https://www.jstor.org/stable/45228584?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contentsThis is a 27 page article from Dialogue by Gary Bergera, about Ernie Wilkinson's lead up to and run for the US Senate from Utah in 1964. It gets pretty deep into the weeds, but will give you a good background on ETB and the Mormon hierarchy mid-20th century.
Incidentally, Ernie, though a good Republican and president of BYU, lost to Dem. Frank Moss. There was a time when Dems pretty regularly got elected to statewide office in Utah. The two main courthouses in SLC are named after Scott Matheson and Frank Moss. Cal Rampton was also a D Governor, though I don't know if anything is named after him. Anyway, once upon a time.....
ETA: Utah DOT building, Dept of Public Safety, the Salt Palace Convention Center, and a boardroom at the state capitol are all named after Cal Rampton. I need to pay better attention. :-/
