Difference of Opinion as TO When Ohio
Became state.
There is some doubt rs to the exact
date upon which Ohio became "A State.
Ohio never was separate territory

tory. In 1901 the people living in the
portion OF the Northwest territory now
embraced In the State of Ohio called

ton for the district which had set up
claim to statehood under the provisions
Of the fifth article of the ordinance OF
1887. That convention met In CHILLI
Gothic ON Nov. /, 1902, and on Nov. ~
completed It's work. The constitution
thus framed was not submitted to the
people. but was declared ratified by the
convention itself.
On Feb. II, 1903, the United States
Congress passed an act admitting ONO

which opinions may differ as to tho ex-

They are Nov. 20, 1902, when the con-
stitution was perfected and ratified
Feb. II, 1903. when Congress passed the
