GENERAL OTIS IS
SERIOUSLY Ill
Los Angeles Editor Comes
Home From the Orient
a Bed : Ridden Invalid
HURRIED TO SOUTH

General Harrison Gray Otis. proprie-
from the Orient yesterday on the liner
Nippon Maru in a very precarious con-
dition of health. He left Los Angeles
August 29 with a large party of his
fellow townsmen for tour of the Far
East Sickness overlook General Otis
at Manila. He was taken to Japan and
was in a hospital there for more than
month. His health improved during
the voyage across the Pacific until a
few days before the liner reached port
The last attack took a serious form
and yesterday he was barely able to
move. being threatened with pneu-
monia. He. was removed from the liner
to private car, placed at his disposal
by General Manager Calvin of the
Southern Pacific. and is. now on his
way to the southland.
At Honolulu General Otis gave out
the following interview:
While l was in Japan ] was called
upon by high official In the Govern
ment who seemed to be most anxious
to make it appear that there was no
hostility whatever on the part of ia
pan toward America. He seemed very
anxious to impress me with this view.
Particularly did he try to impress me
in regard to the rumor that Japan was
desirous of seizing the Philippines IL
an opportunity should present itself
He refuted the allegation that Japan
was anxious to have the Philippines
for the purpose of expansion.
Why should We be concerned over
the Philippines? he asked. We have
Manchuria, where we can expand to
any degree that we see fit. We have
Korea, with its vast fertile country
but sparsely settled.
His attempts to impress me in re-
gard to the feeling of the Japanese
were so manifestly labored that | could
hardly feel that he was sincere.
In regard to what you tell me about
the plan of President Roosevelt to nat
uralize the Japanese I should certainly
be opposed in every way to any such
thing. For thirty years we have been
preventing the Chinese from coming to
our shores and have not allowed them
to have the privileges of citizenship.
Now it is proposed to allow the Jap
anese this right which we have not al
lowed the Chinese. l am opposed to
that very strongly, as personally l am
of the opinion that the Chinese is
great deal better than the Japanese.

AS Captain Payson of the Santa Fe

approval.

The legislative committee announced

know they are made Of the best of ma
terials with the most conscientious
care.

If nominated and elected, I pledge

I am sincerely in favor of the law pro-

strict enforcement of the same will
eventually remedy the evil of intern

fortune to be nominated and elected,

l am opposed to any action looking

of the present prohibitory law and it's
rigid enforcement. If elected my vote

state politics. I believe the people of
North Dakota are eminently capable
of governing themselves and should
not delegate this authority to any
man or set of men. Home rule and
not gang rule is my platform. Let
the people do the bossing and not the
politician. The surest way to bring
this about is through the primary
election. l therefore favor the ex-
tension of the primary election laws
of this state to cover all state officers
including congressman and U. S. sen.
ators. l am opposed to the re-elec.
ton of Henry G. Hansbrough to the

in economy in the expenditure of pub

opposed and shall oppose any large
expenditure of public money or the
