Willis gave three reasons why Cox is disqualified for the presidency. First because he was extravagant in Ohio affairs and had doubled the number of 6tate employes there.

Second, because he had opposed suffrage and allowed corruption to exist in the baukiug department of Ohio and third because he Is the avowed candidate of the wets. Willis says Cox used the fact that the Republicans favored suffrage in his campaign several times and Willis says his change of attitude came only when the women got the vote. The Scripps case, where Cox is charged with assisting one of the members of the Scripps-McRay News Syndicate in getting exempted from the draft, was dlscnssed by Willis. He said that this case was a public scandal iu Ohio and was only now becoming known thru the remainder of the country. He said thnt ever since Cox had helped young Scripps, the Scripps papers had been Strong Cox supporters.

ROLLINSindpaL W' 'tra, 137 NORTH TOPEKA AVENUE "Within ten yenrs the Indiwtriul Court iilru will be adopted by three-fourths of the states of the Union," paid former Governor Willis of Ohio in an address at the Forum last night. He pnld a high tribute to Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas and predicted that he would be elected by an overwhelming majority. He also lauded Senator Curtis and Judge It. E.

ISird and urged that they be elected by big majorities. Laboring under the handicap of weariness, which caused him to take longer time than usual for his statements, governor Willis nevertheless made a splendid impression, and delivered one of the most effective and picturesque attacks on the Democratic administration and the league of nations that has ever been heard In Wichita. On account of his intimate acquaintance with Ohio affairs he was nbie to make definite and proven statements against Governor Cox. Proves It On Cos. "State expenses have been mere thatrdoubled since Cox went in," he naid.

-Cox has twice as many officeholders as there were before. This is a matter of record. The present national administration is bud enough. What will it be if Cox gets in? "Cox is undeniably the cnndillate of the wets. There is the proof in black and white." He read the letter of the head of the New Jersey liquor irrteres.

in which it was stated that the "wets won a great victory at San Francisco in the nomination of Cox." He also cited a number of instances from Ohio proving that Cox is the wet candidate, and told bow Cox had obtained draft exemption for Scripps, a Democratic newspaper man whose claims to Exemption had been rejected hy the local board. Passing on to the league of nations issue, lie showed the iniquities of Article Ten. Denounces Article Ten. "Do you fathers and mothers went to have your boys sent to Europe to protect the boundaries between Poland and Czechoslovakia he said. "That is what they will have to do if we sign up under Article Ten.

There never was a tyrant in history that did not want boundary lines made permanent and there never was a liberty-loving people iu history that did not waut boundary lines left as an open question. Article Ten is in the interest of tyranny." Telling of five kings thnt will be represented on the Council of Nine, be said "A Democrat told me the other day that five kings is, too much for any deck." He created a great wave of amuse ment iu the audience by picturing the voting power in the league. "Here we have Kcnador, a country on top of the Andes mountains with a little more than a 'million people, nine- tenths of whom cannot read or write any language on earth. Ecuador has one vote. Here we have Haiti, which is unable to govern Itself and has been mirier the government of the United States Marines for three years.

It has one vote. Here is Siam with one vote. Notice the United States, with 110.0!M).MMJ people is running neck and neck with Ecuador, Haiti and ftiara. The Hedjitzzirs. "And here we have Hedjaz.

Don't know what Hedjaz is? No, it isn't a hair tonic, and it isn't a piece of music. It is a country of a few hundred thousand people all of whom are Mohammedans and polygamists. Here we have Mr. Hedjaz and his wives and a lot of little Uerijazzers Jaxxlu' around. And Hedjuz has' one vote, the same as the Lmted fetates.

The king of Hedjaz has that vote. "Then we come to Great Britain, It has six votes. How many are there in this audlem that think that Ut-pat ftritnin should have fix times ta much power as this country? They used to deny that it would under the league. Now President ilson admits it. And Governor Cox pipes up and says, 'Me, Governor Willis said it was utterly tweless to send a Democrat to from the North, as the Southern Democrats absolutely control sverything that Democrats can control it all, even mider a Democratic No northern Democrat has a ihawe.

"Ton might as well send a irooden man to congress as a from the North," fie said. He irged his hearers to vote for Judge' Bird, saving that only In that way ran this district be really represented the House. A Roosevelt Crowd. The crowd that listened to Willis 8t uljlit was essentially Republican. Erery mention of the name of Eoose-relt brought the; crowd, to its feet and spite of the strained condl.

Governor Willis rould not help but respond to such an uitbuslastie reception of his speech. 3 said that be only wished he might lave been fresh and alert to tell them he troth about many other issues In present enmnnigu.
