With somemore digging you will realize the Manifesto was not much more than a carefully crafted political document (not a revelation) which was designed in an attempt to "beat the devil at his own game" and remove pressure from the church. WW believed the 2nd coming was imminent. All but one or two of the 1st presidency and twelve took additional wives after the manifesto for years thereafter. Notice that marrying them in canada, Mexico, or in international waters was a loop-hole, and that is where most took place. Still some marriages took place in the states. Plural marriages finally started to come to a halt even by the heirarchy after 1905 when JFS was caught lying under oath before the U.S. senate, claiming polygamous marriages had ceased. This article you cited is a must read on the topic of post-manifesto polygamy and the politics involved.
