governor of his state and finally
a senator.
Willis will put un In the next
several months, while Congress Is
adjourned, lecturing and speech -making
throughout I lie country.
He Is a sp'-aker who fills both
eye und ear. Itig, handsome,
forceful and with a voice that
need no microphone to relay It
to tin; farthest corner of a Cliau
tti(a -Kxovt Willis Is expected
by his league adherents to scatter
far and wide geeds of a personal
popularity that will produce a
crop of hardy pro-Willis. pro-
prohlhition fans In time for the
presidential cuutpalKn of 1128.
As a presidential possibility on
a primary prohibition platform
Willis would be expected lo pledge
1 he creation of an independent
enforcement unit, the one and
only job of" which would be to see
that the lhiior lid' was clumped
down anil kept down. One of the
chief bund k-aps to enforcement
form the league's viewpoint. Is
that it is handled by a subordin
ate bureau of a department that
must look utter a lot of other
things besides prohibition.
The grooming of Willis for pos
sible entry In the HH!K contest is
of particular interest because It
brings u second Ohloan Into the
field of likely contenders for the
O. O. p. nomination thin yeur.
