A Mosleyito Union Movement candidate in a Hampstead by-election suffered a crushing defeat this week-end when he polled a total of 34 votes as compared with the victorious Conservative candidate who got 2,500 and the Labor candidate who received 1,500 votes.

During the election campaign, the Mosleyites distributed leaflets blaming “alien Jews” for the housing shortage in London.
