The Democratic presidential nomi nee also asserted hta party "will pre . serve for labor Ita rights won through -a, generatlona of hard and unremitting struggle." "My campaign." he said, "has pro ceeded on the basis cf an orderly presentation of the facta and no amount of October hysteria from the other side la going to divert me from orderly presentation of the facts." When the governor observed that "millions of Americans p a a s e d through the problems of the groat war and hundreds of thousands of toem served In magnificent loyal army." a voice out In the crowd shouted.

The preliminary hearing of Ells worth Konkle, arrested on an Invol untary manslaughter charge for the slaying a week ago of Glen Fabric, prominent business man, on a hunt ing trip, was not held this morning as scheduled but postponed until October 2a, the district attorney an nounced. . The postponement was made to provide time for the county surveyor to visit the scene of the tragedy and determine Its exact location. Konkle was released from Jail Saturday on bail of $2000 furnished by his broth-erln-law, D. B. Millard, who was with him when the tragedy occurred, and Mrs. Millard. Investigation of the near shooting Monday of Deputy Sheriff Paul Jen nings in the Wagner Butte section was being continued today by Sher iff Ralph Jennings. It Is probable that the case will be taken before the grand Jury. The shooting oc curred when a hunter, visiting the same lorest section, took young Jen nings for a deer. After firing once he saw Jennings stand up, he Is re ported to have told Sheriff Jennings, and realised he had fired at a man.
