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.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

He had the same first name as my paternal grandfather. Poor man.
It's gonna be that time of year again, soon.
Today’s author was an anti-union socialist, who died along with his wife, in the sinking of the Lusitania.
Pretty straightforward, but

doesn’t make all that much sense to me.
Still better than L. Ron though....
Well, one way is to guess the first word, which makes the second kinda obvious. Well, if not obvious, then not obscure. Which is another hint.
Never heard of the author.
I will not tell anyone how to solve the second word!
