Belfast North by-election, 1907
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Belfast North by-election of 1907 was held on 17 April 1907. The by-election was held due to the death of the incumbent Irish Unionist MP, Daniel Dixon. It was won by the Irish Unionist candidate George Smith Clark.[1] North Belfast had previously been a marginal seat with the Labour candidate, William Walker, coming within 500 votes of winning on the two previous occasions. In order to win over Protestant votes, Walker made clear that he was opposed to Home Rule
