POLITICAL ACTIVITY

In my report year ago to the convention at Cincinnati
reconted the action of the Toledo Convention relative to the
question that should be put the candidates for Governor
and the legislature and the result thereof which that
compelled appeal to the wage of the state to
vote against Frank B. Willis for Governor account of his
Toledo Convention and which follows:
Wll you if elected vote and use your influence
clude Insurance Companies from any form participating
in Worlmens Compensation and eliminating the making of
profits any whatsoever out Of injuries and deaths
of human beings in industry?
"The answer to this question should be yes no.

attempting dodge doubt the of his defeat In
spite of this however he has again nominated for Gov

refused whereupon the Board advised him rather than
