Getting Out The Vote

Registration is pretty much over as this Is
sue Of the CIO NEWS goes to press. The fig
ures are encouraging. They show that despite
the absence of millions of young people in the
armed forces despite the moving around of
millions of war workers, the people are
determined to do their part November 7.
Much credit is due to CIO and CIO-PAC for
moblizing the people to vote. This they have
done as a public service not inquiring how
each citizen intends to vote once he has regis
tered.
1t is we'll recognized that big vote will be
a vote for President Roosevelt and light vote

FDR's foreign policy, the record of the New
Deal over the past II years, the fact that
Dewey and the COP have nothing but isolation
ism and hunger to offer the nation have given
FDR the support and enthusiasm of the people.
But enthusiasm IL not enough, nor Is sup.
port concrete unless it Is translated into
votes on November !. The same patriotic job
that CIO and CIO-PAC have done In turning

out big registration must be repeated In
turning out an equally big vote on election
day.
Every worker and every citizen who loves
his country will make this job of helping to get
out the vote his major assignment between now
and November Z. This is more than simply a
matter of each man and woman determining
to cast his or her own individual ballot.
This Is the most important crisis America
has faced since 1864, when Lincoln, Command
er-in-C Chief and President, ran for reelection in
the midst of great war. The people of Ameri-
ca voted to retain their Commander in Chief
then, in time Of great national crisis. They
will vote to retain their Commander Chief
in time of equal emergency now-and must
vote In unprecedented numbers to make sure of
retaining him.
1t will be the duty and privilege of every
American next November Z, as it was 80 years
ago. to vote and to help his neighbor and his
fellow citizen to vote.
The CIO news., 1944-10-23

War production has gone far to show that
there are very few "men's jobs" that women
can't do.
Next November z, there's Job women
must do that matches and even outweighs the
task for the men on that day. This Is the job
of getting out huge vote for FDR.
According to Mrs. Verda Barnes, director
Of the Womens Division of CIO-PAC. it's q
matter of simple arithmetic; women voters
this year outnumber men voters. Here are some
of the figures:
The total OF adults Of voting age Is 3d.
100000. Ten million can't vote due to the
poIItax, leaving 7S,5OO0OO. or these, about
5,5OO,OO0 men In the armed forces won't be
able to vote, due to Dewey-GOP refusal TO
allow them.
