Wheeler, Burton K

    0.04 sec.

Wheeler, Burton K(endall) (1882–1975)

US politician. He was federal district attorney for Montana (1913–18). A Democrat serving Montana, he was elected to the US Senate (1934–47), where he was an outspoken progressive in the 1920s and helped expose the scandals of President Warren Harding's administration. He grew more conservative in the 1930s, leading the fight against President Franklin Roosevelt's ‘court packing’ plan in 1937 and against US intervention in World War II.

Wheeler was born in Hudson, Massachusetts. After gaining a law degree from the University of Michigan in 1905, he began to practice law in Butte, Montana (1906–11). After losing the election of 1946, he returned to private law practice in Montana.
