at POLITICIANS MAKE GOOD CHRISTIANS Len Small Says Ho and Len Ought to . Know Tells Why iVJost Notable of Sunday's Kankakee Converts Jives out Interview. "Len" Small, political boss that was and is, "Billy" Sunday's convert that is and will be, today declared that politicians make courageous Christians.
