1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election
The Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, 1929 was a parliamentary by-election for the British House of Commons constituency of Liverpool East Toxteth on 19 March 1929.


1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting Unionist MP, Albert Edward Jacob on 26 February 1929, aged 71. He had been MP here since holding the seat in 1924.


1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, Election history
East Toxteth was a safe Unionist seat that they had not lost since the seat was created in 1885. One former Unionist MP had crossed the floor to join the Liberals in 1906 due to his support for Free Trade, but he did not attempt to defend the seat under his new party colours. Since the war, the most successful non Unionist candidate was the Independent Eleanor Rathbone, who had polled nearly 40% in a two-horse race at the 1922 general election. The result at the last General election was

Polling Day was fixed for 19 March 1929, a snap election, just 21 days after the death of the previous MP.


1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, Campaign
In his book 'Democracy and Sectarianism: A Political and Social History of Liverpool 1868-1939', Philip J. Waller described the campaign, firstly by outlining the Unionist candidate, Henry Mond's views;


1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, Campaign
Men must resist Liberalism's 'demonstrated futility' and Socialism's 'demonstrated dangers'. In an economic emergency, to avoid a general reduction of wages he favoured a tariff on foreign manufactured goods and 'a policy of Imperial insulation'; but mostly he appealed to governments to observe different priorities. Two forces were responsible for Britain's economic decline, the 'orthodox Free Trade View' and the 'orthodox Treasury View'. Industrial interests should be put before financial interests, and Mond advocated an extension of credit to rationalized industries by squeezing the unrationalized.


1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, Campaign
The whole taxation system, in his opinion, was wrong: if taxation was used to redistribute wealth industrial progress would be halted by the injury to capital and effort. ' What you want to arrive at', Mond thought, 'is not national redistribution, but national prosperity, with high wages, and in order to get high wages you have got to have good prices and low taxes'.


1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, Campaign
Undaunted, the Liberal candidate Aled Roberts, echoed David Lloyd George's boast that he could reduce unemployment to normal proportions within twelve months; and Labour's candidate, Cleary, hardly seemed the dangerous man of Mond's imagination. He deprecated 'scare statements' regarding Labour's financial intentions, and advocated raising the school-leaving age, adequate pensions, an international forty-eight hours week, the scientific utilization of land, a unified coal industry, public works, and trade expansion. Altogether the by-election had an ailing look, personified by Lord Birkenhead's last appearance at the hustings.


1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, Result
The Unionists held the seat for the first time polling less than 50% of the vote. Mond returned to parliament to represent a new constituency for his new party. Cleary was still able to increase the Labour vote share, but the most striking feature of the result was the advance in the Liberal vote from third place.


1929 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, Aftermath
Mond was re-elected here at the following General Election but when his father died in 1930 he inherited his seat in the House of Lords. Cleary also stood here again at the General Election in 1929 but made no further impression. However he was elected for Labour at the 1935 Liverpool Wavertree by-election. Although Roberts stood here again in 1929, for the 1931 general election, he was elected for the Liberals at Wrexham. The result at the following General election;


1929 Liverpool Scotland by-election
The Liverpool Scotland by-election, 1929 was a parliamentary by-election held in England on 14 December 1929 to elect a new Member of Parliament (MP) for the House of Commons constituency of the Scotland division of Liverpool.


1929 Liverpool Scotland by-election
It was caused by the death of the constituency's sitting MP T.P. O'Connor, the then Father of the House and an Irish Nationalist MP, on 18 November 1929. O'Connor had held the seat since its creation at the 1885 general election, and had been re-elected unopposed from 1918 onwards, most recently in May 1929.


1929 Liverpool Scotland by-election
The by-election was extremely unusual in that it was uncontested and still changed hands.


1929 Liverpool Scotland by-election
Ireland had achieved quasi-independence in 1922 as the Irish Free State, the Irish Nationalist Party was effectively defunct in Ireland, yet O'Connor continued to be elected unopposed under this label in Liverpool. O'Connor's voting record in the Commons most closely followed that of the Labour Party. At the by-election, Labour was the only party to nominate a candidate, standing David Logan. As a result he won the seat unopposed, though in practice this did not make much difference to the voting balance in the House of Commons where the Second Labour Government was in a minority.

