Description:Here Councillor Norman Tiptaft lists all of the reasons why he was worthy of your vote in the 1922 General Election. Tiptaft had lost the previous election in 1918 but had become councillor for Handsworth in 1919. Amongst his reasons for your vote are firstly that he is a "local man". He also touches on this in his later points where he says, accurately, that Handsworth hadn't had a "local MP" for 15 years. Tiptaft was an Independent candidate and his opponent Oliver Locker-Lampson was the Conservative replacement candidate for the retiring MP.
