PITTSBURGH Oct. 4.-That Amer

1t was her wish that the pin be
sold and the money spent in assuring
the election of Cox as President and

. BORAHsTAND
Candidate Approves Senator's
Anti-League Utterances and
Johnson's Speech.

MARION, Ohio. Oct. A-Press re-
ports of a break between Senator
Harding and leading irreconcilables
over the treaty issue again were de-
MED today by the Republican Presi-
Dental nominee. Mr.. Harding said
he had received detailed information
of public speeches by irreconcllable
Senators and had found in them no
lack of harmony with his own views.
IL approve what Senator Borah
has said in his public addresses" said
Senator Harding. HE will continue
to make speeches for the Republican
ticket, and / am cure I shall approve
also what he says TO the voters in
the future.
II have just received a full steno-
graphic report of the address Of
Senator Johnson, made at Los Angeles
Sept: 20. 1t dissipates conclusively
any notion that Senator Johnson is
out of harmony with the platform and
the candidate.
Senator johnson repeatedly quoted
from the League Of Nations address
which delivered on August 2, giving
his unqualified approval of it. His
speech. with this generous indorse-
ment of the party's platform and my
own Interpretation of II, brings no
surprise to me.
More than that. it adds to my con-
fidence that when we have recorded
America against the menace which we
were being let in for we are going to
be able to have America agree on a
program which shall hold us forever
free and still play our part in express
ing the new conscience of the world"
