From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hyde by-election of 1916 was held on 30 March 1916. The by-election was held due to the resignation of the incumbent Liberal MP, Francis Neilson, as his pacifist beliefs contradicted with the pro-war mood.[1] It was won by the Liberal candidate Thomas Owen Jacobsen.[2]
