Sidney Hillman told House investigators that the CIO PAC obeys laws and aims to get out the vote not to capture a party. He said the group wants a simple federal ballot for service members, support for poll tax abolition, and broad registration, stressing declines in national turnout. He claimed the PAC influenced primaries by defeating some candidates but would not endorse any senatorial or local candidates, leaving such choices to local voters.
