Political career

In the general election of 1906 , the Labor politician applied for a mandate in the British House of Commons for the first time . In his constituency in the north of England, Stockton-on-Tees , however, he was unable to obtain the required number of votes. In the general election in 1910 , Rose ran in the western English constituency of Crewe and missed the entry into the lower house one more time. In the Scottish constituency of Aberdeen North , the Labor Party first appeared in the 1918 general election . Your candidate Frank Herbert Rose immediately succeeded in gaining a majority of votes with a share of 50.9% and thus a seat in the House of Commons. In doing so, he prevailed against the liberal Duncan Pirie , who had represented the constituency since 1896. In the following general election in 1922 , 1923 and 1924 Rose defended his mandate for Aberdeen North. With his death on July 10, 1928, by-elections were required in the constituency of Aberdeen North, which Rose party colleague William Wedgwood Benn could win.
