Background
John Luke, the incumbent Mayor sought re-election and retained office unopposed with no other candidates emerging.[1] The current Labour Party contested its first election since unification the previous year. It put forward a small ticket that was still large enough to win a majority, however just as in 1915 no Labour candidates were successful.[2]
