Morley was elected in part due to a rising demand for moral reform in Victoria. After he was elected, Morley and the police chief struck an unofficial deal with Stella Carroll, a popular "madam" in the city. If she would move her brothel out of downtown and into what was considered the town's "red-light district", she would be left alone. However, public pressure forced the mayor to renege on this deal.
