“One Man Power”

These men, in a turbulent manner pressed their views, hardly giving opportunity for either Elder or Mrs. White, who were both present, to say anything. In their remarks these men often used the expression they “did not believe in one man power.” Finally Elder White obtained the floor, and calmly said to the leading one of the three, “I see you do not believe in one man power unless you can be that one man.” Elder White and his wife openly condemned the course these men proposed in the matter of nominating and electing officers, and endorsed the plan our people were then pursuing.
