This collection of papers relates the long and successful career of Elizabeth A. Vance in local, state and national Democratic Party politics. It is more than a personal history of Mrs. Vance’s political activities, however. It is also a chapter in the history of the Democratic Party in Weber County and the state of Utah since World War II.

This collection contains a transcription of a taped interview with Frank Franics, Jr. on July 24,

1980. The interview was made by Pat Buchanan for the Weber State College oral history

collection and contains some history of the Democratic Party in Weber County, Utah.

This collection consists of two official election ballots for the state of Utah and Weber County,

1934 and 1938; one sample ballot for Legislative District #4, n.d.; and a sheet of photographs of

Democratic candidates, 1938. Donated by Weber County Clerk Wendell Hansen, 1982. Mr.

Hansen has stated that these ballots were the only ones saved in the Weber County Clerk’s

office. Located in the manuscript oversize drawer.
