Liberal Party (Utah)
Videos
The Liberal Party was a political party established in the latter half of the 1800s in Utah Territory before the national Democrats and Republicans established themselves in Utah in the early 1890s.
The Liberal Party believed the economic future of Utah Territory lay in mining, and Utah miners, typically non-Mormon, often became key Liberal Party voters.
The Deseret Evening News, owned by the LDS Church, served as the de facto People's Party organ and regularly denounced the Liberal Party in its pages.
