Chapter 390 Alice in Wonderland
Roosevelt only briefly talked about unity and hatred, and then explained how the United States will usher in the American Century in the new century, and once again emphasized that many large companies take advantage of first-mover advantages and use unreasonable means to prevent competitors from joining.
This has a negative effect on the domestic environment.
Roosevelt met the challenge of the Democratic Party with a high profile, took economic development as the central idea of his speech, and made a strong and confident statement, which won the applause of the Republicans.
Evelyn Manor in Los Angeles, this is the manor Sheffield built next to the original Hollywood Manor and gave it to Evelyn, and used it as a place for him to live in Los Angeles. Of course, during Alton Parker's itinerary in Los Angeles, he did not
Coming to live here, Evelin just knew that her man had arrived.
The entire manor was built using the highest quality materials. Thanks to the inexpensive land prices in Los Angeles, the cost was still within an acceptable range. When the mistress came out to greet the slave owner, her eyes lingered on Alice Roosevelt for a moment, and she didn't notice.
He spoke and showed Alice Roosevelt around the manor without changing his expression.
He also offered to visit the Hollywood movie base with Alice Roosevelt, and received an enthusiastic response from Alice Roosevelt. She had already heard of the famous Hollywood name.
Alice Roosevelt had a different personality from her father and was not a traditional woman. Otherwise, she would not have driven to St. Louis to participate in the Olympics by herself. Alice Roosevelt was full of curiosity about many novel things.
"Miss Evelyn, what is your relationship with the boss of this joint company?" When visiting Hollywood, Alice Roosevelt saw no one around and quietly asked the question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time. She always felt that this
Wealthy women seem to have some connection with Sheffield, who dominates the southern states.
"We? Partners!" Evelin smiled as usual and added in her mind, "The biggest cooperation project at the moment is the birth of a daughter."
Evelin also didn't expect that this person was President Roosevelt's daughter. In fact, few people knew that President Roosevelt had a daughter before this. Evelin was also a little confused about why Alice Roosevelt was with Sheffield. She also
A man who doesn't know who he is, a die-hard Democratic Party donor. They have been bound together almost since the Civil War.
Although not all the big families in the South did not develop well after the Civil War. For example, the Duke family and the tobacco king James Duke were also very wealthy, no less than Morgan himself. But the tobacco king has washed away his partisan colors.
.
"At the critical moment of the campaign, you actually brought the president's daughter with you, and she is still so beautiful." Evelin returned to the manor and looked at Sheffield with resentment, "You are not afraid of losing the election because of this."
"This has nothing to do with whether she is beautiful or not. With our base, elections after the Civil War are twice as difficult as those of the Republican Party. When competing for votes in swing states, we must win big to shake the Yankee base. This is really
It's too difficult." Sheffield said with a gloomy face, "The candidate must have enough prestige to attract the middle voters, and also have the opportunity to be on our side. William Bryan is such a person. When he was elected
It also happened to coincide with the economic recession, but even so, we lost. The Democratic Party simply could not win using normal means. This is already the case, why are we still afraid of discussing ethnic issues?"
After the Civil War, and in many elections until now, the Democratic Party has only won the popular vote once. Even during President Cleveland's two terms, he lost the popular vote to the Republican Party. The only popular vote the Democratic Party has ever won was lost to the Republican Party.
The Republican Party was defeated. That time was a famous election fraud, because the southern states were still under military control, and the Democratic Party finally admitted defeat.
"Then you still put so much energy into the election?" From Sheffield's ears, Evelin could understand the difficulties involved and naturally wanted to know this man's purpose.
"My purpose is simple. If the Democratic Party wins in California, it means that my efforts are effective and I can change the public opinion in a place. At the same time, I want to know how many white people will stand on our side. As long as I get this after the election
Data is not a loss." Sheffield held his head high and said, "This is even more important than whether we win or not."
You can choose elections many times. If it doesn’t work this time, there will be another one. But if you want to know the inner thoughts of the white people, you can’t just send someone to ask with a pen. Until the real critical moment, the person being investigated will
Will lie.
Taking a very ugly general election in history and using it to conduct a public opinion poll that will never be biased. Sheffield thinks this is very worthwhile. This is actually paying for data. As long as he has the exact number of votes, next time
It is certain to overturn the long-term advantage of the Republican Party.
