Moore Interview
What sort of nn individual is J.
Hampton Moore in private?
What arc his personal views nbou;
his campaign mid its outcome?
I had nsked for nn interview with
the purpose of describing the inde
pendent Republican candidate. for
Mayor s he nppeared In an hour of
s relaxation in his professional ofliccs in
tho Crozcr Bulldiug.
I found a man of medium height,
slenderly but compactly built, with
heavy black hair parted on the left side
and thrown across a broad high forc-
head. The forehead was uoticeable for
its prominence, and because the crauial
development behiud it -widened on
either side where phrenologists locate
the organs of constructivcncss and
, ideality.
The face was rather loug-with square
jaw and firm set chin. IIjs eyes were
dark behind rimless spectacles. His
nose vns rather large and of tho Greek
type. Straight and rather determined
lips wore set off with n closely trimmed
black moustache lightly sprinkled with
eray.
Fluent, Forceful and Direct
As he talked there was no waiting
for Or hesitauey in selecting just the
proper word. He was fluent, forceful
and direct. In these characteristics lm
revealed a trained speaker.
Such was Congressman Moore as 'ic
faced mo from a swivel chair on tho
opposite side of u bevy flat top desk
that was almost hidden beneath pnper
bouud reports and reference books. He
was ooatless. His negligee shirt was
of white silk with pin stripes of red.
In his dotted silk four-in-hnnd he
Wore a small stickpin of filigree gold.
"I've been holding almost continu
ous conferences by day and addressing
open air meetings by night without any
physical inconvenience, " he remarked,
anticipating my first question.
"Fourteen hours' daily use of one's
voice is a pretty severe strain on the
vocnl cords, but I urn winding up ray
campaign with nothing worse than an
occasional slight hoarseness.
"Has the campaign tired you?" I
inquired.
"Nothing beyond a healthy fatigue
that sends mc into a sound sleep the
instant iny head tonchr.-i uie pillow.
There is one invariable ruin I never
violate; I manage to get eigbt hours'
sound sleep every night no matter
. what happens.
A Question of "Nerves"
"How about your nerves?" I asked
with sonin curiosity.
"Well, It's this way," and the Con
gressman grinned good naturcdly nt the
directness of the question. "A fellow
who has stood on the floor of Congress
for years in give-and-take debate, with
an occasional cross-fire of acrimonious
discussion, hasn't any right to have
such a thing as serves.
"Besides there has been no occasion
for mo to get nervous. I've been treated
with such uniform courtesy by the
people who have attended our meet
ings and hnvc been accorded such n
whole hearted and generous reception
that it has been an' incentive to me to
shelve every personal feeling. Nervous?
Not a bit of it."
I dropped the strictly intimate after
this reply, and switched to an equally
personal but more popular lino of in
quiry, stereotyped perhaps but popular.

Idea as to the outcorao of the cam
paign V"
Suro Winner, Says Moore
"I'm going to win. I think your
question is trite though it has the
virtue of being surprisingly blunt,"
said the congressman half laughing.
"There is no reason why I shouldn't
give you a direct and honest answer.
"But mark you," and io hitched
forward in his chair and pointed a fore
finger at me to emphasize bis words,

For Monday,
Congressman's Emphatic!
In the following interviews with Congressman
candidate, and Judge Patterson,
organization candidate for Mayor, I
have sought to present their individual views on im
portant campaign issues and their conception of the
duties that will devolve upon the next chief magistrate
of the city.
With these is included their visualization of the im
portant needs of the municipality for the ensuing four
years.

