Washington. March {. (UP)-Se ;tor Willis of Ohio laid down to- day I ten plank platform upon which ln will base his campaign fo {. the republican presidential nomina tion.
 In an exclusive interview with tha | ulted Press. he pledged himseli', among other things. to "stalwart, vigorous. old fashioned American" doctrines Of protective tariff, tax reduction, debt payment. prohipi- ton flood control and independence among 'he nations of the world.
 Unless America takes care of herself. no one else will do so." the thunderous orator declared He is slN feet high in his stocking feet, portly and has an enormous voice.
 We have had enough experience with lnt"rnationatism to be perfect lN certain that the only way to be safe is 10 help other nations wherever We can do so without sur rendering our own principles or in L"rcndence.'
 The big point Willis stresses Is what he calls "an old fashioned William Mckinley republican pro- t"ctive tariff"
 American Worklngmen enjoy prosperity such as is enjoyed no- where else on the round globe" he said. "Thc rate Of wages paid Amer i"an Workingmen is. on the average. several times that paid for s!nlila r employment in other countries. American homes arc better equip- ped, and more of them are owned ny the people who occupy them than is the case with working peo- pie in any other nation.

 Two Voted Against
 After the meeting Councillors Francis w. .Aldrich of Springfield and Pehr Holmes of Worcester. told newspaper men they had voted against Commissioner Williams rec oinmendation to dismiss Registrar Goodwin. Councillor Powers of Bos- ton did not vote. Tine other members ot the council. including Lieutenant Governor Allen. voted approval.
 Soon after the extraordinary coun- c4l session opened Commissioner Williams was called to appear be- fore the councillors and when he en- tered their chamber. he carried q large bundle of papers and news paper clippings. He had already sent to the governor an official mo- ice of Goodwin's dismissal and also a recommendation for the appoint ment of his successor.
 The removal Of the registrar Wuo an outgrowth of q controversy thai reached a high point al a iegislatiy" hearing a few days ago when Good in declared the governor had brok- n faith with state employees. His re- marks were characterized by his su- perior, Commissioner Williams, as nntrue and the action 10 remove him followed yesterday.
 Mr. Goodwin upon being informed "f the councils action said il was q great relief Ito know that l will no longer be followed by detectives, and il is relief also 10 my sons who nave been under d tremendous re atraint because their every action las been watched" The former legistrar said he had not decided on us future.
