Moore, a Negro waiter who was elect ed a member ot the Missouri house of representatives from St. Louis, Sat urday told his Republican colleagues in a session at the Planters hotel that he expected to accept the advice of friends to "sit qiuetly and look on during the proceedings of the Fifty- first general assembly at Jefferson City. Moore, whose district Includes the "silk stocking" wards in the west end of St. Louis, did not arrive at the hotel until after the represeutatves had finished their dinner. He was until recently a waiter at the City club here. He was introduced in his regular turn by Lieut. Gov.-elect Hiram Lloyd, whose call for the Republican house members to come here to "get acquainted" was answered by only about 25 members outside of St. Louis. There was a generous ap plause as Moore rose to his feet. Gave Meeting Coloring. "I suppose you fellow representa tives are thinking that I would have a bit of stage fright in appearing be fore yau, said Moore. "I am placed in a peculiar, yet a distinguished posi tion by having been the first man of color elected to sit In the Missouri legislature. I was agraid that I might not get here Saturday, but for fear that the meeting would not have the proper coloring, as Mr. Lay has so beautifully put it, I am glad to be with you. (Lay is the representative of Crawford county and during a short speech had referred to the meet? ing as having the "proper coloring.") 'I probably have received more ad vice than any other representative or representative-elect," continued Mooro I have been advised to sit qiuetly and look on. I think that it is good advice. "I want to cooperate with you mem bers in seeing the complete program of the Republican party carried out In Missouri. The raising ot our edu cational standards Is probably the greatest problem which confronts the general assembly." Tribute From O'Fallon. Rep. Sam F. O'Fallon, of Holt coun ty, who probabdy will be ro-elected speaker ot the house, in a speech paid a rather glowing tribute to the Negro member-elect. r "I hope the Negro member will not feel out of place because he is the first one to servo with the white members," said O'Fallon. "It is only through tho Republican party that he can serve In the Missouri legislature I am glad that he Is hero."
