President Roosevelt and others class
Moyer, Haywood and other labor leaders
as undesirable citizens.
For my part I am glad to be classed with them.

Mother Jones News for April: Found Touring in Texas
During the month of April 1907, Mother was found touring Texas and giving speeches on Socialism, on economic conditions, and in support of Charles Moyer and Bill Haywood who remain imprisoned in Idaho.
From The Fort Worth Telegram of April 3, 1907:
SOCIALISTS PLAN AN ACTIVE YEAR
—–Mother Jones and E. V. Debs
Among Speakers Scheduled
—–To The Telegram:
The Socialists in this city are making plans for a great propaganda work this summer.
Local Fort Worth meets every Sunday at 3 p. m. in Red Men’s hall, and never fails to have an interesting program.
They recently collected $125 to defray expenses of a representative to the Moyer-Haywood-Pettibone trial in Idaho. W. M. McClain was chosen to go and left last week for the scene of the impending trial.
The next lecturer to visit Fort Worth will be Mother Jones, who will be here some time during this month.
