Norman Matton Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a leading
American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the
Socialist Party of America. He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in
1911. As a candidate for President of the U. S., Norman Thomas said, in a
1944 epoch speech:
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the
name of "liberalism", they will adopt every fragment of the socialist
program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing
how it happened."

He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for
the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."
