EDITORS COMMENTS
A Pivotal Moment in Derby's Political History: Canvassing for Votes in the 1910 General Election This trio of images offers a glimpse into the vibrant and dynamic political climate of Derby during the 1910 General Election. The first photograph captures the excitement of the electorate as Unionist candidates take a break from their campaigning to watch the half-time show during a Derby County versus Millwall football match. The candidates, dressed in their formal attire, engage with the crowd, using every opportunity to connect with potential voters. In the second image, a Liberal candidate addresses tram drivers and conductors on their way home on the eve of the poll. This strategic move allowed the candidate to reach a significant portion of the working-class electorate, who often relied on public transportation to travel to and from their jobs. The candidate's passionate speech, combined with the promise of a better future, resonated with the crowd, securing their support. The third photograph showcases the fervor of the Liberal supporters as they cheer a portrait of their long-standing member for Derby, Mr. Ore, which was beamed onto the Corn Market by cinematograph. Mr. Ore's reputation and commitment to the constituency had earned him the loyalty of the people, making him a formidable contender in the election. These images offer a fascinating insight into the political campaigns of the early 20th century, showcasing the determination, strategy, and charisma required to win the hearts and minds of the electorate. The energy and enthusiasm of the crowds, the dedication of the candidates, and the innovative use of technology to reach the masses, all contribute to a compelling narrative of a pivotal moment in Derby's political history.
