This month Steirman tried again with Coronet, a 25-year-old offshoot of Esquire, that was put to death in 1961; although it had a monthly circulation of 3,000,000, it was losing big money.

Democratic Governor John Swainson rebuked Scholle, and reminded the public that he himself had been until World War II a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an offshoot of the Mormon Church that admits Negroes to its priesthood.
