Senator Harding expressed satisfnc-
tion yesterday in his talk with the
nswspaper men over the attitude that
has been taken by both Senator John
son and Senator Borah in their at
tacks against the League of Nations
that is proposed. He is in accord with
their views, and he finds plenty of evil
dence that they are in harmony with
him.
Persistent efforts to make II appear
that Senator Borah Is disgruntlcd and
that Senator johnson is dissatisfied
have been revealed in recent dispatches
In Democratic newspapers. Harding
says that there is no truth in these
tales, and that they are the usual. and

the enemy.

Borah's support, with what he has said
and what he will say"

As regards johnson. the Republican
candidate happened to have at hand
definite evidence of his accord on the
question of refusal to enter the League
OF Nations. He said:
II have Just received a full steno-
graphic report of the address Senator
johnson made at Los Angeles said
Mr.. Harding in discussing the reports
Of party dissension, 'and it dissipates
ccnclusively any notion that Senator
johnson Is out of harmony with the
platform and the candidate.
SIN his speech Senator johnson re-
peatedly quoted from the League Of
Nations address which / delivered on
August IS. giving his unqualified ap-
proval to it, and in that connection he
made an eloquent appeal for the cleo
ton of Samuel NJ. Shortridgr. the Re
publican candidate for the Senate, from
California, urging the necessity to elect
men to House and Senate who will sup
port the policy Of the Republican party.
''Senator Johnson's speech, with this
generous endorsement of the party 5
platform and my own Interpretation Of
q. brings no surprise to me. More than
hat, IL adds to my confidence that when
we have recorded America against the
+, menace which we were being let in for
we are going to be able TO have Amer
Ica agree on a program which shall hold
us for ever free and still. play our part
IN expressing the new conscience Of
the world" "
