Карьера
[ редактировать ]He was a working man, then foreman, then master. He was a Justice of the Peace and Magistrate, first in the City of Manchester and then in Cumberland. He took an active part in various educational, social, and political movements. In local politics he was a member of the Liberal backed Progressive Party. He was Chairman of the School Board, Manchester. He had been a Guardian of the Poor. He was a member of a Trades Council. He was Executive Treasurer, Discharged Prisoners’ Aid Society, Manchester. He was a Member of the Executive for seven years of the National Liberal Federation. He had made an inauspicious start to his parliamentary career when he was chosen as the Liberal candidate for Ashton-under-Lyne, near his native Manchester. However, by the time a General Election came along in 1900, he had been replaced as candidate, with a suggestion that he lacked the financial means to serve as an MP.[3] Шесть лет спустя он был избран в парламент, на первой попытке на всеобщих выборах 1906 года, получив Эгремонт от консерваторов.

The Coalition Government 'coupon' was awarded to his Unionist opponent and he finished third.
