Maximillian Sebastian "Max" Hayes (1866–1945) was a newspaper editor, trade union activist, and socialist politician. In 1912 Hayes became the first candidate to challenge Samuel Gompers for the presidency of the American Federation of Labor in nearly a decade, drawing about 30% of the vote in his losing effort. Hayes is best remembered as the long-time editor of the Cleveland Citizen and as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Farmer-Labor Party ticket in 1920.

“There is no assurance of the great fact in question [namely, immortality]. All the arguments are mere probabilities, analogies, fancies, whims. We believe, or disbelieve, or are in doubt according to our own make-upto accidents, to education, to environment. For myself, I do not reach either faith or belief ... that Ithe conscious person talking to youwill meet you in the world beyondyou being yourself a conscious personthe same person now reading what I say.”
