Background

Mayor George Troup declined to stand for a third term. Councillor Thomas Hislop was selected as his replacement to stand for the Civic League. The Labour Party did not stand a mayoral candidate, the first time they had not done so since 1917. An election was necessitated when the deputy mayor Martin Luckie accepted the request of a deputation of citizens to run for mayor.[1]
