The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogr)am).
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.
Enjoy today’s cryptogram
Whew!

It took a little while to come together into the gibberish that it is, but it fell together nicely.
When I was about 14 the author made a campaign appearance a few blocks from my house when he was running for Senator from New York. I was standing at one of the barricades, trying to shake his hand, but he bypassed me, but at least I made eye contact. He began his speech by saying, “It would be great if most of you were old enough to vote for me.” < audience laughs> Voting age was 21 at the time.
Marxists love to talk about the collective and redistribution of wealth - they never want to talk about people minding their own business.
Thanks.
So I guess it was Senior.
Author was obvious to me. The rest fell in place.
