they were not philosophic sect and
held NO doctrines In common, the
Sophists were nevertheless skeptics
and maintained a belief of uncer-

The Sophists were charged with
bringing reasoning into contempt by
casting uncertainty over the most
obvious truths and In consequence
were ridiculed and denounced by Aris-

$4,000.
The unusually short time in which
this proposition was initiated makes
a new record In the history Of such un-
dertakings. The executive committee
began the work of securing signatures
on the 25th of April and closed today
the 2Sth day Of May thus securing
the petitions and filing them in thirty.
three days.
The state capital petitions were In
itiated IN sixty days, with all parties
and all colors circulating petitions and
signing them. The grandfather" pc

short time n which the work was done
speaks well for the efficiency Of the

the unanimIty with which the demo.

Much credit for the success Of the
work IS due TO Chairman Branson. who
