At the special election held September 21, 1920, upon the forty-one proposals submitted by the constitutional convention there was a very light vote -- about one-sixth of the qualified electors (men and women) going to the polls. Separate ballot boxes were provided for the woman vote -- there being some legal question raised whether women were entitled, at that time, to vote upon constitutional amendments. It will be noted that the vote of the men rejected by a majority of 2,113 Proposal No. 6, permitting the legislature to increase the membership of the senate. The woman vote gave a majority of 4,458 for the measure and it was decided carried. Upon each of the other propositions both the man vote and the woman vote gave a majority in favor.
The following tabulation gives separately the vote of the men and women and the combined vote:
