Ohio Voters
Keep State IN
w ct Column,

COLUMBUS, o.. Nov. 3.-Ohio
voters rejected the prohibition amend
ment by a majority OF about $4,000.
With all but seven of the So counties
heard from early today and with
3.O44 precincts out of $500, reporting
the wet majority is 59,S76. A year
ago the wet majority was 81. 900.
The stability amendment which
would have prevented the resubmis-
sion Of the dry proposal before 1921,
was showed under in wet and dry
communities alike. and in this victory
the drys see hope for a dry Ohio in
the next few years.
Anti-saloon league officials today
generously gave credit TO William
Jennings Bryan, who made As speech
es in the state last week for the defeat
of the stability amendment and cur
tailment of the wet majority. They
attributed defeat of prohibition to
the fact that a total of not more than
$4,000 votes were cast as against l.
$4,000 a year ago.

WOMEN LOSE OUT
IN PENNSYL VAN|A
UndiSmayed by Defeat Leaders
Will Open New Campaign
at Meeting Tonight.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. A.
Leaders of the suffragists, undismayed
by the defeat of the woman suffrage
amendment in Pennsylvania by ma
iority estimated at IT'S, 600 declared
today that the fight will go on. A
great mass meeting will be held in
Philadelphia tonight when the open
ing gun in the next campaign will be
fired.
Suffrage was the big issue in the
Pennsylvania election, although the
returns show that the republicans
have frightened their grip on the state.
In Philadelphia the republican or
ganization won easily, Thomas B..
Smith being elected mayor over
George d. Porter by a majority esti-
mated at nearly 100000.
The republican victory in Philadel-
phia increases the strength of the Pen
rose faction which led the fight
against the Franklin party and demo-
Gratis.
Analysis of the returns on the suf-
frage measure shows that the great
est opposition came from the coal
mining communities. In the great in
dustrial city Of Pittsburgh, where it
was expected that the suffrage amend
ment would receive the solid support
Of the working men, majority of
approximately 10000 was given
against it.
In addition to the proposed amend
ment granting suffrage to women,
four other amendments to the consti-
tuition were voted on and il is be-
lieved all carried.
-suffragists are jUbilant over the
outcome of the election, particularly
in the eastern part of the state. The
majority against suffrage in Phila-
delphia county is estimated at 100 900.
Charges of fraud nave been made

ton signed by a number Of colored

The Birta of a Nation" is one of the
biggest screen productions being
shown, having exhibited in Chicago

seen by two or more members of the
local censorship committee.
Mayor Keller stated Wednesday
morning that he had never seen the

The contention of the colored people
is that there are some parts Of the
film which are apt TO cause race
prejudice and that it should not be
shown for that reason.
