One third of the councillors seats were up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a three-year term of office. However, due to the outbreak of the First World War none of the seats were contested. Annual local elections were suspended from 1915 to 1919. Under the Elections and Registration Act 1915 the term of office of all members of the council was extended by one year and casual vacancies among members of the council were filled by the choice of the council rather than by election. Subsequent Parliament and Local Elections Acts of 1916, 1917, and 1918 each further extended the term of office of all members of the council by a year. The Conservative Party retained overall control of the council.THE MUNICIPAL TRUCE, Manchester Guardian, October 26, 1914, p.7NO MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, Manchester Courier, November 2, 1914, p.2 Election result PartySeatsFull CouncilConservative Party15 (42.9%)15 35 Conservative Party (UK) 75 (53.6%)75 140 Conservative Party (UK)Liberal Party 11 (31.4%)11 35 Liberal Party (UK) 42 (30.0%)42 140 Liberal Party (UK)Labour Party6 (17.1%)6 35 Labour Party (UK) 15 (10.7%)15 140 Labour Party (UK)Independent3 (8.6%)3 35 Independent (politician) 8 (5.7%)8 140 Independent (politician) Full council + ↓ 15 42 8 75 Aldermen + ↓ 16 1 18 Councillors + ↓ 15 26 7 57 Ward results All Saints' All Saints' Independent (politician) E.
