1928 Epsom by-election

The 1928 Epsom by-election was a parliamentary by-election for the British House of Commons constituency of Epsom, Surrey on 4 July 1928. The by-election was caused by the resignation of the sitting Unionist MP, Sir Rowland Blades. He had been MP here since winning the seat in 1918. Polling Day was set for 4 July 1928.

Election history

Epsom had been created in 1885 and won by a Unionist at every election since. The Unionists even won comfortably in 1923, when there was no Liberal candidate standing. The result at the last General Election was

Candidates

The Epsom Unionist Association chose 41-year-old Comdr. Archibald Southby as their candidate to defend the seat. He served in the Royal Navy and, in the period following the First World War, took part in the demilitarisation of Heligoland.[2]

The Epsom Constituency Labour Party selected Helen Keynes as their candidate to challenge for the seat. She was a member of the Fabian Society.[3]

The Epsom Liberal Association, who had not put forward a candidate since the General election of January 1910, intervened with Samuel Parnell Kerr as their candidate. He had twice contested the neighbouring seat of Guildford, coming second in 1923 and third in 1924. He had been Private Secretary to the leading Liberal, Sir Herbert Samuel and the Insurance Commission. He was a Barrister.[4]

Result

The Unionists held the seat, but the feature of the result was the Liberals pushing Labour into third place.
