What the Friends of Col. H..rri.n
Gray Otis Suga~.t

Col. Harrison Graz Otis of the Los Anee-
ies tCah1ofI1~, Times had talk with the
fresia~.it-elect at Canton a few days ago
IN the all-absorbing topic of cabinet max
ing. Col. Otis served in the I'D Regiment
of Ohio Volunteers during the latter part
of the war, with Maj. Mckinley. and has
always been a great admirer of the latter
Both entered the service as private soldiers
and both left the army at the close of the
war as field officers. Col. Otis was prob
ably little too modest to say anything to
the new President as to his own aualifica-
tons for cabinet place. but his friends
who have known him in active business and
political life and have had opportunities of
studying the sterling qualities of the man
feel confident that Maj. Mckinley would
make no mistake if he should give Col
Otis the War portfolio. They add that IL
would be a rather unique incident in history
to see the commander-in-chiefo of all the
armies of the United States and the Score
tary Of War both taken from the ranks of
the volunteer army that saved the nation
in Its hour of danger and would be fit
ting monument to the intelligence and yalor
of the private soldier.
