Charles Poole was born in Ireland in 1874 before moving to Australia aged 11.[1] He was a seaman by trade and also spent time living in Canada before settling in New Zealand.[2] Upon arriving, he became an ardent leader of the local prohibition movement.[2]
Poole won the Auckland West electorate in the 1905 general election, but was defeated in 1911 by James Bradney of the Reform Party. He won the electorate back in 1914, and retired in 1919.[3] Poole was a dedicated Seddonite and possessed a rather aggressive oratory style, like Seddon himself.[2]
Deathedit
Poole died in 1941 in California where he was cremated. His ashes were shipped to Auckland and interred there.[2]
