Rt Hon Frederick Guest was the official candidate of the local Liberal Association but he also received support from the local Conservative Association. His campaign was conducted by a joint committee and he stated that he was prepared to support a Conservative Government under Baldwin's leadership. Although the Liberal Year Book lists him as Independent, he does appear to have received the Liberal whip. | |||||

In January 1929 the Western Counties Liberal Association disaffiliated the North Bristol Liberal Association and set up a new organisation who adopted John Skelton as their candidate. Shortly before the General Election the Liberal Parliamentary Party endorsed Rt Hon Frederick Guest's receipt of the whip and he received a letter of support from the Liberal's Chief Whip. However, on the eve of the election, the leader of the Liberal Party, Lloyd George, sent a letter to John Skelton recognising him as the only official Liberal candidate in the constituency. | |||||
