		Wheeler was also skeptical of concentrations of power, which was one reason he led the Senate fight to block FDR's attempt to "pack" the Supreme Court, historian Tom Wessel said.

		Yet the man who perhaps outshone all of Montana's senators, both in terms of years served and sponsorship of legislation with enduring impact, was an individual whose name few people today recognize – James E. Murray.
		In 1934, he rode into the Senate on the election coattails of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Montana's popular senior senator, Burton K. Wheeler.
		Murray later parted company with Wheeler, after the senior senator began denouncing Roosevelt's plan to add new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court and the president's advocacy of the anti-German cause during the early years of World War II.
