| 释义 |
The North Leitrim by-election of 1908 was held on 21 February 1908. The by-election was held due to the resignation of the incumbent Irish Parliamentary MP, Charles Dolan in order to re-fight the constituency on behalf of Sinn Féin. Dolan had quit the Parliamentary Party over dissatisfaction with its recent performance. The party for which he ran, Sinn Féin, was just over two years old and lacked any real financial power. Dolan lost to the Irish Parliamentary candidate Francis Meehan.[1] Sinn Féin ran their campaign from their office on Castle Street in Manorhamilton. Their Director of Elections was Seán Mac Diarmada of Corranmore, Kiltyclogher, who was later a signatory of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic and was executed as one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising.[2] Results{{Election box begin | title=North Leitrim by-election, 1908[3]}}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Irish Parliamentary Party |candidate = Francis Meehan |votes = 3,103 |percentage = 72.8 |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Sinn Féin |candidate = Charles Dolan |votes = 1,157 |percentage = 27.2 |change = }}{{Election box majority| |votes = 1,946 |percentage = |change = }}{{Election box turnout| |votes = 4,335 |percentage = 68.55 |change = }}{{Election box hold |winner = Irish Parliamentary Party |swing = }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^http://www.leighrayment.com/commons.htm {{By-elections to the 28th UK Parliament}}{{Ireland-UK-Parl-by-election-stub}}2. ^http://www.anphoblacht.com/contents/19267 3. ^{{cite news |title=CJ Dolan's original Leitrim Guardian |work=Leitrim Guardian |date=2004 |accessdate=18 August 2017 |url=http://leitrimguardian.ie/2004/First%20LG.pdf}} 4 : 1908 in Ireland|By-elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom in County Leitrim constituencies|1908 elections in the United Kingdom|1900s elections in Ireland |
