Glen Hearst Taylor (April 12, 1904 – April 28, 1984) was an American politician, entertainer, businessman, and United States Senator from Idaho. He was the vice presidential candidate on the Progressive Party ticket in the 1948 election.〔 Taylor was otherwise a member of the Democratic Party. By one measure Taylor was the second most liberal member of the U.S. Senate (trailing only Wayne Morse of Oregon), and the fourth most liberal member of Congress overall between 1937 and 2002.〔(Is John Kerry A Liberal? ) (accessed January 20, 2012)〕 == Early life == Born in a boarding house in Portland, Oregon, Taylor was the twelfth of thirteen children of Pleasant John Taylor and Olive Higgins Taylor. His father was a wandering preacher, and the family was with him in Portland for a protracted soul-saving meeting. The family homesteaded in north central Idaho near Kooskia, and Taylor attended the public schools. In 1919, after completing the eighth grade, he joined his older brother's stock theater company,〔〔 and between 1926 and 1944, he became the owner and manager of various entertainment enterprises. Taylor was also a country-western singer; his older sister, Lena, became famous as a jazz singer under the name Lee Morse in the 1920s.〔(U.S. Senator Glen H. Taylor (1904–1094) )〕 Taylor was inspired to run for political office by King Camp Gillette's book ''The People's Corporation''〔 and Stuart Chase's 1932 book ''A New Deal''. In 1935 Taylor unsuccessfully attempted to organize a Farmer–Labor Party in Nevada and Montana.〔Pratt, William C. ("Glen H. Taylor: Public Image and Reality" ), ''Pacific Northwest Quarterly'', January 1969. (accessed January 20, 2012)〕
