MOORE CANDIDATE
FOR U.s.. CONGRESS
(By Jones in the Gazette)

vada and past commander of the
Reno post of the American Legion,
has broken the ice with the an
nouncement of his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress. Col. Moore makes his formal
statement today after mature re-
| Election and extensive canvass of
conditions.
Col. Moore first came to Nevada
in 1917 on a special mission for the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany. The United States entered
the world war about that time
and he enlisted. AS major in COM
mand of a signal corps battalion
he saw active service at Chateau
Thierry, st. Mihiel and in the
Meuse-Argonne sector, having been
assigned later as chief signal officer
at Antwerp. Since his discharge
ne has been commissioned lieuten-
ant-colonel in the signal reserve
corps.
Leaving the army, Col. Moore
resumed his work in Nevada and
was appointed manager of the Bell
Telephone Company of Nevada. He
is a native of Wisconsin but has
been in the west since 1908. Col
Moore makes the following state
ment:
81 have made quite an extensive
canvass during the the last few
weeks and have received a great
deal of encouragement from my
friends to enter the race. Believ-
ing that Nevada is just entering
/ upon a great period of development
and prosperity, | wish to be identi-
fled with the advancement of its
interests. 1t will be my constant
endeavor to work diligently for the
success of the republican party and
will make very complete can
vass through the state during the
primary campaign"
If the convention programs as
tentatively accepted by the state
chairman of the two big parties in
Nevada are carried into effect, &C
commodations will be made in Reno
for nearly 200 visiting delegates
June 27, for there is little doubt,
as expressed by party leaders, that
both conventions will be held in
this city.
If full delegations attend from all
of the seventeen counties of the
state, 1874 will be seated at the re-
publican convention and 81 at the
democratic pow-wow. Representa-
ton, as defined in the revised
election laws, is to be made upon a
proportionate basis of the vote cast
| for congressional candidates at the
last general election. Each county
is entitled to a delegate for each
100 votes and major fraction there
of cast in the 1920 contest for
representative in congress. On
this basis each county will be al
lowed the following number of dele
gates:
Republican-Churchill, with TIA
votes cast, 8 delegates; Clark, 534
votes, 5 delegates; Douglas, 485
votes, 5 delegates; Elko 1851 votes,
IL delegates; Esmeralda, 397 votes,
A delegates; Eureka, 263 votes, 8
delegates; Humboldt, $50 votes, 6
delegates; Lander, 284 votes, 3
delegates; Lincoln, $40 votes, a
delegates; Lyon, SAG votes, 8 dele
gates; Mineral, PIT votes, dele
gates; Nye 1860 votes, IA delegates;
Ormsby,577 votes, 6 delegates;
Pershing, 512 votes, 5 delegates;
Storey, 312 votes, delegates;
Washoe, 3278 votes, 35 delegates;
White Pine, 1859 votes, IL dele
gate.
Democratic-Churchill, 482 votes,
5 delegates; Clark, SAB votes, 6
delegates; Douglas, 143 votes,
delegate; Elko, 987 votes, 10 dele
gates, Esmeralda, 376 votes, 4
delegates; Eureka, 169 votes, 2
delegates; Humboldt, $50 votes,
6 delegates; Lander, 226 votes, 2
delegates; Lincoln, 344 votes, 3
delegates; Lyon, 81 votes, 3 dele
gates; Mineral, 191 votes, 2 dele
gates; Nye, 1894 votes, IL dele
gates; Ormsby, $50 votes, A dele
gates; Pershing, 289 votes, 3 dele
gates; Storey, 249 votes, dele
gates; Washoe, 1919 votes, is dele
gates; White Pine, 924 votes, 0
| delegates.
I 1t can be seen from this data
that a preponderance of the dele
gates from each county will repre-
sent the republican party except
Clark county which will be en-
