OHIO IS LEADER
 AS PROGRESSIVE
WOMAN SUFFRAGE ONLY THING NOT RATIFIED AT STATE
 ELECTION.

Columbus, Sept. EOhio has taken front rank among progressive states of the union. With the exception of woman suffrage and possibly one or two minor amendments, the entire work of the constitutional convention appeared, today, to have been ratified by the people in yesterdays special election. With only about 50 percent of the vote of the state boiled, indi- cations at o'clock were that the inf- tiative and referendum, home rule for cities, minimum wage, judicial reform, statewide primaries, taxation reform, good roads and liquor license were adopted by pIuralities ranging from 10000 to 6O,OO0.
 Womans suffrage was defeated by about 5O,OO0. It is believed that the amendment providing statewide pri- maries will have the largest plurality with minimum wage second, home rule third, liquor license fourth and then the initiative and referendum. Spe- cial privilege made it's hardest fight against the initiative and referendum and home rule. Tons of literature were distributed again both.
