Abstract
"In spite of their temperamental independence, their occasional susceptibility to bribery and influence, the Populist legislators of 1897 will not suffer greatly by comparison with their contemporaries, while in Governor Rogers the party gave to the state a great leader, deserving of lasting recognition for his courage, his integrity and his devotion to the cause of the common man."
