credit and have kept Missouri in the
foreground.
As We look forward to the battle
now being staged for 1920, the Ledger,
representing q part Of the great
system of Democracy, with an eye
single to the interest and continued
success Of the party it represents,
probably puts forth in this article the
first vision touching upon the guber-
material situation in 1920 that has
emanated from Southwest Missouri.
In remote sections OF the State we
have noticed personal mention OF
favorite sons by the home organ, and
in this respect we view with more
than ordinary interest, the probable
candidacy of George II. Moore which
was recently given mention by the
Canton News.
1t cannot be disputed that the News
has struck a vital chord in presenting
the nam of George H. Moore, for he
is beyond doubt OF the brainiest
men in Missouri. His stride forward
the past ten years has been phenom-
email aud to-day his star is at its
brightest.
In the prime Of life and full of vigor,
he impresses you with a desire to
learn more of what is wrapped up in
his commanding figure. And here is
a point where you will not feel lost
for, he is easy ofapproach and you are
Immediately at home in his presence.
AS Internal Revenue Collector fol-
the Eastern District of Missouri
George II. Moore has made q recort
that has won praise from his superiors
the public and his army of assistants
He has put into practice the mos
complete system to be found in an!
| department of the Federal govern
ment. His work ia ~momentous. Whel
you consider that nearly one hundred
9 million dollars passes through hi
q Office annually, you have some con
ception of its magnitude and the grea
responsibility resting upon his shout
ders. The greatest days record
+ the history of his Office was the hand
ing of thirteen million dollars. Tn
amount had to pass through th
a hands Of his cashier, who for alertre'
and accurancy is as clear a repre-
sentation of a human machine as "
ever beheld.
But aside from business qualitica
l. tions We want you to view the ma
from the standpoint of personal char
acteristics. Inwardly and outward
" you will admire the man. He
9 distinctly in a class to himself. A
though he occupies a position con
manding prestige and honor. yet
WAYS, his mode OF conducting t
daily routine of business and social q
fairs, is the most democratic we ha'
ever seen. Stop into the room lea
Cd ing to George Moore's private Off
and see what you find. No dc
lis closed; no red tape attached to
M entrance. If you want to speak
the chief you walk in on him una
lie nounced and you are given the SO
'er welcome and attention accorded a
man, be your station high or low,
This is SO unordinary to the averf
a man who is accustomed to a ball
ne. tape in securing an audience with
out big men, that he marvels at the 81
plici,y with which he surrounds hi
md self. We know of nothing more &C
got mendable in a man whose station
wo life is more extraordinary.
60. As a lawyer he has the distinct
vas of standing at the head of his prof
sion. As a leader in the Democr
yet, ranks, he has few equals. A &
Ter, speaker, an organizer, and above
OF he has a personality that draws
ost masses to him with electrical eff
for Thus you find a combination of q
tiles Of great moment, politically
rite from any other view point.
His prestige in political affairs
fecting st. Louis, is OH acknowlet
fact. Few, If any, are more intim
ly acquainted with political condi'
o., as they exist in that city to-day,
his judgment and leadership is so
and reckoned with in the minutes
tail.
George II. Moore for Governo
1920 Is not a misnomer. 1t m
y IS progress and prestige for Misso
the greater laurels and achievement
mas the Democratic party.
