“...couple of anecdotes which show the quiet fun he could have at the expense of false pride and airs, while at the same time he could give a neat little lesson to the presumptuous. He was riding in the smoker of the parlor car on a New York Central train with his friend Joseph Darling just after the corrupt election campaign of Flower for Governor of New York State. Darling and Flower were acquainted, but Dar- ling was out of the smoker and Flower sat in the chair next to De Leon, who, while he recognized Flower, paid no atten- .tion to him. De Leon was smoking his clay pipe, as was his custom, and soon became aware that Flower was observing him. He thought that possibly he took offence at a clay pipe tn a parlor smoker, but presently, when the train passed Hav- erstraw, Flower said: I polled a large vote here. De Leon looked up startled and said: Is that sol Were you running for constable? No, said the Governor-elect, I have been elected Governor of the State, I am Roswell P. Flower. Oh! said...”

“...imitations of crooked capitalist politics, but only in a powerful, class- conscious Socialist organization, which, at the same time as it secures the political power for the workers, also creates the economic power which is necessary to back up that right. However, De Leon would feel deeply wounded could he perceive our giving over a single moment at this hour, when action is needed, to moping over his death. Such was not his idea of a soldier in the revolutionary movement. Not for that did he train and inspire us. He has given his contribution to to the Movementthe tactics and the constructive basis. It is for us to build. And in this work of building, in this activity, De Leon is the active, living force today. This I realized as soon as I had gotten over the first shock of his death, but how infinitely more have I not come to real- ize it since events conspired to throw me to the helm...”

“...reached me at Ogden, Utah, on the 19th inst., where I arrived tired in body and preoccupied in mind. I was tired in body from a four days trying railroad travel from Denver, broken up by frequent freight wrecks which delayed my journey; from two consecutive nights sleep- ing on the train, and able to board the train, one night not be- fore 1.30 a m., the second as late as 2.30 a. m.; from being ashorein Cripple Creek, Florence, and Grand Junction either addressing meetings, or, up to the late (early) hours of boarding the trains, in constant conference with friends and party members, whom it was necessary to confer with; finally, from the culminating trial of physical endurance experienced in Salt Lake, where my train reached ten hours later than schedule time, and half an hour after the hour announced for the meeting, where, due to this delay, I had to be driven straight to the meeting, and, due to the dining car having been removed at noon, I had to speak upon a ten hours fast; finally, where...”

“...WITH DE LEON SINCE 89. 151 ed to be at the previous conventions; in fact, he too looked as though he had traveled all the way from Seattle by freight train. De Leons Rebuke to Slummists Sl John had his physical force well organized to back up his arg^uments. De Leon had faced many varieties of antago- nists in the labor movement, and he faced this variety with the same composure and courage born of knowledge and in- tegrity. Such remarks as, I would like, to get a punch at the pope, were overheard in the hall among the Overall Brigaders, but not loud enough to reach De Leons ears. Had not St. John, ably assisted by Heslewood, the day before the convention opened tried his pugilistic skill on Delegate Francis? De Leon told them whither they were driftingto slum- mism, to Anarchy, to the movements destruction. When, in the course of his remarks, De Leon mentioned the fact that he had been dared to come, Cole, the very one who had his name signed to the letter in the Industrial Union Bulletin...”

“...ient and could stand alone, refusing compromise and condemning fusion the undaunted Socialist Labor Party. He gave it a purpose and a goal. He found it a movement in the hands of those, however well meaning, who could not grasp the genius or spirit of American institutions, and who while conforming in dress and manners to American ideas, still kept their thoughts and language in glazed peaked caps and wooden shoes, pat- terning all things political after European models, and en- deavoring to train the young giant of the West in the strict and narrow school of European tyranny. He found its advocates and teachers speaking and working in fustian, aping and phrasing the shibboleths of bourgeois ideals and concerning themselves with bourgeois reforms and measures; looking for success to the barricades or to a jacquerie, or waiting and watching for a Napoleon or a Christ. He found a movement bowing to everything calling it- self labor, without examining its claims or contesting its right, and...”
