rights Congressmen-m0st Of the
Republicans and half Of the
southern Democrats-admit that
without . federal ballot soldiers
won't vote; and that's what they
want because they think that our
men and women in uniform would
vote for Roosevelt II they had o
chance.
That's what we've got to make
clear to people. The Congressman
who shout about states rights and
constitutionality are just lodging
the issue. They're afraid of the
soldiers vote. They don't want the
men who are giving their lives to
save our democracy to have q
chance to vote on who they'd like
to see making the decisions here at
home.
WHAT TO DO
Just think what that means. Will
Congressman who's afraid to let
our soldiers vote be person who
will vote for their interests-and
the interests Of all the people-in
other things? Will he vote for
adequate funds for educational OPP
portunities for our boys when they
get home? Will he be likely to
help them get unemployment in
surance to tide them over until
they find suitable jobs?
You doubt 1t. I don't blame you.
What can you do? Two things:
1. Find out how your Con-
gresham voted. Write to him
and get your friends to write.
Thank him n he voted for fed
eral ballot. Criticize him II he
voted against Il.
2. Register, get your whole
family to register, and work with
your CLIO political action commit
tee to see that everyone In your
community registers In time to
vote In the primaries and In the
1914 elections for men who really
will represent the people.

Then we'd point out that there

II his state hadn't provided

he'd have the federal ballot.
"It's q double guarantee Of his
right to VOTE" we'd say.
This was invariably the signal
for the Congressman to say, "but
1t isn't constitutional. Voting pro-

would shake his finger or his fist
