Guaranteed by the makers Save the wrappers WILL PROD THE VOTERS TO POLLS NEXT NOVEMBER Manufacturers and Business Will Urge Careless Citizens to Exer cise Privilege. Half of the qualified voters of Ne braska and other slates who went (ranting or otherwise disported them- j selves on election day in 1922 are to be prodded next November into be lated recognitions of their civic rights and obligations by the manu facturers of those states. An elaborate campaign to get out the vote, with manufacturers and business men beating the bushes for; stragglers, was outlined here by the National Manufacturers' association.! More than 100 thousand members, several thousand of whom are in the Corn h usker state, have been request-1 ed to start immediately to interest: the voters in the issues of the cam-, paign. According to representatives of the association, the effort will be nonpartisan and in the "broad spirit of urging every Nebraskan enjoying; the franchise to go to the polls and vote." John B. Kdgerton, president of the association, declared that "if the peo ple all would vote there need be no' fear of radicalism or bolshevism, aSj the overwhelming number of con servative Americans would overhal-j ance a radical move, no matter how ' intelligently directed." National organizations of all kinds will be urged to throw themselves into the campaign with the view of bringing about an election that will "be truly representative of the will of the people." Chamber of Commerce, Rotary' and Kiwanis clubs, merchants' and manufacturers' groups, as well as re-i ligious and fraternal organizations.' are expected to take the lead in this, plan to induce the stay-at-homes, to vote for president. It is learned that this campaign was mapped out at a conference held here several months ago. which had before it an analysis of election re turn? for 1920 and 1922, indicating' that each year the American voters i are giving less and less attention to the selection of office holders. Mr. Edgerton is advising the mem bers of the Manufacturers' associa tion that if they do their part they need have no fear of the result whenj i ne iiaiioii goes io me TDung booths.