1929 Murchison earthquake
The 1929 Murchison earthquake occurred at 10:17 am on 17 June. It struck the Murchison region of the South Island, with an estimated magnitude of 7.3, and was felt throughout New Zealand. There were 17 deaths, mostly as a result of landslides triggered by the earthquake. The rumbling sound of the earthquake was loud enough to be heard at New Plymouth, more than 250 km (155 mi) away.


1929 Murchison earthquake, Tectonic setting
New Zealand sits astride the boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate. In the South Island most of the displacement is taken up on the Alpine Fault passing to the north onto a set of strike-slip faults, the Marlborough Fault System. The sense of displacement across the plate boundary is oblique and most of the faults have a reverse component of slip. Some of the resulting deformation is accommodated within the plates themselves away from the boundary. The 1929 Murchison earthquake occurred on the White Creek Fault, located in the Buller Gorge.


1929 Murchison earthquake, Damage
Although the epicentre was in a sparsely populated area about 65 km (40 mi) north of Murchison, the shaking in the surrounding region was intense enough to cause damage over a wide area. The towns of Nelson, Greymouth and Westport were all affected and roads, buildings and bridges were severely damaged throughout an area estimated at 26,000 km2 (10,000 mi2). The worst damage was caused by landslides triggered by the shaking, which destroyed several homes and resulted in 14 of the 17 deaths. Two other deaths were caused by coal mine collapses. Most of the buildings in the Murchison area were built of wood and were warped and moved from their piles, but many brick buildings and chimneys were damaged in Nelson, Greymouth and Westport.


1929 Murchison earthquake, Characteristics
The earthquake was preceded by several foreshocks before the mainshock, accompanied by booming sounds in the mountains around Murchison. There was a large surface fault rupture visible in the Buller River, indicating about 4.5 m (14.8 ft) of vertical movement and 2.5 m (8.2 ft) of lateral movement. The earthquake triggered many landslides and these created 38 new lakes, of which 21 still exist, including Lake Stanley, on Stanley River. The Maruia Falls are also a notable by-product of the earthquake. The earthquake was accompanied by unusually loud rumbling noises that were heard as far away as New Plymouth. A maximum intensity of X (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale has been estimated for Murchison. Most of the northern part of South Island suffered an intensity of VII (Very strong) or greater.


1929 Murchison earthquake, Aftermath
The landslides blocked many roads causing food supplies to run out in some areas near the epicenter. This and the risk from aftershocks and flooding from the landslides blocking rivers caused many residents to evacuate the area, mostly on foot. Karamea was completely cut off and received no outside help for two weeks, until a de Havilland Tiger Moth plane landed on the beach. Some of the blocked roads took months to clear.


1929 Murchison earthquake, Importance for studying the earth's interior
Analysing the seismic waves from this earthquake appearing in the shadow zone, Inge Lehmann demonstrated that there must be a solid inner core that reflected p-waves.


1929 NC State Wolfpack football team

1929 NFL season, Championship race
"Whether New York or Green Bay, Wis., will hoist the 1929 National Professional Football league pennant to the top of the flagstaff will probably be determined here Sunday when the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers, both undefeated teams, meet," an Associated Press report noted, adding "Although both the Packers and the Giants play other games before the end of the season, past performances indicated that tomorrow's game will be the crucial contest for the league's standings."


1929 NFL season, Championship race
Verne Lewellen's pass to Herdis McCrary, and Bo Molenda's extra point, gave Green Bay a 7–0 lead in the first quarter. A pass from Benny Friedman to Tony Plansky gave the Giants a chance to tie in the third quarter, but the point after was blocked, and New York trailed 7–6. Green Bay added two touchdowns in the last quarter to win the game, 20–6 to take a one-game lead. Neither team lost their remaining games; the Packers finished at 12–0–1, the Giants at 13–1–1, giving coach Curly Lambeau and the Packers their first league title.

1929 NSWRFL season, Finals, Premiership final
The Whiticker/Collis reference quotes Sydney's Labor Daily in praise of Souths' win: "Newtown faced inevitable defeat, and while the margin was large, it hardly demonstrated South Sydney's superiority. They were on top from the start and gave a scintillating display both in combination and individual effort. Alf Blair played probably the greatest game in his long career".


