1906 Huddersfield by-election
[1] The constituency returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system.The local Liberal Association selected the 43-year-old temperance campaigner Arthur Sherwell to defend the seat.Liberal candidates in other by-elections had also seen their vote share fall from the party's general election high point.Williams, the Labour candidate, was regarded as a quasi-Marxist socialist and struggled to relate his stances to local trade unionists, who wanted firm policy commitments from him.The Labour Party decided that after two contests, Williams was not a good candidate and so it changed him for another for the next election, only to see their share of the vote drop further.
