| Description | Featuring a large photograph of Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury, this poster is entitled 'Vote for Mrs. George Cadbury' and includes a copy of Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury's address to the electors of the King's Norton Division. Taylor Cadbury's address outlines her position on unemployment, food provision, social policy, the European position, election issues and foreign policy. Drawing on her 'intimate knowledge of local needs' and her position as a Birmingham City Councillor, Taylor Cadbury's address states that her 'experience' and 'activities in connection with Housing, Health and Education' were well known in the district.
The poster reveals that the 1923 General Election was called to reconsider fiscal policy, however, Taylor Cadbury's address states that she believed national unemployment and European foreign policy to be 'the real subjects before the country'. Outlining her social policy, Taylor Cadbury comments that if she were elected she would 'press for the development of many social policies, particularly those with which my husband was so closely identified', such as the improvement of housing, extension of trade boards and the re-modelling of the Old Age Pension Act. Emphasising the need for 'high ideals and the righteousness that exalts a nation', Taylor Cadbury states that her policy would include 'progressive legislation in the promotion of Health, Education, Child Welfare, and the general amelioration of industrial life.'
The poster also advertises political meetings arranged in the King's Norton Division for the final week leading up to the General Election on 6th December 1923. |