1929 NSWRFL season, Finals, Premiership final
Brothers Alf and Frank O'Connor both scored tries for the winning Rabbitohs. The next time two brothers would each score a try in a premiership decider was when Brett and Glenn Stewart scored for Manly-Warringah in their 2011 NRL Grand Final win over New Zealand.

1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Before the season
New Nebraska head coach Bible arrived after having served eleven years as head football coach at Texas A&M University and winning six Southwest Conference titles along the way. The 1929 Cornhusker squad was fresh off winning the 1928 conference title in the first season of the Big 6, but had to quickly learn the new system brought in by Bible with a tough set of games scheduled to open the season.

1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, SMU
The 1929 season started with a tall challenge for the Nebraska squad, as they were still installing the new style of play brought in by coach Bible, and faced the reigning Southwest Conference champion Southern Methodist team as their first test. Many injuries were suffered on the field, including the loss of one Cornhusker player for the year, but the two championship teams were well-matched and ultimately fought to a scoreless draw in their first ever meeting.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Syracuse
Without much time to recover from the battle against SMU, Nebraska traveled to meet Syracuse for the season's first eastern game. Syracuse was favored to win and seemed to have the edge due to the number of hobbled Cornhusker players, and by the end of the first half those predictions seemed to be coming true as the squads left the field with the Orangemen holding a 6-0 lead.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Syracuse
In the second half, however, Nebraska's adjustments were able to successfully shut down further Syracuse scoring, and the Cornhuskers found a way to score 13 of their own to secure the upset win, making this the third straight Nebraska win over Syracuse and moving the Cornhuskers ahead in the series to 4-3.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Pittsburgh
Coming off the upset win over Syracuse, Nebraska entered the second eastern game of the season when Pitt came calling in Lincoln. The contest started slowly as both teams struggled to come up with points, but the Panthers found a way to get in a couple of touchdowns before the half, though both kicks after failed. After that, Pittsburgh was done scoring as the Cornhuskers successfully bottled the Panthers up for the rest of the game. Nebraska was only able to manage a single fourth-quarter touchdown and so failed to take the game, but did hold the Pittsburgh squad to the lowest total points it would score in any game of 1929. The edge in the series went to Pittsburgh, 2-1-1.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Missouri
Missouri was seeking revenge for the humiliating 0-24 loss in front of a Nebraska homecoming crowd last year, where the Husker-Tiger Bell was taken from their possession after only a few hours and held by the Cornhuskers since then. This time, the game was in Columbia, and it was the Missouri homecoming crowd that the battle would be held in front of. Missouri made the first strike early before both teams settled down into a grind. The Cornhuskers were frustrated at every turn, unable to move the ball, while Missouri repeatedly gashed Nebraska for gains before sputtering out. Finally, with about four minutes left, Nebraska managed to get into the end zone and evened up the score. A last Tiger push for the win fell short, and Missouri was denied the revenge win and possession of the bell. Nebraska remained firmly in control of the series, 15-6-2.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Kansas
Kansas had a strong offense, but Nebraska's defense proved up to the challenge. The Jayhawks tried many approaches but were time and again turned away without points, including one series where the Kansas squad started 1st and goal from the Cornhusker 5-yard line and went away empty-handed. Nebraska's win streak over the Jayhawks was now at five games as Kansas slipped to 9-25-2 against the Cornhuskers in the 36 consecutive series games dating back to 1892.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Oklahoma
The Cornhuskers were weakened by injuries following the Kansas victory, including the loss of a key backfield runner for the season. The Sooners pulled out first and made Nebraska fight back for the rest of the game. Late in the contest, Nebraska scored the tying touchdown and had an opportunity to take the win with the kick after, but the ball was booted too low and the game's scoring would hold at the 13-13 tie until time expired. This was the first and only time that the Cornhuskers would wind up with three tied games in a single season, and Nebraska retained a 6-1-2 edge over Oklahoma.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Kansas State
Kansas State had a shot at a league title if they could come out in front of Nebraska, and the Aggies came with a strong aerial attack that dazzled the spectators. It was all the Cornhuskers could do to keep up and fight back to try to hold Kansas State off the scoreboard. The Cornhuskers pulled out the win with two safeties, the four points resulting thus deciding the game, which denied the title sought by the Aggies while keeping Nebraska unbeaten on conference play so far for the year. Kansas State once again was held winless against the Cornhuskers, having never come closer than one tied game in their fourteen tries.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Iowa State
The freezing weather did not slow Nebraska down for the final game of the year, though the start was sluggish enough to keep the event somewhat in doubt until the second half. By the end of the game, the Cornhuskers were rolling and leading by enough that coach Bible played everyone on the roster before the final gun. Iowa State was sent back to Ames in disappointment and lagging in the series 4-19-1.


