Chapter 390 The real test
"Just calling for white people's rights can create such a big response in the South? Should I be happy or sad?" Alice Roosevelt said softly after a long silence, "I thought the Civil War was over long ago."
"It is indeed over long ago! But the war cannot change people's understanding. People are xenophobic in society. It's like we are talking about democracy and you shut up." Sheffield shrugged and said indifferently, " Elections inherently bring this kind of problem."
"I even have a feeling that my father will lose!" Alice Roosevelt looked at the flow of people below. She was also frightened by the flow of 200,000 people. This should be the first time in an election that such a crowd appeared. Large crowds gather.
Oh! Really? Looking at the cheering crowd below, Sheffield was still calm in his heart. It would have been nice if there was a capitalist economic crisis during this period. It is a pity that Roosevelt's first term escaped this time point. , the weather is not on the side of the Democratic Party.
However, Sheffield also knew that it was useless to be impatient. He could not eat a fat man in one bite. He was satisfied that he could achieve part of his goal.
At least what happened today has built up the momentum of the Democratic Party. It has changed from the previous dejection in the Democratic camp. The endless flow of people was recorded through aerial photography on a hot air balloon in mid-air. This kind of aerial photography was later used in It was published in the New Orleans Morning News and was immediately reprinted by pro-Democratic newspapers everywhere.
"The entire citizenry of New Orleans welcomes Parker!" "Alton Parker received an unimaginable welcome in the South." Such reports appeared in newspapers, and were used by many newspapers. The recovery of white consciousness came to To show that this record-breaking rally was carried out, side reports were made with strange words.
Of course, this is what Sheffield's own media and newspapers reported. After this rally, the morale of the Democratic camp was shaken, which made the Republican Party unable to sit still. Prince Prinzer's New York Times joined the battle, and the New York Times reported on the Northeast States have strong influence, and the Boston Globe followed suit.
I think the Democratic Party is making a fuss out of a molehill by manipulating ethnic issues, because this time the Democratic Party has released too obvious a xenophobic signal. It has reached the bottom line of ethnic issues. In this way, the Republican Party does not need to propose anything, and does not need any commitment to black people. It only needs to maintain the status quo. .
The New York Times also invited Du Bois, who had left Richmond, to conduct a special report. When faced with the New York Times report, Du Bois used a low-profile attitude to say that there were indeed many black people. You need to integrate into mainstream society and be able to gain a foothold in a great country. However, the Democratic Party cannot deprive you of this right. A great country should have a touch of tolerance.
At this point, the public opinion between the two parties finally broke out into a full-scale war of words. The New York Times newspaper was soon sent to Oak Manor by telegram.
"We don't care about anything, whether it's the economy, the navy, or trusts. We won't mention anything. As long as we don't take action, these issues won't become more popular. We will only mention ethnic issues." Sheffield was wearing overalls and holding a golf ball. The man was wearing a very weird attire. He knocked the golf ball away with one stroke, threw the club away and said, "The war of words in public opinion requires the cooperation of both parties."
"How can you win if you only use ethnic issues as a breakthrough point?" Alice Roosevelt, who was in the tiger's mouth, reached out and touched the hair on her ears, looking particularly charming, and asked a substantive question.
It can’t be said that Sheffield pays more attention to ethnic issues than winning, right? Moreover, these issues related to people’s livelihood, it would be better not to mention them, because raising the Democratic Party’s already low hope of victory may completely ruin it. This is all
This is an area where the Republican Party has done quite well.
"Alice, of course there is a reason for what I do." Sheffield couldn't admit that he was hitting the wall. But in fact, he only mentioned ethnic issues. It was because apart from ethnic issues, the Democratic Party had nothing to offer.
thing.
Only this topic can come and go in public opinion. Whether it is positive or negative, the popularity of public opinion is useful, at least it will attract greater attention.
What to do if the strength is not enough? If the topic spreads to other fields, is it not asking for trouble? Strength is the root of all problems. Xiaomi mobile phones have already stepped into other categories. If you don’t find the most popular manufacturer, once the popularity drops, it will
It's really completely hopeless.
Of course, the Democratic Party is not as miserable as that assembly plant. Although the ethnic issue is not good in publicity, it can be regarded as a trump card in the United States. Seizing the ethnic issue is a close contest, not a clash between comprador companies and industry giants.
