William Jennings Bryan won the state of Utah in the 1896 Presidential election. I am interested if there are any sources that really explain why that is. 1896 was after all the same year that Utah was finally admitted as a state, so it is fairly interesting that that was who the state went for.
Now I understand the basic reason why Utah would vote for Bryan (lots of farmers) I primarily want to know if there was any support for McKinley, or what the Church did during the election for or against either candidate.
