Colonel Harrison Gray Otis Of the Los An
geles Times is not only an up-to-date editor,
but an upto-date politician. says the San Fran
cisco Bulletin. Recently prominent Eastern
journal nominated Colonel Otis for the Vice
Presidency on the Republican ticket. A man
with less capacity than Colonel Otis possesses
to look into the political grindstone would
have plumed himself on the nomination. But
our Los Angeles friend is not in the least
thrown of his balance. He says in an inter-
view that Vice Presidential nomination
would do the Pacific Coast little good, but
would prevent the selection of a Cabinet OFF,
Ger from this coast. 1t is not often that man
thinks OF his State before he thinks of himself,
but In this case Colonel Otis seems to have
done so.
