Edward E. Moore (March 12, 1866 – October 23, 1940) was a teacher, newspaper editor and publisher, author and lawyer who served in the Indiana Senate from 1905 to 1913.

[1] He was a member of several clubs, including the Knights of Pythias, the Improved Order of Red Men, Odd Fellows, and the Indiana Editorial Association.

"[3][4] Moore entered politics in 1898 when he ran for a seat in the Indiana House of Representatives as a Republican, but lost the race.

[5] Moore's first bid for public office in Los Angeles, as mayor in 1923, fell short when he came in third with 7,175 votes, against 61,766 for the incumbent George E. Cryer, and Bert L. Farmer with 17,672.

At that time the district encompassed the Hyde Park and Angeles Mesa annexations, Vermont Avenue south to 62nd Street, and a shoestring strip leading to Westchester, Mines Field and the Hyperion sewage screening plant.

[3][6][7] He was chairman of the council's public utilities committee[8] and in 1925 voted in favor of establishing a unified rail station near the Plaza,[9] where it now stands.
