Oilman-Utilitarian Henry Latham Doherty spoke darkly of "opinions which will give a monopoly in perpetuity to some one corporation." Friends of Nominee Hughes were of a different opinion; they predicted that he would have a liberal cast of mind on the bench, might often join the dissenters. Soon after the confirmation of Chief...

He resigned, handed over leadership to a politician of broader popularity, Joseph Aloysius Lyons, former Acting Treasurer of Australia.
