ment Only One Lost.

Work and the Compulsory Primaries
Ratified-constitutio Now Has For
ty-one New Amendments.

Columbus, o., Sept. 4.-With the
exception of woman suffrage the Ohio
voters yesterday ratified the AZ propos-
ed constitutional amendments. The
initiative and referendum, judicial re-
form, city home rule, minimum wage,
the eight-hour public work and the
compulsory primaries carried by large
majorities.
While the earliest figures on which
this result is based come almost en-
tirely from the larger cities of the
State, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus,
Toledo, and Dayton, it was in those
places where the suffragists waged
their most determined fights, and, pol
iiicians said, the result would not be
changed by the final results. Most OF
the more important of the AZ proposed
amendments, it is believed, will be
carried.

Initiative and Referendum.

The initiative and referendum
amendment provides for 10 per cent of
the voters to initiate a constitutional
amendment, and per cent to initiate
a bill before the legislature. On q
petition of per cent, the voters may
demand the submission of a bill pass
ed by the legislature for approval or
rejection.
Reports from the country precincts
based on estimates rather than actual
counts, were that all of the amend
ments were suffering at the hands of
the voters.
The liquor license proposal in
which great interest was centered
provides that licenses to traffic in liz.
uor shall be granted, subject to laws
that may be enacted by the legislature.
1t does not affect the present liquor
laws.

among the Republican leaders at the

other name on which the factions
may unite with some hope Of victory
"If President Taft fails to carry his

to be nominated. At the same time
he can pave the way for the defeat of
Colonel Roc sevelt. There are enough
