Born in Llanidloes, Morris began working as a railway signalman and joined the National Union of Railwaymen (NUR).
He stood unsuccessfully for the party in Reading at the 1918 United Kingdom general election, taking 29.8% of the vote and second place.

Later in the year, he became the party's full-time organiser for Wales, and so did not restand for the position.
