Members of the, county court said Jacobs might be technical ly -disqualified because he reg istered as a republican for a single day. ; . . - This occurred ""on the day after the general . election in November. Jacobs,, who had been a democrat for 22 years, had made an election wager with some one, changed regis tration for a single day, and changed it back the next day to the democratic party. . The registration records show Jacobs' registration card with the word "democratic" written on it, but another word rubbed out. .. .... . , . . - - Jacobs told the court about the incident this week. The law requires that the ap pointee must have been a mem ber of the democratic party for five years prior to the appoint ment, Boivin being a democrat. Hence, a question of Jacobs' technical qualification, has been raised. There is no indication that Jacobs intended to change his party allegiance, but .mere ly changed registration for a day in payment of an election wager. A number of other names are still being mentioned, and the final decision rests with the court.
