gusto Pasquale, arrested in Egg Har-

crank" made his appeal to his supposed
accomplices to return to his parents
thirteen months old Blakely Coughlin,
who was kidnaped from his crib two
months, ago, but up to tonight there
has been no response to the appeal.
In a supposed confession, given out
by the police, Pasquale said the ab-
ductor was aided by a woman. He met
him on June 2. the day the Coughlin
baby was stolen and planned a “job."
He said it was not the Coughlin ab-
duction. The next day he again met
the man who told him he had stolen
a milionaire’s baby.
“The other fellow and I got the $12,-
006 Coughlin left at Swedeland," Pas-
quale is reported to have said, accord-
ing to the police. “We wanted to re-
trim the baby but the woman refused."
Pasquale was today identified by Mrs.
Wiliam H. Yost, who said she saw him
carrying a baby through Willow Crove,
Pa , on the muring after the kidnaping.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 7.—Announce-
ment of the attitude of the United
States toward the bolsheviki invasion
in Europe and Asia is not expected
until the note addressed to the. Wash-
ington government by Poland has been
received. An interchange of views is
already in progress, however, between
the United States and the French and
British governments, in an attempt,
officials said, to map out a course of
action promising favorable results.
With the threatening political and
economic collapse of Poland and re-
nt tions of similar gravity anticipated
in states adjacent to the new republic,
officials described the situation as ap-
proaching a point where self-interest

Revives German Menace.
The view was expressed that the
threat of a nullification of the victory
over Germany was contained in the
understanding said to exist between
soviet Russia and Germany and that
this offered sufficient provocation for
action by the United States. These of-
ficials took the position that as a

More than 15,000 oil men, farmers
and capitalists from all parts of Texas
and from many parts of the United
States assembled here to hear Senator
Bailey and to attend the two-day cele-
bration of the discovery of oil on the
General Oil Company's holdings south
of Big Spring. Mr. Bailey spoke at
the barbecue and picnic grounds,
where the visitors gathered to witness
automobile races and athletic events.
Because of the fact that his listeners
were forced to stand in the sun. Mr.
Bailey cut short his speech and did not
allude to the labor union issues.
Frequently Cheered.
Despite the fact that he spoke in
competition with the auto races, ths
crowd was large and cheered repeat-
edly as he flayed his poltical enemies
and preached the principles of Demaa-
racy. Among the throng were nMX'.
women and several preachers, but the
bulk of them was composed of farm-
ers and business men.
Mr. Bailey was introduced byR. . „
Debenport, a member of the Baptist
Church, who has been an enthusiastie /
Bailey supporter from the start He
referred to Fat Neff as a man who
speaks at night and apologizes in the *
morning for what he said the night
before. When hecklers attempted to
interrupt he pointed his finger at them
and said: "Let you Baptists roar;
it will be your last roar.”
Aa Mr. Bailey arose to speak he was
greeted by shouts of “Hurrah for the
next Governor.” The demonstra tion
lasted several minutes.
Mr. Bailey devoted much time to hiK
attitude toward the suffrage and prog:
hlbitlon uestions, which he declaredy
had been gtossly misrepresented by,
his opponents.
He bitterly arraigned the oligarchy
of politicians he said is ruling Texas,
and repeated his promise to reduce thei
State’s expenses if elected Governor
by reducing the number of office hold-
ers. He referred to the victory of ths
machine politicians at last Saturday"s a
county conventions as another exampl,
of their contempt for the will of the
people, declaring that if elected Gore
emor he would ignore resolutions u
passed by an anti-Bailey State cooven- j
tion and take his instructions from the
people.
Two Sons in the Trenches.
Referring to the disloyalty charges I
made by his opponents, Mr. Bailey told
how his two only sons had voluntered
for military mervice and served in tbs
army, and declared it was absurd to
say that a man whose children were
on the firing line did not have the
success of his nation at heart.
“They told you I did not buy any
Liberty bonds," he said. “This is an- j
other infamous lie. I bought Liberty
bonds for myself; I bought them for
my wife; I bought them for my two
boys in the service. I borrowed th I
money with which to buy them, and I
kept them until the armistice was
signed before I sold them. Half of thei i
men who are talking about my war
record were young enough to have been
accepted for active military service,
but I was not.”
The charge of his opponents, Mr.
Bailey naid, that he la a woman hater 2
ia another lie. He had been opposed
to woman suffrage, he said, because be
believed the women were too good for
politics and because he believed women ,
had been created to ml the home and
not the land He had been opposed. J
he said, to the politicians who em-
braced suffrage because It was popular j
and dincovered the will of the Texas
people who had voted against it.

He referred to the fist fights be- J
tween women delegates on the floor ,06 - SI

as others in various parts of the line,

of some prisoners. The partial evacu-

BtG SPRINGS, Texas, Aug. 7,-Com-
pleting the first lap of his run-off for
the governorship at Big Springs today
former Senator Bailey will rest up at
Abilene Runday, preparatory to resum-
ing his campaign in northwest Texas.
Monday he speaks at Haskell; Tuesday
at Anson, Wednesday at Lubbock and
Thursday at Plainview. The last two
days of the week probably will find
him near the Rio Grande campaignins
in territory which he was unable to
ranch betore last primary election.
The results of Mr. Bailey’s crusade
in West Texas this week have been
gratifying to him and his friends Who
predict that he will carry nearly this
entire section which favored Thomason
before he was eliminated, wherever ha
has spoken the former Senator ha*
found the Bailey spirit red hot while
the Anti-Bailey forces seem barely luke
warm over Pat Neff and at no place
has there been a lack of evidence of
almost solid support from former
Thomason enthusiasts,
Mr. Bailey's visit to West Texas has
had a two-fold effect. Before the first
primary a large number of voters
didn’t think he had a chance to be in
the run-off and either supported
Thomason or did not vote at alL
Another thing which Bailey has been
able to accomplish is to reach thous-
ands of American party members who
took no part in the Democratic pri-
pary. Many of these will vote for bim
August 28 for they now believe he will
defeat Neff and realize that by failing
to enter the second primary they will
help the political ring which they want
to break up.
The most stubborn opposition Mr.
Bailey has found is among the Bap-
tists and in quarters where the Anti-
Bailey sentiment ia much stronger than
the Pro-Neff sentiment. However, not
all the Baptists will vote for Neff.

BIO SPRINGS, Texas, Aug. 7.—Denouncing as “as infamous
liars” those who have charged him with disloyalty, Senator Bailey, '
speaking at one of the largest gatherings in the history of West
Texas here this afternoon, for the first time in this campaign publicly;
referred to his war record in defense of his patriotism.
“I notice that Dr. Brooks made a speech here the other day and
assailed by war record," he said. “I do not know what he said, but
I do know that they say I was disloyal. I will not debate that with
anyone. The only answer I have for them is that the man who says
I was not loyal is an infamous liar and I don’t care who it is, and
this applies to Dr. Brook* or Pat Neff or anybody else who say* it.
“When a man impeaches your loyalty there is only one answer
for him. The question is not a debatable one. If he says it behind
your back the answer is that he is a liar. If he says it in front of
you the answer is a blow.”
