Bedford, Henry Dodgshun, 1877-1918

Date: 1905

From: [Ephemera relating to politics and elections in New Zealand. 1900-1909]

Reference: Eph-B-POLITICS-1905-01

Description: Flyer, with the front showing a caricature drawing of a slovenly drunk woman who is singing the praises of political candidate Alfred Richard Barclay, and vowing to vote for him. She criticises "Mister Bedford" (Henry Dodgshun Bedford). A small "sequel" shows her in a worse state, beggining for her voting papers back because she accidently voted for Bedford instead of Barclay. The verso shows advertisements for retailers Laidlaw & Gray, for Thurmer pianos from the London Organ & Piano Company, and for the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand. This flyer is probably a political campaign poster for Harry Bedford, who supported Temperance; hence the unattractive drunk woman who was too confused to vote for her choice (Bedford's opponent Alfred Richard Barclay). It may also have been a criticism of women's political judgement. Bedford had entered parliament in 1902 at the age of 25 with a huge majority, but the declining fortunes of New Liberal Party which he joined, meant that he lost the seat in 1905. Barclay won. Inscriptions: Recto - bottom centre - [in pencil] Elections 1905 Dunedin Quantity: 1 b&w photo-mechanical print(s). Physical Description: Offset prints on both sides of flyer, 282 x 232 mm.
