Toledo Homes

Members of the steering
committee of the Labor and

a meeting last week made
plans for a house-to-house
canvass of Toledo and Lucas

get out the vote. The announce

this week by Richard Gosser,
UAW-CIO vice-president who is
t e m porary chairman of the

Mr.. Gosser d e clare d that
LCPC would conduct a vigorous
campaign to have people register
and take part in the primary
election and would continue its
campaign following the May 4
balloting to insure a large voter
turnout in November.
1T is not enough for the
people to vote in the final cleo
ton. They should also vote in
the primaries in order to have
their say about who the candi-
dates are going to be in Novem-
Der. Unless they do this, they are
liable to get people on the ballot
whom they would not have
wanted in the May election"
he said.
PAC To Work
The policy stated d by MIR.
Gosser is in line with the policy
expressed by the national and
state PAC organizations which is
working on plans for seeing
every voter and asking them to.
register and vote. PAC in Toledo
is working in conjunction with
the LCPC and will give its sup
port to the get-out-the-vote cam
paign according to Clayton n
Rusch, CIO legislative repre-
sentative.

dorsements of candidates have
