Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Man of the People is an incredible novel by first time author, T.
Spencer Adams. It is great reading and could be the text book for
Political Science 101. After carefully developing the title
character, Adams provides a simple insight into what has gone wrong
with the U.S. political system, and what it will take to fix it.
Adams weaves the lesson into a fascinating story about a retired
everyman, J.T. Spencer, who is suddenly thrust into the national
limelight of presidential politics. As the story unfolds, you find
your self worrying not only about our hero, but the fate of our
country as well. J.T. Spencer's presidential campaign was more than
a political phenomenon. It was a clear indication of the level of
social unrest that existed through out the entire country. But
three truly unique circumstances had to come together at the same
time to create the perfect political storm of social rebellion. The
first was the public's pervasive lack of trust in the entire
political system; a distrust that had been building since Watergate
and had reached critical mass during the last two administrations.
The second factor was one of simple technology. The spread of
personal computers and the ever increasing number of people whose
primary source of information was the internet, made possible a new
type of grass roots campaign. The third and final factor was the
intense media scrutiny focused on presidential candidates. Every
aspect of the lives of public figures, especially those who would
aspire to public office and political leadership, was fair game for
the evening news.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
