immense majoritles given for all the forty
two amendments to the Ohio constitution

That the woman suffrage amendment is
lost beyond recall seems certain and that
the initiative and referendum ard liquor
license amendments have carried seems
equally certain. but as to the others
there Is much doubt TO their fate, This
is duo to the fact that but few returns
ara possible from the rural sections.
The cities have returns on about two
thirds OF the vote and these figures indi-
cate n battle for most Of the amendments.
but there Is hardly any news from the
country districts. II is possible for this
vote TO change the complexion OF the
result on almost everything except suf-
frage,
Despite the Instructions from the secre-
tary of state to the county election boards
that the vote must be counted tonight,
dozens OF counties have no returns in.
In many cases tho election officials went
home, saying they would count the vote
tomorrow.
The women msde a hard fight in all
tho big cities, but the opposition from
Within their own ranks, the almost solid
alignment OF the saloon vote against them
and the large foreign population OF the
cities downed them. tn tho rural dis
tricts the women Won a partial vic

have been the most popular, II carrying In
