In the Senate, Moore's desk was coincidentally located at the extreme right side of the chamber in line, he said, with his strongly held conservative political views. His colleague and seat mate was neighboring Senator [[Harold Montgomery]] of Doyline (pronounced DOY LEAN) in Webster Parish. The two became friendly with freshman Senator [[Edwin Edwards]] of Crowley in Acadia Parish in south Louisiana near [[Lafayette]], but within two years, Edwards had left the state Senate to take a seat in the [[United States House of Representatives]]. Despite their friendship, Moore and Montgomery often cast their votes opposite that of Edwards, who was thereafter elected in 1972 to the first of his four nonconsecutive terms as governor.<ref name=statement/> | In the Senate, Moore's desk was coincidentally located at the extreme right side of the chamber in line, he said, with his strongly held conservative political views.
