Named to replace Henry Clay Armstrong, who was removed by the Pensacola City Council for his support of Republican presidential candidate Alf Landon, Moyer reportedly told the council, "I assure you gentlemen you have elected a good, strong Democrat." He died shortly thereafter.[1] Max Bear, the only council member who had opposed removing Armstrong, was subsequently named mayor pro tem.
