SUCCESS FOR COMMONWEALTH PARTY
London, Jan. 10.
The new Commonwealth political party gained a second success at the polls when Lieut. H. Lawson won the Skipton by-election by a narrow majority over the Conservative candidate. The Independent candidate forfeited his deposit. The byelection resulted from the death of Mr G. W. Rickards, Conservative, who had a majority of 5059 over Labour in the last election.
