  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Science, Technology, History, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

In light of the prior photo with figures from the Youngstown, Ohio steel strikes and the National Guard, this is likely Ohio Governor Frank B. Willis, who ordered 3 regiments to Youngstown on January 8, 1916 to deal with the violent situation there. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30916FC3B5B1773... Willis' entry at politicalgraveyard.com: Willis, Frank Bartlett (1871-1928) — also known as Frank B. Willis — of Delaware, Delaware County, Ohio.

@artolog: The Ohio Historical Society agrees with you. See www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/File:Willis,_Frank.jpg for the same photo from their collection of his papers.
