| 释义 |
The Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, 1916 was a parliamentary by-election held in England on 21 February 1916 for the House of Commons constituency of Liverpool East Toxteth. VacancyThe by-election was caused by the appointment of the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), Edward Marshall Hall as the Recorder of Guildford. The Recorder's role as a part-time judge disqualified him from sitting in Parliament, and his acceptance of the post automatically caused a vacancy, and Hall accepted the appointment after checking with the Liverpool Conservatives that a by-election would not be problematic for them.[2] The writ of election for the by-election was moved in the Commons on 10 February by William Bridgeman, the MP for Oswestry.[3] CandidatesThe Conservatives had already selected Captain James Stuart Rankin as their prospective candidate for the next general election.[2] The 36-year-old Rankin,[5] who was then serving in Liverpool with the Royal Field Artillery, was formally adopted on 14 February as the Conservative candidate for the by-election.[6] During World War I, the major political parties had agreed not to contest by-elections when seats held by their respective parties fell vacant, and the Toxteth Liberals accepted Rankin's nomination.[6] They did not nominate a candidate of their own.[6] Since Rankin was the only candidate, he was returned unopposed.[9][10] AftermathAt the next general election, in 1918, Rankin was re-elected unopposed as a Coalition Conservative. He held the seat until he stood down at the 1924 general election,[11][12] References1. ^1 {{cite hansard | house=House of Commons | title=NEW WRITS | url=http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1916/feb/16/new-writs#S5CV0080P0_19160216_HOC_3 | date = 16 February 1916 | column = 59}} [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]2. ^1 2 {{cite news |title = News In Brief.
