RESULT OF
OHIO ELECTION
Vote on Constitutional Amendments
Show all to Have Carried
But Few,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 4.-Ohio
has taken front rank among progress
siye states of the union. With the ex-
ception of woman suffrage and pos
sibly one Or two minor amendments,
the entire work of the constitutional
convention appeared today to have
been ratified by the people in yester-
days special election. With only
about fifty per cent of the vote of the
state polled, indications at s o'clock
were that the initiative and referen-
dun, home rule for cities, minimum
wage, judicial reform, state wide pri-
marles taxation reform, good roads
and liquor license were adopted by
pluralities ranging from 10000 to CO.,
UV0.
Woman suffrage was defeated by
about $4,000. 1t is believed that the
amendment providing state wide pri-
maries will have the largest plurality
with minimum wage second, home
rule third, liquor license fourth, and
then the initiative and referendum.
Special privilege made its hardest
fight against the initiative and refer
endum and home rule. Tons of liter
ature was distributed against both
and attempts We're made to line up the
so-called business interest" of the
state against them.
Returns from 1928 precincts out of
total of 5,197 in Ohio gave the in
itiatiye and referendum 1850 to S4,-
100 against and home rule 14S,6S7 to
71,129 against.

JACKSON, Mich, Sept. with
five companies of militia encamped In
the prison yard and the whipping post
re-established, jackson prison, the
scene of convict riots for the past five
days, was comparatively quiet today
Since the final riot OF yesterday,
when fifty prisoners broke out of the
bull pen and rushed the kitchen and
factory, no outbreaks have occurred.
State soldiers are guarding the cells
and the walls OF the prison. Todas
each prisoner was asked IL he would
|go to work. Those that consented went
to the factory. Those who were stub
born and refused were chained in
their cells and 1t is expected will be
punished at the whipping post. The
prison board today believes that they
have dealt leniently with the prison
ers heretofore and today Warden
Simpson has full power to use what
ever measures he may deem neces.
sary to keep order.
That the state troops now on guard
dominate the situation Is shown by
the fact that since they appeared yes
terday there has been no outbreak Of
any Importance. They have been
successful in silencing the rebellious
prisoners in their cells also.
About three hundreds convicts who
have been locked in their cells since
the first outbreak occurred returned
to work today. The chair factory and
canning factory were put in opera
ton. There are from fifty to one hun
Idred prisoners who absolutely refused
today to return to work. These men
will be fogged. Simpson still fears a
fire Or dynamite plot. The binder
twine factory, equipped with thous
ands Of dollars worth of valuable ma
chinery still remains idle. In 1t are
stored tons of binder twine. The
authorities fear that If 1t was reopen
ed some of the convicts might fire it

NURSE BLACK EYE
Not a Single County in Ohio is
in Favor Of Votes for
Women.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.l
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 4.-The
voters in Ohio, in yesterdays election,
decisively defeated the woman suf-
frage amendment.
incomplete returns did not show
single county that gave the amend
ment majority OF the vote cast upon
it.
1t was in the large cities where the
liquor interests are powerful, that
woman suffrage received it's hardest
blow Literature distributed by the
liberal interests just prior to the elec-
tion urged their friends to vote for
license and against woman suffrage
On the other hand, the "drys" gener-
(ally throughout the state supported
the amendment.
Suffrage leaders today conceded de-
feat by fifty thousand, but they were
far from discouraged and it was an
nounced at headquarters here that the
campaign would be reopened at once
and that the initiative and referen-
dunn would be used In a second effort
to secure the ballot for women.
The fight for equal suffrage in
Ohio took on national significance
during the final days of the campaign,
owing to the invasion of the state OF
practically every prominent suffrage
orator in the United States. DR.. Anna
Shaw and Mrs. Harriet Staunton
Blatch were among the national lead
ers who campaigned. Militant tactics
were absent in the campaign, the
women conflning their efforts to "ed
ucating. the voters through literature
and oratory.
