William Henry King (June

3, 1863 – November 27, 1949) was an American

lawyer, politician, and jurist from Salt Lake City,

Utah. As a

Democrat, King represented Utah in the United States Senate from 1917 until 1941.

King was born in Fillmore,

Utah

Territory to Josephine (née Henry) and William King.[1] He graduated from Brigham Young Academy in Provo, Utah

and attended the University of Deseret (now University of Utah)

in Salt Lake

City. He served as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day

Saints in Great Britain from 1880 to 1883. After holding local

offices and serving two terms in the territorial legislature, he graduated from

the law department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. He

later joined the Utah bar and practiced law. He held other territorial offices

and was appointed as an associate justice of the Utah Supreme Court, serving between 1894 and

1896. After Utah became a state in 1896, King was elected to the United States House of

Representatives and served in the 55th Congress from March

4, 1897 to March 3, 1899. He was not nominated for a second term, but when his

replacement, B. H. Roberts, was denied his seat because he

was a polygamist,

King was elected to complete Roberts's term. He served from April 2, 1900 to

March 3, 1901. He ran for the same position in 1900

and again in 1902,

but lost both times. King was elected to the United States Senate four times,

serving between March 4, 1917 and January 3, 1941. He failed to win

renomination in 1940. In 1918 and 1919, he served on the Overman

Committee, which investigated seditious pro-German activity during

World War I and Bolshevik-inspired anti-Americanism in the months following

the war's end. He served as the President pro

tempore of the Senate from 1940-41 during the 76th Congress. King

remained in Washington, D.C., where he practiced law until April 1947. He

returned to Utah and died there in 1949.
