Hough joined the Independent Labour Party (ILP) in the 1890s, and was a prominent campaigner for the ILP candidate in the 1897 Barnsley by-election. In 1910, he stood for election to the West Riding County Council for the Labour Party, with the support of the ILP. Although he was unsuccessful, he stood repeatedly until he was finally elected in 1925. On the council, he became known for his campaigns for new housing for workers. He also stood unsuccessfully in Don Valley at the 1918 general election. In 1943, Hough was elected to the executive of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, using his position to advocate for the nationalisation of the coal mines. (en) |
