against UntGir Tactics
 The people are for Roosevelt" emphatically declared Judge Holz- heimer. They are getting extreme ly bitter against the unfair tactics that are being used in an effort to discredit his record in office. One man riding on the train with me through the Middle West, bound for the Coast, told he they can't fool us with the distorted facts that appear in partisan Republican papers and most of us are getting stronger for Roosevelt all the time because of it. He said he had to be careful what he said because of the company he represented, but he told me he was convinced that everyone in his organization with the exception of the head man were lock, stock and barrel for the President"
 Boom in Business
 The Judge went on to say that he found similar condition himself. : The great boom in business activ- ity everywhere has convinced ev- cry one that the Roosevelt program is success and it has brought good times again to the average person, he said. Special privilege and big business, the Judge declared, are bitterly against the President, but aside from those adherentS of the American Liberty League, the peo- pie of the nation appreciate what the President has done and is do- ing to rehabilitate the whole peo- pie.
 Why. if they keep up this cam paign of viciousness, Landon won't be able to muster a corporal's guard of votes," declared the Judge.
 The Democratic convention was the greatest party convention ever held, Judge Holzheimer reported, and it clearly revealed the huge sentiment and confidence of the people in that matchless leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he de- clared.
 Spontaneous Expression
 They talk about that convention being stag ed" commented the Judge, why, that great convention in Philadelphia was nothing more than the spontaneous and enthus- iastic expression of approval from the length and breadth of the land for President Roosevelt and his program, a program that has saved this nation from the ruin the Re- publican regime had left it in. I tell you it was inspirational; it came from the hearts of the Amer ican people, not from the pocket books of the American Liberty League
 But it was not all politics for the President of the Gastineau Channel Baseball League while on his trip East. The local league proxy saw several of the big league teams in action and met many of the big league owners and players. He was the guest of Clark Griffiths of the Washington Senators and met Owner Nugent and Manager Jimmy Wilson of the Philadelphia Nationals.
