Definitely I stand for a progressive reorganization of society--for a fairer social order and a practical system of cooperative industry, the only logical method of increasing production without reducing the labourer to the old disorganized slavery.

I believe in the trite formula we workers preach--in the eight-hour day, the old age pension, which is only the inevitable step from the mother's pension, the gradual nationalization of mines and railroads.

I believe in these things which are the commonplace of to-morrow; but it is not because of my beliefs that the people follow me.

It is something bigger than all this that catches the crowd.

What the people see in me is not the man who believes, but the man who acts.
