White, representing the Ministerialists, won the 1903 by-election for the seat of Musgrave in the Queensland Assembly, replacing William O'Connell who had died in March of that year. He only held the seat until the next year at the 1904 state election when he was defeated by Labour's Charles Nielson.
In 1907, White had his revenge over Nielson and won back the seat. He remained the member for Musgrave until 1915 when he was once again beaten, this time by Thomas Armfield of the Labor Party.
