After reading the book I still had a lot of trouble understanding the
life of John B. Rayner.  I could use some help from if anyone can
answer these questions for me.  I need help finding information about
the life of John B. Rayner.  I need to also find out what kind of
influence his father, Kenneth Rayner passed on to him.  In addition if
you could explain why the Populist Party was created in Texas and who
were the main leaders. What methods did John B. Rayner use to weaken
the mainstream Democratic Party in Texas between 1885 and 1910 and the
last thing i need help with is to explain two aphorisms written by
John B. Rayner what he meant when he wrote them.
