Charles E. (Charles Eugene) Morris

Charles E. Morris, identified in library records as Charles E. (Charles Eugene) Morris, 1884-, is credited as the author of The Progressive Democracy of James M. Cox. The Online Books Page lists the book as published in Indianapolis by Bobbs-Merrill in 1920, and catalogs it as a study of Ohio governor and presidential candidate James M. Cox.

He is also associated in modern book catalogs with Counseling with Young People, suggesting interests that ranged beyond politics into guidance or educational writing. Reliable, detailed biographical information about Morris himself is scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him chiefly through the books attached to his name rather than through a well-documented public life.

A Find a Grave record for a Charles E. Morris matching the 1884 birth year lists a birth date of January 28, 1884, and a death date of November 4, 1931, in Missouri. Because the available sources do not fully connect that memorial to the author beyond the matching name and year, that identification should be treated as probable rather than certain.
