XX [From the inner flaps] "In the Foreword, Harry Elmer Barnes says: "Democracy is now groggy in the United States. This book tells why. It is absorbingly interesting reading—one of the most amazing exposures of alleged economic exploitation, political chicanery, financial graft and moral hypocrisy that I have ever read. It revives the best in the style and material of the glorious age of the Muckrakers. "It is no exaggeration to declare that this book is of international significance, not only because of the forces it analyzes and the trends it forecasts, but also because of the personalities which emerge from its pages. "No more significant book has been published on American public affairs since the appearance of Lincoln Steffens' The Shame of the Cities." The personalities mentioned by Dr. Barnes include such national figures as Alfred M. Landon, Senator Arthur Capper, William Allen White, Henry J. Allen, Secretary of War Woodring, Republican National Chairman John Hamilton, and others of both political parties. Mr. Clugston's penetrating analysis of the workings of the democratic system in the most purely agricultural section of the country reveals the way in which small groups of self-seeking individuals thwart the progress of the people toward the goals of their cherished ideals. This account of the prostitution of democratic ideals in "Holy Kansas" and the Middle West provides the basis for a provocative discussion of the dangers which are now threatening popular government in every state. XX THE AUTHOR: "W. G. Clugston is a lawyer by training and a journalist by profession. For more than twenty years he has been a student of American politics and has frequently contributed to The Nation, the New York Sunday Times, the Baltimore Sun, The American Mercury and other publications. Dr. Barnes writes: "I know that Mr. Clugston is a man whose personal reputation for integrity, information and fairness is conceded, even by his enemies, to be unimpeachable. He is not a young fly-by-night reporter, but a man of substance and of high professional standing which he cannot afford to undermine. "The promoters of the proposed Kansas Encyclopedia report that 'Clugston's sources are largely in the files of corporation counsels and court proceedings, and he has spent seventeen years in this research.' "Henry L. Mencken wrote me: 'My opinion of Clugston is very high, though I don't agree with his politics. I haven't the slightest doubt of his honesty, integrity and competence.'".…
