DEAN HICKS WHITES
BOOK ON POLITICS
John D. Hicks, dean of the col
lege of arts and sciences and pro
fessor of American history at the
university, is the author of "The
Populist Revolt," to be published
next fall. The book is a history of
the Farmer's alliance and the peo
ple's party.
"Farm relief is a hardy peren
nial in American politics." Dean
Hicks says in his book, "The Popu
list Revolt." In it he synthesizes
for the first time the monographic
material that has been accumulat
ing for more than a decade and
gives an account of the interplay
of forces between south and west.
Beginning with a survey of ec
onomic conditions in these areas
aftre the Civil war, he traces
growth of third party activity from
the deflation of the great boom in
the late eighties thru the depres
sion and attendant political agita
tion that lasted until the end of the
1896 campaign when the return of
prosperity at the close of the cen
tury brought about collapse of the
people's party Dean Hicks is also
author of "The Constitutions of
Northwest States."