1929 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, After the season

1929 New Zealand cyclone
The cyclone of 1929 (also known as the Great Leith flood of 1929) was an unnamed tropical cyclone that struck New Zealand in mid-March 1929 causing widespread flooding and destruction.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Impact
The cyclone brought high winds to the northeast of the country, causing extensive damage in the Bay of Plenty on 18 March, before bringing heavy rain to coastal Canterbury and Otago, causing Dunedin's worst-ever flood.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Impact, Bay of Plenty
Opotiki township suffered one of its most severe gales, with roofs blown off marae buildings and local businesses. Maize crops were flattened, fruit trees were stripped, and many trees were blown over.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Impact, Hawke's Bay
A foal was killed by a flying sheet of iron at Tirohanga.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Impact, Canterbury
Heavy rain was recorded from Christchurch south, with 89 millimetres (3.5 in) falling in Waimate in 24 hours on 19–20 March. There was extensive flooding near the mouth of the Waihao River and around Duntroon. Crops were inundated in several parts of the region, and the South Island Main Trunk Railway was washed out south of Glenavy.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Impact, Otago
There were floods throughout coastal Otago from Dunedin to Oamaru, and inland as far as Clyde. Heavy rainfall was recorded as far south as Balclutha. Burns Creek, inland from Waitati, recorded 224 millimetres (8.8 in) of rain in 24 hours on 19–20 March. Minor flooding occurred around the Kawarau Gorge and Cromwell, and several small creeks in the area became torrents, washing out roads, and severe damage was also caused to roads around Milton. Flooding occurred throughout both the residential and business precincts of Oamaru, and several retaining walls collapsed during the storm. Several houses were evacuated, and there was major damage to the Oamaru Public Gardens.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Impact, Otago
Rail and other communication links were badly affected, with a railway worker killed as a result of the weather at Salisbury in the Taieri Gorge.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Impact, Otago, Dunedin
Heavy rain was recorded around Dunedin, with 139 millimetres (5.5 in) falling at Dunedin Botanical Gardens in 24 hours on 19–20 March. The northern part of Dunedin was inundated by the heaviest flood in the city's history. Many houses were flooded from the city's Exchange area to North East Valley, and many bridges were washed away. Significant damage was done by the undermining of walls, and roadways were washed away entirely in some places. Many business premises in the central city were inundated with water. The Water of Leith changed course, scouring out a new channel (part of which had been an earlier course of the river).


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Impact, Otago, Dunedin
In the southern part of the urban area, 100 houses were flooded from Cargill's Corner to Caversham, with the most badly affected area being around Kensington. The Kaikorai Stream became a torrent, flooding parts of Burnside and Green Island. Throughout the city a total of 506 houses were affected by floodwater. Parts of Otago Peninsula were also isolated as slips blocked many of its roads.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Deaths
At least one person lost his life as a result of the storm. The engine of a goods train from Ranfurly did not stop in time to avoid a washout in the Taieri Gorge. The train's fireman was drowned when the engine fell into the river.


1929 New Zealand cyclone, Aftermath
As a result of the storm, the lower reaches of the Water of Leith have now been contained within concrete channels, and the flow is controlled by several small weirs, notably just to the north of Woodhaugh Gardens and at the George Street bridge. The river's concrete channels close to its mouth were also doubled, creating a flood spillway channel. Further work to reduce the Leith's flooding risk was undertaken in the 1950s and 1960s and since the mid-1990s. There has been extensive flood protection work in progress since 2013, which is still ongoing, most recently resulting in the extensive closure of the Dundas St bridge.
