HARDING APPROVES
 CUMMINS-ESCH BILL
Candidate Speaks to Railroad Men
 Talks About Play

Gallon. O., Aug. 27.-Approval of zation act was voiced by Senator Hard ing today in a speech here to a group of railway employees.
 Saying he was aware that some of the employees were dissatisfied with the measure. he predicted that in the near future the workers would real ize that it was the greatest forward step in all the history of railway leg islation.''
 He did not mention directly the anti-strike provision that was in the railway bill as it passed the senate but he asserted that he stood for a policy that would make continuity of service a government guaranty" and said be also wanted to see rail- waymen given the best of treatment.
 Speaking at a picnic and athlectic tournament of employees of the Erie railway the nominee began his speech by a eulogy to the benefits of play
 '"I am glad to make campaign speech about play he said. "I be- lieve that play, not mere entertain ment, not reading comic strips or passing the time as some say-but real play. play that gives a man or woman chance to express himself or herself as an individual is one of the finest assets in our national life and one of the best builders of character.
 II am making no appeal in this campaign that I will not be willing to have tested by the standards that good competitive sport has set up in all ages and among all fair men. These are the standards of a good ei- tizenship which is willing to play the game. We have had too much en- couragement from Washington given to the man who wanted to cut second base, or get something for nothins."

COX FLAYSG .O P.
 IN N. H. SPEECH
Promises to ''Paralyze Hand
 of Greed"

New Haven, Aug. 27.-A promise to continue his fight to "paralyze the hand of greed, selfshness and cor ruption that is trying to purchase the presidency" was made by Governor Cox, democratic presidential candi- date, soon after his arrival here to- day to open the Connecticut cam paign. And I am confident" he said, speaking to the Young Voters league, that as soon as the facts soak into the understanding of the people their verdict will not be one of disap- prova1 but of stirring indignation"
 Greeted by a large crowd at the station here, the governor walked across a dusty vacant lot to a hotel, where the Young Voters league was in session. After his address. the governor went to another hotel for conferences with party leaders, and prominent citizens. including Prof. IT, wing Fisher of Yale university. an advocate of the League of Nations.
 On his way here from New York Governor Cox made a rear platform address at Stamford declaring one of the issues to be whether we are to have an administration that is pur- chased at a cost of several millions in behalf of a few persons
 lne CanQludte dlSO urged the League of Nations as a measure to keep faith with American soldiers. He denounced a separate peace with Germany and declared it ''the first dent made in the line of the republi- cans.' h'fl ''...
 The crowd gave three cheers for Governor Cox, Mir. Cummings and Representative Lonergan.
 His presence in this city inspired Governor Cox apparently, to discuss educational problems. He said that boys born poor could thank their good fortune. Stating that he had not been fortunate enough to secure college education, he added:
 'I hold a diploma from the school of hard knocks. And I am glad of it. for I believe that one of the re- quirements of the President of the United States is to have had the ex- perience of under man. The under man must do his own fighting. Power full interests and com binations have their representatives at the seat of government but the under man has only his congressman and his presi- dent"
