CINCINNATI, Oct. 9.-In Southern
Ohio the weather is favorable to a full
turn out of voters. So far as heard
from here the polls are the heaviest
in the Republican wards. As to how
the vote will go no one can do more
than guess, as the ballot is secret and
no counting is done until after p. m.
Women have appeared at some of the
polling places, working for the second
amendment, and ministers and prom
lnent church members are also attend
ing the polls for the same purpose.
The Democrat tickets are printed with
the vote. against the amendment,
and the Republican ticket is printed
with yes and no, so that a
person desiring to vote for it must

likely that the amendment will re-
ceive anything near majority in
this county, but will get a much
larger vote than the ProhibitioniSts
usually poll. Owing to the length of
the ticket and numerous scratching,
the reports to night will be late and
incomplete.

hibition. A large majority against
both amendments IS probable here.

vote has been polled in this county
to-day. Only five precincts, heard
from at 10 p. m., give a net Republi-
can gain of 2O2. Both parties claim the

1t will be small, probably not exceed
400. The Republicans report large
