Moral independence.... not conservative.... not policy men.... Hmmmmmmm
And what does "policy men" mean?
"There are those who will suggest to you that in order to be successful in your profession you must be a policy man; you
must at times depart from strict rectitude" (CT 485).
"It reveals the fact that a business man is not necessarily a scheming, policy man" (7T 248).
"Some of these have become dishonest, scheming policy men and are guilty of grave sins" (CH 329).
"There are many who would scorn the appellation of policy men, yet who will stoop to concealment, evasion, and even misrepresentation, to accomplish their purposes. He who, in a matter of right and wrong, remains noncommittal that he may retain the friendship of all; he who seeks to secure by evasion of truth what should be won by courage; he who waits for others to take the lead, when he should go forward himself, and then feels at liberty to censure their course,--all these are in God's sight numbered as deceivers" (ST 8-4-1881).
It seems apparent to me that "policy men" are what we now call politicians.
Since the pro-WO side has repeatedly resorted to misinformation, such as (a) re: the 1881 GC Session, (b) whether GC WP L 45 contains a reference to gender, (c) whether GC WP L 50 contains a reference to gender, (d) whether the 1990 GC Session voted down a WO proposal, and (e) whether the 1995 GC Session voted down a WO proposal, it seems apparent to me that the pro-WO side exhibits characteristics that Ellen White identified as belonging to policy men.
