The ADL's report, "Anti-Semitism in the United States in 1947," reported soon after this that "Dewey McKinley Taft, a small-fry anti-Semite for many years, had almost no following and seemed to have given up control of (truncated) Englewood Forum. He frequently dropped publication responsibilities of one insignificant newspaper in order to create another, his last being The Suburban Citizen, which he published in Sheridan, Col." (p. 50).