Of course, it’s still the same sentence. If he wins, there are not many financial backers who have supported the Democratic Party for a long time. If the Democratic Party wins, he will definitely get the biggest piece of cake. Although he can be one step ahead by relying on his memory, who would be willing to run away in the car?
Woolen cloth.
As the days passed, the most divisive election in history became more and more heated, sparking discussion among citizens and accompanied by calls from civil rights leader Du Bois, calling on black voters with electoral votes to boycott
Democratic candidates, and suggested that the black community use their votes to defend their rights.
Compared with the liveliness of the Republican camp, Sheffield is obviously much boring because the propaganda point is only one ethnic issue. Although this advantage is explosive enough, focusing on one thing for a long time can easily lead to fatigue.
Just like aspirin is claimed to be a miracle drug, but it is not effective for all diseases. Many important Republican leaders, both current and retired, came out to criticize the extreme remarks of the Democratic Party. This criticism soon led to even more extreme remarks.
The election was so chaotic that the scope even expanded beyond the borders of the United States.
Many Latin American countries are mixed-race countries, and there are many black ethnic groups in the country. Naturally, the Democratic Party's ideas are unpopular in these countries. Many ambassadors from these countries living in Washington have expressed concerns about this on different occasions.
Newspapers that support the Democratic Party countered that the United States is different from other Latin American countries. The United States is a country where white people have an absolute majority, and is more similar to European countries than Latin American countries.
The culprit of all this was still learning to drive in Los Angeles, preparing to compete with Alice Roosevelt. After a few days of hard work, Sheffield gave up on this boring move. There was no need to learn this skill for safety.
"It's so nice here!" Alice Roosevelt stood on the beach and looked at the sea in the distance. "The climate here is very comfortable!"
Seeing the fine sweat on Alice Roosevelt's forearm, when the other party looked at him, the slave owner promptly looked back. The daughter of the scholar-president looked up into the distance. Naturally, she didn't see anything. She agreed with her face and said, "This should be
It is the most livable place in our country, and many people will definitely settle here in the future."
Although the slave owner said that the South is the coldest, the hottest, and the most livable, isn't that an argument? Faced with the Yankees, of course he can make conclusions that violate common sense without blinking. If he really thinks, how many times can Los Angeles
In ten years, it has formed a threat to the New York metropolis, which must be extraordinary.
The livable climate should be considered a very big advantage, let alone how fertile the land here is. The truly fertile land is in the hands of the Dixie and Yankee people.
"Listening to what you said, I almost want to buy a house here." Alice Roosevelt smiled and agreed very much with what Sheffield said was livable. She already liked it here.
"What's the trouble? I can give you a set." Sheffield chuckled and said lazily, "As long as you like it, I can buy the entire beach for you."
But this look of wealth and billions did not move Alice Roosevelt's heart. Although this period of time was the rare time she had spent alone with a man since she was a child, she knew that the man in front of her was not easy to mess with, so she said, "
Do you think you can buy everything in the world?"
"Don't say that, it's just most of them!" Sheffield looked up at the sky and said hesitantly, "Wait a minute, I'm thinking about things I can't buy. I'll answer you when I think of it."
Just when Alice Roosevelt wanted to listen to her lecture, Sheffield suddenly turned around and walked away, waving his hands as he walked and saying, "I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it."
"This bad guy!" Alice Roosevelt looked at Sheffield's back and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. She followed quickly, "You must have never imagined it."
The days of Alice in Wonderland will continue. Alice Roosevelt continues to follow Sheffield, always having first-hand information about the hostile camps in this election, but it has not been conveyed. Sheffield claimed that the election was fair.
, to keep Alice Roosevelt out of her sight and prevent her from tipping off the Republican Party.
Alice Roosevelt could only accept this and followed Sheffield to listen to the other party's deployment of troops.
"Midwestern polls are unreliable! Du Bois called on blacks to boycott the Democratic Party? It doesn't matter, they are not counted at all!" Sheffield was multitasking, talking on the phone and taking a cigar out of his pocket.
Placed directly on the table, only a crisp cutting sound was heard, and the cut cigar returned to Sheffield's mouth.
"What is there to say now? There are still two weeks, so make a choice." Sheffield licked his lips, glanced at Alice Roosevelt nonchalantly and said, "Who said I lost!? I am prepared to win.
How many!"
