[During general conference] Pres[ident]. Joseph F. Smith presented the General Authorities of the Church. "It is proposed that Joseph F. Smith be sustained as Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, and President of the Church; all in favor, please signify it". Everybody, it seemed voted.
"Those opposed, signify it in the same manner." At this moment, a man sitting about 12 benches from the front, arose and said, "You cannot be a Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, while you are breaking the laws of the land".
Pres[ident]. Smith said, "Sit down".
He continued to say something which I could not understand, and Pres[ident]. Smith beign interrupted in the presentation of the authorities, said--
"Take care of that man."
Three brethren, Bro[ther]. Thomas Dobson, Bro[ther]. James Smith, and Bro[other]. Salmon walked down to the man, and quietly escorted him out. He cried out something several times as he was going out, but I could not understand him. The meeting passed on without further interruption.
