British vote highlights US cotton in Liverpool election
In Liverpool, the Feb. 23 vote pits Labour candidate "Big Bessie" Braddock against Conservative Sir John Reynolds. The race centers on cotton exchange control, slum clearance, and Catholic school governance, with both sides pledging subsidies amid port and industrial stakes. Braddock argues Conservatives push speculation and price drops. Reynolds seeks to restore free trade and private cotton trade links with New York.
