...great day approaches, all the candidates' heavy artillery is going into action. For Watkins this means Ezra Taft Benson, Secretary of Agriculture and Member of the Council of Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In Morman Utah the second title is the more important, and an active campaign by Benson might swing an extraordinarily close vote for Watkins. Lee, however, had vigorous Church approval during his terms as Governor, and no religious issue has been raised during the campaign...

What they came to see-retired army officers, shopkeepers, typical British families in holiday clothes-was a rectangular building faced with white Portland stone and topped by a spire sheathed in lead-coated copper: the London Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Today the Mormons, with headquarters in Salt Lake City, own canneries, insurance companies, banks, number among their ruling Twelve Apostles a U.S. Cabinet officer (Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Benson). Members in good standing donate a tenth of their incomes to the church. Five thousand missionaries from...
