Anderson was a political journalist and more than a decade, he wrote the "Gracchus" column in Reynolds Newspaper. He left the paper in 1914, when Lord Dalziel bought a controlling interest, and worked as a motoring journalist for a few years, after which he began writing on behalf of David Lloyd George.[1]

He joined the Fabian Society in 1888, and served on its executive committee for several years. Following World War I, he remained a prominent supporter of Lloyd George and the Liberal Party.[2] He died suddenly in 1937.[3]
