Campaign
The British Socialist Party who were unable to organise themselves a candidate to contest the election, decided nevertheless to campaign in the constituency. They issued a leaflet and toured the various works, lecturing the voters. They were critical of the electoral alliance between the Liberal and Labour parties and called on the electors to vote for the Unionist Party candidate.John MacLean's Scottish Notes, Justice, 24 February 1912, page 2.
Result
The Liberal Party held the seat.
