Democrats Rally
To Listen Pres.
F. D. Roosevelt
(By The Associated Press)
Washington, April 13, —
To the fanfare of an old
fashioned torchlight pro
cession, President Roose
velt will carry forward his
campaign for reelection
Monday night at a Balti
more Democratic Rally.
Reports are that the Pres
ident’s Baltimore speech
will be but the first of a
great many he will make
before this coming Novem
ber.
Roosevelt, some high
democrats said, plans to
abandon the ancient tradi
tion that a president run
ning for reelection sticks
close to the Whitehouse
and confines himself to a
few speeches.
Instead, it was said, the
president intends to give
virtually every section of
the country and opportun
ity to see and hear him per
sonally in the course of sev
eral big scale speaking
tours, which will include
many ten minute rear plat
form appearances.
It is expected also that he
will go to Philadelphia to
accept the nomination on
the spot the same as he did
at Chicago, four years ago.
Hugh Pierson of

Hugh Pierson, Council
dredge operator, who re
turned to Nome a few days
ago by plane from Seward,
reports that he expects to
have everything in readi
ness in a few weeks to com
mence dredging operations
in the Council area as soon
as the breakup comes.
Anston Dickson, accom
panied Mr.Pierson to Nome
by plane and will go with
him to Council to be engag
ed in the workings there.
They expect to leave for
Council tomorrow via air
plane, it was stated.
Mr. Pierson has high
hopes of turning in another
good dredging season this

lines similar to those pur
sued last year.