Patterson Interview
A judge in his judicial capacity,
dignified, reserved, the embodiment of
justice, commands both deference and
respect.
Is he different from other men when
the cares and responsibilities of his
office are laid aside?
Some jurists whom I know cannot
(iivcsr themselves even in the every
day walks of life from a certain aloof
ness which characterizes them upon the
bench. Not so John M. Patterson, as
sociate judge of the Court of Common
Pleas No. 1 and regular Itepublicnn
candidate for Major of Philadelphia.
His many friends give unanimous
testimony that when ho lays aside his
robes to mingle with the outside world
it is as a man of the people, yet at the
same time responsive to a natural dig
nity that wins respect. -
The Judge "Off Stage"
I found this to he true in the hour
that he gave me from the. exuding de
mands on his time in the midst of the
campaign.
It was in the judge's chambers on
the third floor of the City Hall. The
big room with its wide windows, Yield
ing upholstery in warm tints, anil im
posing array of legal volumes around
the walls gave the apartment the ap
pearance nf a library rather than a
judge's workshop.
From beginning to end the interview
was devoid of formality. Kented in ..
leather upholstered chair with its back
to an ornate mahogany desk littered
IIJM'K
mui nuniiles of legaLlooking doeu-
incuts, .lutfge Patterson with unstudied
directness answered questions and dis
cussed subjects incident to the cam
paign. Now nnd then he would crasn the
arms of the chair loosely with both
hands. Occasionally he would swing
aroiuud slowly, leaning slightly forward
with unconscious earnestness '
He is what would be termed in the
vernacular of certain western iWn.
sylvania counties ns "rensonnhlv tnll."
His figure is well rounded and mus
cular. His shoulders are broad, his
head well set,, and from solo to crown
there is a suggestion of physical
strength and virility about him.
Likewise there is about him that
which suggests one upon whom the
cares of life have set their impress but
lightly.
His features are full, regular, nnd
expressive, with mobile lips and n clear-
cm proiue. jic is smooth shaven, and
has slightly curling hair turning gray.
High forehead and dark eyes with a
little cluster of wrinkles in their cor
ners that, even when he is most in
earnest, are suggestive of a smile. His
manner is easy, agreeable, natural nud
nbovo all hearty.
He was dressed in a dark sack suit,
turn-down collar, and n delicately
figured bluish puplo necktie.
"Fire Ahead," Says the Judge
"I really do not know what to say,"
he remarked, with a smile thnt lighted
his features pleasantly, iu reply to my
request thnt he talk about tho issues
of the mayoralty fight. "Thero is'
plenty to talk about I presume, but I
think the best way is for you to fire
"ahead with any questions and I'll try
10 answer mem 10 me best of mv
ability." y
"To begin at the beginnfiig then, tell
me about your campaign. How are
you feeling, and what are some of its
striking features ns you have observed
them?"
"I'm feeling fine," he replied, with
n laugh. "In fact, I never felt better.
To tell you the truth, 1 don't think I
ever enjoyed anything so much Iu my
life. I'm enjoying every moment of it
and the hotter it grows the better I
like it."
"It's the Irish love of n fight, T pre
sume," I suggested, recalling thnt the
judge's father was born in Ireland and
that he rame to Philadelphia when a
lad. Moreover, thnt he was a tighter

Howard Heinz announced today that

Willing to Co-opcra(e
"Early iu August Attorney General
Palmer requested former stnte food ad
ministrators, as private citizens, to ask
former county administrators to ap
point fair price committees and inr a

i these committees they cr,n begin op-

"I had early informed Attorney Gcn

Two things have contributed to make
it difficult for the President to get from
the Senate the kind of trenty ratifica
tion thai will be agreeable to him. One
wns bis own speeches in the Northwesl
nnd the oilier was William C. Bullitt's
testimony before the foreign relations I

For the President to say ever again
thnt the reservations should not be put
into the resolution of ratification is (o

mittee nt (he White House.
Wilson Disregarded Advice
On thnt occasion ho wns advised to
say nothing nt all or go the whole dis
tnnce nod accept interpretation reserva
tions. Hint was sound ndvice ami
ennie from the wisest Democrats in the I
Semite. It should have been followed.
To repent il now is In repent it nt u j

Ilullift Hard to Combat
In addition is Mr. Rullitt's testimony.
This testimony is difficult to deny or j
dispose of. There is little new iu it.'
All that Mr. Hullitt says was iu sub-
stance known at Paris. I

Mr. Bullitt's testimony Is a sort of
heightened, vivid anil overemphasised
version of the truth. Hut Mr. Wilson
brought the damage Mr. Hullitt has
done upon himself, by his bad organiza
tion, by his almost contemptuous treat
ment of his normal adviser, the secre
tary nf stale, and by his failure In etn
the silly expedition of Hullitt.

The net effect of (he damage of yes
terday will be words, words thnt Mr,
Wilson will not like, and the Demo-
crnte generally will not vole for. There
is no reason to change the view that
the reservations will he merely inter
pretative. That is too firmly settled.
If nny one had real enthusiasm for
the league of nations. Mr. Hullitt's tell
ing all over ii'jnln vividly and dramat
ically the story of the follies and weak
nesses of Paris would have hurt deeply.
Hut there is no such person.
League a Choice of Kvils
People are for the league as a choice
of evils. Mr. Hullitt merely gives nil
over again a new view and n heightened
view of the evils, but (hat they were
there every one knew.
Minds are made up to accept the
trenty, to accept it with reservations,
iu the resolution, n riling to prece
dent, reservations that arc merely In
terpretative. The sole question is phraseology.
Shnll we make a "wry face" as we
enter the league'.' The chances now
favor n "wry face." Thanks to Presi
dent Wilson primarily, nnd secondarily
to Mr. Huliitt.
