He also stood unsuccessfully in the 1913 Houghton-le-Spring by-election. The following year, he became vice-president of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain. He was the union's choice to replace John Wilson in the 1915 Mid Durham by-election, but they ultimately chose not to stand him, due to the electoral truce during the First World War. (en)
