Willis (1871-1928), a Republican, was governor of Ohio from 1915 to 1917, between the administrations of James Cox. Willis and his party recognized the progressive attitude of their constituents, and incorporated some reforms, such as the eight-hour work day, into the gubernatorial campaign. As governor, he hoped to protect the traditional American free system of government. Willis’ actions were direct and efficient, as, among other things, he updated road laws, restructured the militia, and reorganized the civil service commission. Following his position as governor, Willis went on to represent Ohio in the U. S. Senate.
