		December 6 1923: Labour's 1923 campaign saw it win a record number of seats.

		Because of the hegemony of the ruling party, boycotting the referendum was a stroke of genius by the opposition parties who have strenuously criticized the inadequacy of the proposed reform.

		At the following two elections of 1923 and 1924, before which he was re-selected, there was no challenge to his candidature from within the local party.
		Throughout all three of Saklatvala's election campaigns, when he was the candidate of the Batteresa Trades Council, the press concentrated their attack, not on his Indian origins, but on his revolutionary politics.
		During the 1923 campaign, Hogbin, Saklatvala's opponent, fed information to the press that there were `foreign gangs' operating in the constituency.

		The election last referred to could only have been a special election, as the laws of Oklahoma did not authorize a state-wide election to be held after March 31, 1923, and prior to the primary election of August, 1924.
		"Election officials cannot by plain disobedience of the minor mandate contained in the statute as to the time of election deprive the citizens of the greater mandate that they shall have an election.
		It is, as denominated in the statute, a special election, and under the conditions as shown was one that might or might not occur in any year owing to the condition of the assessment and levy made by the particular municipality and the judgment and discretion of the excise board.

		Yet, on 14th June, on his return from London he broke the pact in Cork by declaring he was not hampered by being on a platform where there were Coalitionists, and made a "straight appeal" to the people to vote for the candidate they thought best of.
		The Constitution was published on the morning of the election, too late for the voters to consider it before voting.
		That was a fairly eloquent testimony as to whose will had been carried out when over 200 splendid young men were brutally murdered and as to whose shoulders should bear the responsibility for a year and more of war.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Chronicles \| The first forged elections
		Disregarding the elections held under Sidqi's term in 1930 that were boycotted by the Wafd and Constitutional Liberal parties, six elections had been held and in all of them the Wafd Party had won.
		The second were the elections of March 1925, which were held under the supervision of Ismail Sidqi, the minister of the interior in the government of Ziwar that was loyal to the palace and inimical to the Wafd Party.
		As there was an intention to forge the elections, and the police forces were not sufficient to supervise the process in order to meet this goal, some time was required to transport them from the Delta region after fulfilling their mission there to Upper Egypt to complete the process.

	Baseball Almanac - Year In Review : 1923 American League
		On May 2, 1923, Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators pitched a 3-0 shutout versus the New York Yankees.
		The shutout was the 100th of Johnson's career and it made him the first (and only) pitcher with 100 career shutouts - yet the event when virtually unnoticed.
		Other notable dates during the 1923 season included: July 22 - Walter Johnson becoming the first to join the 3,000 Strikeouts Club; September 4 - Sam Jones no-hitter (the second by a Yankee) over the Athletics; September 7 - Howard Ehmke no-hitter over the Athletics (again!); and September 14 - George Burns unassisted triple play.

		But the Tories under Baldwin used the period of Labour Government to rebuild their position and to forge ahead with the vicious anti-working class policies which were to lead to the General Strike of 1926.
		The defeat of the General Strike had led to the complete severance of any links between the Labour Party and the Communist Party, as the Left- Wing Movement, a movement of constituency parties sympathetic to the CP was effectively proscribed and constituency parties disaffiliated.
		Although the election was a defeat for Labour, the National Government taking 70% of the vote, and Labour was decimated in Parliament, its vote from the high point of 1929 only fell from 8.3 million to 6.6 million.

		On many occasions between 1921 and 1923, mass rallies were held, crosses were burned, and denunciations of the enemies of America were made.
		Everybody expected "Big Bill" to run for a third term in 1923 but he was too wise a counter of votes for that; he knew that because of the continuing charges of corruption he had little chance with the voters, and he remembered only too well the judicial election of 1921.
		In response to the racial appeal of the Democrats, he told fl audiences that "the fl finger that is good enough to pull a trigger in defense of the American flag is good enough to mark the ballot." Thompson pledged to defeat the "lily white" Democratic party.
