Memo on the Mormons
McWilliams, Carey | January 26, 1946 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the world reputation of Utah. Though Utah has little industry and a weak and undeveloped labor movement, the state remained safely in the column of the Democratic Party during the administration of the former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Currently Utah is represented in the Senate by two outstanding New Dealers, Elbert Thomas and Abe Murdock. The author analyses how did Utah come to send such progressive men to the U.S. Senate and to elect to the state Supreme Court an outstanding liberal like Chief Justice James Wolfe?
