Frank Lane Wolford, was a great lawyer and statesman, known for his persuasive oratory in courtrooms and in Congress. Fellow jurist H.C. Baker of Columbia wrote of him: 'No man ever engaged in a political debate with Wolford when he was in his prime, who did not come out of it second best...He knew how to capture an audience and use it to worry and harass the opposition, and it was seldom that a man who met him in discussion once ever desired to get under his fire again.'
