[13] Republican leaders asked him to reconsider, and he rescinded his resignation and joined the legislative body in February 1907.
[18] In 1920, he and Charles E. Burton, ran unopposed in the Republican primary for the two Arizona State Senate seats from Yavapai County.
After his election to the Senate, his candidacy was called into question, since, being in Europe, he did not sign his nominating certificate.
[23] Morgan died on January 11, 1930, in the Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, California.
At the time of his death he was the vice-president and general manager of the Zenda Gold Mining Company, near Barstow.
