ANOTHER MIXED-UP ELECTION FOR VOTERS
With four seats available, three of the present members put themselves forward for re-election, messrs; Hodges, Nelson and Bourne. One other, Margetts, replaced Middleton who was leaving the council but he came bottom of the poll. All the above candidates were supported by the complicated ‘compromise agreement’ between the Unionists and Liberal Associations.
However, not all candidates agreed with the compromise. John Welsh was a staunch Conservative and Edward Lee, a Liberal, so both stood as Independents, along with Richard Eykyn, whose political views where un-known. For the voters it was a very confusing, indeed.
Influenza in the town, plus the political shenanigans, were the possible causes of the lower than expected poll. But a turnout of 65% wasn’t too bad.
Polling lasted for 12 hours between 8am and 8pm. Results were declared at around 11pm by acting returning officer, Mr. J. J. Willington-Wilmshurst.
