Brigham Young was smart enough to prohibit Mormons from mining their mountains and for bringing sugar beets and silk worms to the west. Mormons were smart enough to take care of that annoying Fancher-Baker party in 1857, and they were smart enough to pretend to get rid of polygamy in 1890.
LDS leaders were smart enough to oppose the repeal of Prohibition and the New Deal in the 1930s. LDS voters, however, in these two cases proved to be even smarter.
