The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

DeWolf Hopper, a vaudevillian, made a living traveling the country giving performances of all thirteen verses of today's puzzle, en claire, of course. He is more well known today as the father of William Hopper, with his wife Hedda. William Hopper portrayed Perry Mason's sidekick, Paul Drake in the long running TV series.
William Hopper, prewar, post Perry Mason, as a USMC Diver in the Pacific during World War II. Ironically, DeWolf Hopper and Gail Patrick (later Gail Patrick Jackson, Executive Producer of Perry Mason) co-starred in a film in the 1930's.
Couldn’t hit that Major League curveball.

Joe Biden said this in the Stephanopolis interview.
I’ve seen EXMCQU ICX in quotation marks. I don’t think an editor would add those so I’d guess it was that way in the original.

Thanks.
