(Continued From Page One) radio station official and civic worker, were the only candidates who Indicated active interest in the appointment. , They said further that they were influenced by a question as to the technical qualifications of Jacobs, due to the fact that he .registered republican for a day or two Just after the general election. The law required that the appointee as Boivin's suc cessor must be of Boivin's polit ical party for five years previous. SP Man The members of the court said they had questioned Jacobs about the registration matter, and he had frankly discussed it with them. They said Jacobs registered republican in payment of an election wager, and a day or two later re-registcred demo cratic. Jacobs has been a dem ocrat for 22 years, and while there was no question of his in tending to change his permanent party affiliation, court members said the technical question thus raised had required their con sideration. : Craver is a Southern Pacific yard man who came to Klamath county from California in 1926.'

Unhampered Members of the court said, after the appointment, that they had 'seriously considered the field of possibilities for the leg islative appointment, - and felt that Craver is well qualified to handle the legislative Job fairly and Intelligently. They staged they had ques tioned Craver about any special obligations or "strings" which might influence his work as a legislator, and he had assured them he would go to the leg islature unhampered by such considerations and free in every respect to act as his best judg ment and conscience dictated. They quoted him as saying he wants fairly to represent agricul ture, lumber, industry, business and labor in Klamath county. Craver's appointment brings the first change in Klamath county's lower house representa tion since 1934. Representative Henry Semon has served since 1932, and Boivin was elected in 1934. - Both positions will be up for vote in the primary and general elections of 1944.
