South Antrim by-election, 1903Craig first stood for Parliament at a by-election in 1903 for the South Antrim constituency, after the sitting Unionist MP William Ellison-Macartney had left the Commons to take up the post of Deputy-Master of the Royal Mint.[2] He defeated a Russellite opponent to win the seat.[3] {{Election box begin ||title=South Antrim by-election, 1903[4]}}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Irish Unionist Party |candidate = Charles Craig |votes = 4,464 |percentage = 55.25 |change = +0.86 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Russellite Unionist |candidate = Samuel Robert Keightley |votes = 3,615 |percentage = 44.75 |change = +44.75 }}{{Election box majority| |votes = 849 |percentage = 10.51 |change = +1.73 }}{{Election box turnout| |votes = 10,236 |percentage = 78.93 |change = +13.86 }}{{Election box hold with party link| |winner = Irish Unionist Party |swing = N/A }}{{Election box end}} Craig held the seat through four subsequent general elections.[5] Antrim constituencyThe South Antrim constituency was abolished for the 1922 general election and Craig was then elected as one of the two MPs for the re-established Antrim constituency, and held that seat until he retired from Parliament at the 1929 general election.[5] Craig was sworn as a member of the Privy Council of Ireland on 5 December 1922,[6] one of two new members admitted on the last day before the Anglo-Irish Treaty came into effect, on 6 December 1922. Although it was never formally abolished, the Irish Privy Council effectively ceased to exist with the creation of the Irish Free State, and on 12 December, ten members were sworn of a new Privy Council of Northern Ireland. Craig was not one of those first appointments, but was appointed on 27 Sep 1923 as the thirteenth member of the Privy Council of Northern Ireland.[6] In the 1922–1924 Conservative Government, led by Bonar Law and then Stanley Baldwin, Curtis was appointed in February 1923 as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Pensions, and held that post until first Labour government took office in January 1924.
