days last night.

arrest on Monday. When he promised
to tell all he knew at 5 p. m. today

parents by that time. authorities
agreed to permit him to rest during
the night. Jail attendants awakened

late yesterday officials who had
been questioning Pasquale, announced
he had sent an ''ultimatum" to his
alleged eenfederates in which he de-
clared if the child was not returned
by s p. m. he would "squeal."
Feverish from loss of sleep, desper-

questioning by two shifts of merciless
police and.in the midst of plea for a
moments rest, the alleged crank
groaned:

While the prisoner has not revealed
the identity of the woman who he

said they were working on important
clues which they believed would lead
to her apprehension.

given him, the first he was permitted

This question has of late been agI-

Incidentally it has revealed certain
qualities Of iek-to-it-iveness in the
Republican candidate for the presi-
deney that some folks had not hfther-
to suspected, as we'll developed the
first real difference among the party
managers since the campaign started.
Pressure on Harding.
In the past week increasing pressure
has been brought to bear on Harding
if not to abandon, at least materially
to modify-his front porch program in
favor of speechmaking tours thruout
the country, especially in states where
votes are most needed.
But so far the candidate has not
been induced to recede to any extent
from his original position. Shortly
after his nomination, Harding an
nouneed his Willingness to deliver
limited number of addresses in i'm
portant centers; but he has repeatedly
turned down suggestions of extensive
whirlwind tours to the accompaniment
of rear platform spellbinding.
Porch Element in Minority.
The front porch element altho de-
cidedly in the minority, has one dis
tinct advantage in the face that the
candidate himself is one of them: but
the anti-front porchers who apparent
" have steadily increased in numbers,
believe they have all The other argu-
ments. The result is bound to be in
teresting as showing just how much
the candidate has to say about the
methods of conducting his own cam
paign.
Anti-front porchers pointed out >ap-
parent lack of popular enthusiasm for
the front porch idea. Altho notifiea-
ton day at Marion was a huge sue
cess, the front porch delegations since
then have been much smaller in size
than had been expected. Wednesdays
delegation from Wayne county was
only half as large as hoped for and
now word is coming in from other
sections from which pilgrifnages had
been planned of the difficulty en-
countered in recruiting a respectable
showing, largely on account of the
present high cost of railroad fares
and its early prospective increase
Some of the leaders in Pressing
their point, have even politely limited
that in insisting upon the people COM
ing to him instead of his going to
them, Senator Harding is overlooking
the fact that this involves an expendi-
ture of time and money inconsistent
with Republican ideas of economy and
increased production.
