Ohio Will Vote ON
SUFFRAGE next fall


By The United Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio Aug. THAT the
voters of Ohio will be given the oppor-
tunlty TO vote ON a woman suffrage
amendment at the general elections ON
November 3, was made certain TODAY
when petitions with more than 100000
names were on file with the secretary of
state, asking for the submission of a
proposed constitutional amendment to
that effect to voters of the common
wealth. The preliminary step in the
suffrage campaign comes as the result
of hard campaigning by an organization
as complete as any ever seen in Ohio. In
every county and township throughout
the state. suffrage workers, with petit
tions, have covered literally every inch
of ground in an effort to procure sigma
lures and swing voters to their side
With the filing of the petitions came
stories of how signatures in many cases
were secured from many who had
hitherto opposed votes for women.
Names were written down in fence cor
ners, on pillow handles. or on streets cars.
One woman told of climbing roof to
get the signature OF two workmen. An
other shoveled grain TO convince far
mer that woman is capable of mans
work. She got the coveted signature.
I'VE are going TO succeed this time, "
is the word passed out today by Mrs.
Harriet Upton Tyler. president of the
Ohio suffrage organization. Two years

committee on buildings and grounds,
has made arrangements to see the
president in the next few days, at
which time plans for passing an ON
nibus public building bill at this ses-

There is little doubt that such a bill
will be soon considered and passed,
and if this is done a number of thriv-
ing Georgia towns will be benefited
thereby.
1t has been some times since there
has been a general bill of this kind
and should the bill be passed this SEES

$4,000 Or $4,000.
