Horace Crawfurd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horace Evelyn Crawfurd (13 January 1881 – 14 March 1958) was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom.
He unsuccessfully contested the Walthamstow West constituency at the general elections in 1922 and 1922, before winnning the seat at the 1924 general election, narrowly defeating the Labour MP Valentine McEntee. However, McEntee regained the seat at the 1929 general election.
He stood again at the Islington East by-election in February 1931, where he finished fourth. His last candidacy was at the 1935 general election, when he was placed third of the three candidates in Leicester West.
