“The Oracle” of Utah politics, Dan Jones, died Friday after a prolonged illness at the age of 84.
Born in Ogden and raised on a farm in rural Idaho, Jones went on to teach American government to generations of young people and for decades was recognized as the state’s preeminent pollster, advising senators and congressmen and every governor since Cal Rampton’s 1964 campaign. CONT.
