Il is stated that the Democrats will op-

submitted to the Ohio voters this fall, al
though it has been taken for granted that
all parties favored thep. They provide
for the election OF all state officers in even
numbered YEAR,, leaving the odd-num-
bered years for the election Of county Of
fcers and also for the election Of men,
bers OF the Legislature by districts and
not by counties as il now the
custom. The only political ad-
vantage that could accrue to the Demo-
Gratis from the defeat Of the amendments
would be that the governor chosen this fall
would serve only two years. The amend
ments provide that he shall .erve for
three years in order to bring the election
Of his successor in an eyen-numbered
