Description:This is from the Birmingham Gazette of November 17th 1922. The Handsworth result is in the third column along with the rest of the Birmingham results. It reads: Commander Oliver Locker Lampson (Conservative): 18,859 Norman Tiptaft (Independent): 12,790 Tory Majority: 6,069 The added information tells us that the total electorate was 38,026 of which 16,264 were female. This information is listed because the emergence of the female vote was still an unknown commodity in terms of what it may or may not mean for British Politics. All of the candidates across Britain made special overtures to women.
