Over two hundred articles contributed by William Morris Hughes (later to become Prime Minister) appeared under the title 'The Case for Labor' in the Sydney Daily Telegraph between October 1907 and October 1912. In March 1910 twenty articles were selected and published in book form by The Worker Trustees, Sydney. It is this book that is now reprinted facsimile together with an Introduction and an Appendix listing the publication details of all the articles.Sir Robert Menzies, in his Introduction, writes: 'Before William Morris Hughes was anything more than a name to me, I read "The Case for Labor". I still think that it is the liveliest exercise in political controversy produced in Australia. . . . I am glad it is being reprinted. . . . As a contribution to the polemics of politics, as a piece of political history in the making, and as an expression of a remarkable personality, this book should be in every political student's library. Its republication now makes this possible.'
