"The major Issue today and for the future or our dpuntry Is, party responsibility," said Mr. Hoover. "I believe that since the signing ot the armistice the present odmln Islratlon has been a fsllure by all the tests we can apply. "No man would be so narrow as to condemn the patriotism or oaalf his fellow countrymen," he alt re viewing the aupport given by the republican party to the winning' of the war adding: "nut with victory accomplished the leader or the dem ocratic party, disregarding this co operation, decided to Ignore one halt or the people of the Unltnn, Htatoe and to maVr? peace alone. "Here f believe lies the begtunln or the fsllure ofthe democratic party In statesmanship." VMRM DEUTE STIRS HO U the various courthouses ot Klamath county we're anlmato their ear would have burned last night when campaign talk was going full blast at Healey school, the occasion being the Parent-Teachers' associa tion meeting held there. Candidates for otflco were given 10 minutes each on tho prcgram and hardly a single sneaker patted up the opportunity to oxprets bis views on tho courthouse situation which was' conceded to be one ot the vital. Issues ot the coming election tor mombera of the county court. A pleasing program by tho school children opened the meeting, the last number being a cantata by the little tots ot the school under the direction X their teacher, Miss Orace Lytle. Miss Fisher had charge ot tho on tertalnmcnt and Introduced tho speakers. County Judge "Hob" Bunnell wns called upon end hu explained tho status of the unfinished courthouses, reading from tho decision rendered by Circuit Judge Hamilton which I snoweu (no "ui opruiKs luutmwy.o to huvo been the only one legally con structed, It also Indicated that funds had been Improperly diverted tor the purposo ot erecting the latest court house on Main streot and decided trom the ovldenco that tho contract entered Into for tho erection of that structure wss null and void. Mr. Uunnell .plead with the voters for a chance to finish his fight to settle the courthouse question In favor of tho Hot Bprlngs buldlng. Fred Peterson, former county school superintendent, stated that the courthouse question was not a real Issue but was merely used to be tuddle'the voters and cloud tho real problems.

Qrlge- SMlt CHID 'HOME BUILD NG HE MOVEMENT IS INCHED HERE RealEstate Men Confer With C of C Representative on Plan for Increasing Hous ing Facilities With the purposes of securing houses under a plan where every family can afford to own Ita own home, .real estate men or the city held the first or a series or group luncheons In co-operation with the chamber or commerce al the Rex eafe yesterday. Later will come meeting of other groups, merchants, lumbermen and bankers, the purpose being to finally ltd all Into an organisation that will provide sites, foundation and capital for home building. Serious problem! hinge so close ly together In relation to the plan that It was apparent that to put It through the combined energy and In telligence ot the community must get aetlrcly behind It. For Instance there li the question ot sewer and water extension. Many available lota are far trom either sewer and water rains. These 'and other matters bring up the question ot city government, city finances and city planning and all In alt present a big problem, which according to figures produced at the luncheon Is as vital as It Is large. Cfcaaaber ot commerce statistics. Introduced by T. L. Stanley, secre tary, showed that Klamath Falls hos lost 800 cltlsens In the past year be cause there were no bouses for them to dwell la. Four hundred men could be used fen manufacturing Industries In Kla math county,. It Vas" asserted, and the SjIMlnjr and other work und.ir way would probably take-cere oMbe3th? er 400. The conclusion; naturally, was thst for lack ot housing accom modations Klamath FalU this year lost the productive and spending value ot 800 families. One realty dealer said that since the tlrst or the yesr bis firm had sold 1800 lots to individuals, who are holding them with a view to building homes when, they a,re fi nancially a(ble. Another man 'report ed the sale of 200 lots in me last month. Apparently here are a num ber ot borne sites only awaiting favorable conditions for improve ment. It Is hoped that the series ot group meetings will result In formulation or a definite plan upon which de. mand can be presented, either to lo cal or foreign capital, tor financial blocking In other words a building and loan association, and that next spring will see 'organization complete and construction of houses under way. Tho details ot the plan remain to be worked out. The only certain feature Is that the homes will be built and sold bn terms which will .enable tho average wage earner to 'meet the payments.

The boslag bouts, uaeer the state law, can' be witnessed by elub members -only, but only about one-third or the registered member ship was there. There were tlve or six three-round contests, all ot them mediocre trom the standpoint ot ability, but they were amusing, and the crowd seem ed to .be satisfied. The main event, billed as a bantamweight affair be tween Kid Drown and "Jimmy" Duf fy, petered out, the duaky Mr. Brown ooxlag out ot the programme Just before It got started. The wrestling march waa Interesting. Several new members were "taken la" at the door but each waa required to pay 11 for a seat, a proceeding aald by the promoter to be "within the law." "Jimmy" Duffy, who was adver tised to appear In the main event. stated to the Herald this morning that he would leave tor Sacramento tomorrow morning, and the pre sumption Is that be Is going there to seek the Jimmy Duffy with the real Duffy reputation, and perhaps ar range tor a bout to see who shall hereafter wear the coveted name, on n "winner take all basis."

After the main discussion the class as a whole took up the different sides ot the attatr and each aril nvety pupil affiliated himself firmly with one aide or the other, aad debate waxed quite hot.
