SEPARATIST ‘8’ WIN THE DAY IN FIRST KUDC ELECTION
This was the first KUDC election following restructuring of local government. This replaced the former Kenilworth Local Board which had began in 1877. Such were these reforms some women were at last allowed to vote (with restrictions). 27 candidates took part in the election.
Polling was generally slow during the day but strong polling from the ladies was reported, which caused much anxiety amongst the Separatist party. After 6pm the labourers polled heavily as well, most of which probably would have been separatist voters. Many carriages and conveyances were used by the conservatives to bring voters to the polling stations. But the separatist supporters, to their credit, worked hard all day long, which in the end, bought them victory. Their campaign headquarters was at the Abbey-Hill schoolrooms.
Of the twelve members elected, only three survived from the old board; Street, Welsh and Bourne. Six were defeated; Hawley, Page, Smith-Tuberville, Wyer, Turner and Brittan.
The Separatist party were fully supported by the Kenilworth Liberal Association, all 8 of their candidates were elected.
There was only 4 spoilt ballot papers, three having voted for too many candidates and one being ‘Indiscriminately crossed about as though a joke’.
For this election three polling stations were used at the National schoolroom at St Nicholas School in School Lane. Having all three polling stations in one building must have been a problem for some voters, especially those living on the outskirts of town. Thankfully, these days polling stations are well spread around the town and within easy walking distance.
Polling was from 8am to 8pm. Counting commenced the following day at 9am and the results were declared at 1.30pm by returning officer, Mr J. J. Willington Wilmshurst, clerk of the KUDC.
