Willis Links to Denison Letters Stir Campaign Talks
Republican candidate Willis cites Denison University letters and past speeches by Gov. Cox to attack pro Germanism and call for wartime tariffs. He argues prohibition and the tariff will shape the 1916 gubernatorial race, contending only a strong tariff and barriers to German and Orient products can win the war and secure public interests. He cites W H Johnson and Prof. Johnson as contemporaries in the Denison letters discussion.
