  • Way We Were November 18, 2015 Thomas Kearns, More Than a Mine Owner Robert Gurss, Museum Volunteer Thomas Kearns May Be Remember
    Way We Were November 18, 2015 Thomas Kearns, More than a Mine Owner Robert Gurss, Museum volunteer Thomas Kearns may be remembered best in Park City as a wealthy mine owner (and namesake of an often clogged roadway). Less well known is his role as a U.S. Senator, newspaper publisher, and thorn in the side of Mormon Church hierarchy. Born in Ontario, Canada in 1862, and raised in Nebraska, Kearns arrived in Park City in 1883. He first worked as mucker in the mines and read geology books at night. Kearns and his partner, David Keith, established several extremely rich mine claims, providing the foundation of their Silver King Coalition Mine Company. Kearns became a millionaire before his 28th birthday. A Republican, Kearns' political career began with his election to the Park City Council in 1895. He was also a delegate to the Utah Constitutional Convention prior to statehood in 1896. At the time, U.S. Senators were elected by state legislatures rather than by popular vote and, in Utah, Mormon leaders could often dictate election results. However, in 1899, the legislature was deadlocked and adjourned without selecting a Senator. Two years later, the legislature tried again and elected Kearns. Though a Catholic, Kearns had the support of Lorenzo Snow, the president of the Mormon Church. Snow supported Kearns rather than Reed Smoot, a church apostle, to placate the national Republican Party, which had strong reservations about a Mormon Church official serving in Congress. There were later allegations that Kearns had gained Snow's support by agreeing to purchase and silence the then strongly anti-Mormon Salt Lake Tribune.

Languages English Historical Note "Brigham Young was the colonizer; Daniel Jackling the mining giant, and Marriner S. Eccles was Utah's premier financial genius," was the introduction to a 1977 Deseret News review of Eccles' then-recently published biography. The biography, Marriner S. Eccles: Private Entrepreneur and Public Servant, as well as a previously published autobiography, Beckoning Frontiers, detail the life of this remarkable man. He became the "principal economic philosopher of the New Deal," according to James Gardner, a professor in the University of Utah's College of Management. Another review of Eccles' biography stated, "The political and institutional principles he advocated and laid down as head of the 'Fed' are the very armature of the legislative structure under which US business and finance now operates." Marriner Eccles, born 9 September 1890, to David Eccles and his second wife, Ellen Stoddard, was the oldest of nine children.

  • The Federalist Society and Movement Conservatism: How a Fractious Coalition on the Right Is Changing Constitutional Law and the Way We Talk and Think About It
    THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY AND MOVEMENT CONSERVATISM: HOW A FRACTIOUS COALITION ON THE RIGHT IS CHANGING CONSTITUTIONAL LAW AND THE WAY WE TALK AND THINK ABOUT IT Jonathan Riehl A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the department of Communication Studies. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: J. Robert Cox Reader: V. William Balthrop Reader: Carole Blair Reader: Sally Greene Reader: Lawrence Grossberg Reader: John Harrison ABSTRACT JONATHAN RIEHL: The Federalist Society and Movement Conservatism: How a Fractious Coalition on the Right Is Changing Constitutional Law And the Way We Talk and Think About It (Under the direction of J. Robert Cox) This study is the first in-depth examination of the Federalist Society, the nation’s preeminent organization of conservative and libertarian lawyers. Founded by a few enterprising young college friends in the early days of the Reagan administration, its participants now number 40,000 lawyers, policymakers, judges, and law students. The Society functions as a forum for debate, intellectual exchange, and engagement between the factions on the right as well as their liberal opponents—hence my use of rhetorical theory. I explore how Federalists have promoted conservative legal theories of interpretation, such as originalism and textualism, and also how have also fueled the broader project of the American right to unmake the liberal consensus on a wide range of legal and social issues from Affirmative Action and race to foreign policy. By serving as a forum for the generation and incubation of conservative legal thought, the Federalist Society has provided an invaluable intellectual proving ground; and with chapters now active at all accredited law schools in the country, the Society is widening its reach and providing a home for aspiring conservative lawyers, whether they seek to go into private practice, public service, or the judiciary.

Its whole theological system, from its conception of the Godhead down, is pervaded with sensualism. The Mormon god is not onlyajustandavengefulgod,butheisalustfulgod.—Burton J. Hendrick, “The Mormon Revival of Polygamy”2 These 375,000 [Mormons] have more political power than any million in the United States because they are a unit. There is little secession among them from the will of their leader, whom they believe divinely appointed to rule them in temporal as well as spiritual affairs. This political force, compact, unreasoning, unpatriotic, un-American, has a curious character, at once sin- ister and serene.
