Lardner was elected unopposed for North Monaghan in a by-election in June 1907, although his nomination as the Nationalist candidate had been opposed by the powerful Joseph Devlin, whose Ancient Order of Hibernians was in competition with the Irish National Foresters.[9] In the two general elections of 1910 Lardner was challenged by the Unionist Michael Elliott Knight, but won comfortably each time with 63% of the vote.[10] He did not contest the general election of 1918.
Maume (1999, pp. 95, 233) states that Lardner had Healyite sympathies, but does not cite evidence. Barrington (1987, pp. 19–20) says that he was one of the Nationalist MPs who campaigned for legislation to improve Ireland's economic and social conditions. With J. J. Clancy he negotiated the Irish clauses of the National Insurance Act 1911 with the Treasury, and he was a member of the government committee appointed in 1913 to consider the extension of medical benefit to Ireland under the 1911 Act.[11]
