The
Liberal candidate was 49-year-old
Dr Charles Cooke-Taylor, a psychiatrist. In 1910 Cooke-Taylor contested
Holborn as a candidate of the
Liberal Party. Between 1918 and 1931 he contested the
Dulwich seat six times, though he never won.
Campaign
The major issues were the stringent financial policies of the
National Government, and for the Liberal candidate, opposition to
protectionism.
Result
The result was much as expected, with turnout around two-thirds of what it had been in the previous year's general election. The Conservative candidate's majority was slashed in half, but the Liberal candidate slightly increased his vote, pushing Labour into third place.
