For different reasons, both friends and foes of William R. Campbell agreed on one thing: He was "about the worst man in Utah." A veteran Presbyterian home missionary, Campbell was a pivotal figure in the national crusade (1898-1900) to bar Representative-Elect Brigham Henry Roberts from taking his seat in Congress. In conjunction with the Roberts episode, Campbell also spearheaded an effort to pass an anti-polygamy amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Latter-day Saints viewed Campbell as a tenacious polemicist who denigrated their theology, defamed their integrity, and misrepresented conditions in Utah. [From the article]
