He was the son of Queensland Premier Sir Arthur Morgan. Born in Warwick, Queensland, he was educated at state schools before becoming a journalist. He served in the military 1914-1917, and returned to become an associate editor in Brisbane. He edited Graziers' Review from 1921-1927. In 1929, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Nationalist member for Darling Downs, defeating sitting member Littleton Groom, who was running as an independent.