"Boss, Houston is ready!" Jesla strode over and greeted Alice Roosevelt politely, "Our motorcade is ready. Let's go there anytime."
"Prepare a boat and we'll go by boat." Sheffield changed the route temporarily.
"Okay, let's get ready right away." Jesra was not surprised at all. He was already accustomed to his boss's temporary changes in travel methods.
At the same time as the Houston rally was held, the current President Roosevelt, who had always been considered a sure winner, announced his policy strategy for the first time, including the issue of naval construction, the international responsibility strategy of the United States of America, and his tough attitude towards trust companies.
"This Roosevelt just can't forget about trust companies, right?" In the Rockefeller estate, young Rockefeller was rarely angry. He was not usually like this, but this had already involved the interests of Standard Oil, and he could not maintain his usual modesty and demeanor.
Now, little Rockefeller actually had the idea of hoping for Sheffield to create a miracle. Anyone could be the president. As long as this annoying Roosevelt is not allowed to stay in the White House.
The slave owner might feel very pleased knowing that his brother-in-law had high hopes for him. As the headquarters of the United Company, Texas, like other states in the South, naturally extended a warm welcome to Alton Parker's arrival.
All newspapers in the state published news of support for Alton Parker, uniformly. Since Alton Parker's team arrived in Texas, they have welcomed a steady stream of entrepreneurs, farmers, politicians' children and workers.
The visit of the representatives, the large number of people and the wide range of social strata involved, astonished the judge.
After a period of lecture tour, Alton Parker initially used some qualifying words to tactfully express his understanding of ethnic issues, but now he has become more and more skilled and accustomed to it. His words have become more and more explicit.
They are becoming more and more unabashed and bluntly stating that the country is built on the hard work and efforts of the white ethnic group. Although other ethnic groups have not made any contributions, they cannot be compared with the main group of white people.
After his speech in Houston, Alton Parker went directly to Los Angeles. Los Angeles had been waiting for a long time and also convened a rally of more than 30,000 people to cheer up Alton Parker's campaign.
"The situation in Los Angeles really surprised me. It seems that it is very useful for me to take a group of friends to the Great West." Sheffield is pleased that his many years of efforts on the West Coast have yielded results. Because of the distribution of the population, northern states have
There are many more electoral votes than in the South. Pennsylvania and New York are the places with the most electoral votes, followed by Illinois and Ohio. These states all have more than 20 electoral votes. The elections in New York and Pennsylvania
There are more than thirty votes per person.
As for Texas, the largest state in the South, the number of electoral votes in this election is 19. If the Democratic Party and the Republican Party retain their basic base at the same time, the Republican Party can double the number of Democrats. The reality is so cruel.
Alice Roosevelt, who was holding the pen, put down the pen and came to the same conclusion. During the time with Sheffield, she became an election expert, speculating on the possibilities. But the other party in the election was his father, the current incumbent.
Roosevelt, the president of the country, always gave Alice Roosevelt a magical feeling in her heart.
"In fact, in the current election, the Democratic Party is at a disadvantage because one place is not eligible for election. This place is New Mexico. Texas has a huge influence in this area. The relationship between the local Indians and our family is
Not bad." Sheffield sighed. These places without voting rights would later become the three states of Arizona and New Mexico.
This area has a small population and is the main base for human smuggling in Sheffield and Ottoman. If all the electoral votes are counted, the total should be about the same as the electoral votes in Texas.
Sheffield did not regret anything. These places did not become official states and joined the United States, which at least gave him time to operate. Three or two electoral votes would not have much effect if they joined too early. Good cards need to be played at critical moments.
After his speech in California, the real test for Alton Parker has just begun, as he now enters a traditionally Republican-leaning district.
The great success of Alton Parker's rally in Los Angeles also shocked the Republican camp. California is no longer a strong vote base for the Democratic Party. The previous fall of California into the hands of the Democratic Party was considered by many Republicans to be an accident.
Now that Alton Parker is so popular in California, many Republicans feel that this is not the second William Bryan. Only now does the Republican camp really feel that it is facing a formidable enemy. Even Roosevelt
