Chapter 493 Chief Director Sheffield
In such an election year, a die-hard supporter of the Democratic Party is fooling around with the daughter of a Republican president. If it happened to anyone else, this would be unreasonable. But if it happened to the slave owner himself, it would be a humiliation and a sacrifice to feed a tiger to win over the Republican Party.
Although these so-called secrets are known to any citizen who cares about the election.
As the general director of the Democratic Party, what Sheffield hopes most is that the interests of Southern citizens and Midwestern citizens will converge. Otherwise, he will fail due to demographic disadvantage. Many past elections have proven that if we really want to unite the basic base,
The Democrats are no match for the Republicans.
When forging iron, one must be hard-working, maintain unity within the Democratic Party, and at the same time, hope that Republican conservatives supported by big business can cause trouble for Roosevelt as much as possible. It is best for the two to appear at the same time, which is what Sheffield is most looking forward to.
Even when he was kneeling to Alice Roosevelt, Sheffield did not forget to adjust his election strategy, allowing citizens from the two basic bases to come together to overthrow the rule of the Republican Party.
New York is a good place, and it is easy to communicate with Alton Parker. In the past two days, William Bryan has announced his candidacy, followed closely by Alton Parker. The two major candidates of the Democratic Party have successively expressed their intention to participate in the presidential race.
This is something that can very stabilize your determination.
The specific itinerary has almost been finalized. William Bryan will use Los Angeles as his campaign headquarters, and Alton Parker will hold a general meeting in New Orleans. One will focus on the Midwest, and the other will focus on the southern base. This time the national election
, finally looks like this is what happened.
"William, John, you are really rare guests." Young Morgan saw two bastards who were both enemies and friends coming to the door at the Morgan Building, and he expressed his welcome in a false way.
"Isn't Mr. Morgan here?" Sheffield asked first. Old Morgan has returned to China. If he hadn't been tricked by him and couldn't come back from France, normally he should be in charge of the Morgan Building.
"My father's health is not good, and I don't want him to have to work too hard." The way little Morgan spoke at this time seemed much more sincere.
Sheffield raised his eyebrows lightly, and little Morgan spoke? It seemed to mean something else, as if it felt like one day he would finally get what he wanted. Could it be that he had succeeded in seizing power? If this is the case, it is indeed worthy of joy. How can the world have forty years?
The prince?
"Congratulations then. At least when we discuss it, it will be much easier if there is no old man around." Little Rockefeller said in a sympathetic tone, nodding towards Sheffield, as if he wanted to be recognized.
Sheffield was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, John is right, the communication between us is easier."
Only then did the slave owner remember that the three business owners, who had a rather complicated relationship, actually had one thing in common that was not easily noticed by ordinary people, that is, they showed their dominance as monopoly capitalists to the outside world, but in fact they all had a common identity, that is, they had real family members.
The people in power, the Big Three of New Rome, are actually three mama's boys, but the severity is different.
While he is devouring thousands of miles to the outside world, he still has to listen to the advice of his elders at home when he has nothing to do. In the world of Xianxia, this is equivalent to being the head of three sects, each of which has a Supreme Elder.
Little Morgan is the one with the strongest attributes of a mom's baby, but now it seems that he has successfully dealt with the financial crisis and allowed his father to truly delegate power instead of semi-retiring in name. In any case, this is something worthy of congratulations
things.
We are all adults, and who wants to be guided all the time? Just like Roosevelt and Taft, it is a very greedy act for a president who is out of office to control a sitting president.
When she came to Morgan Tower, Sheffield naturally came here for the election, to listen to the opinions of Morgan and Rockefeller. In fact, the three of them had already talked about the election during the financial crisis at the end of last year.
"Now it seems that we are the real smart people, and we have foreseen some of the future." Sheffield began to praise Morgan and Rockefeller. Of course, he mainly praised himself. "Roosevelt seems to have found a loyal executor of the policy.
I wonder what you two think about continuing to suppress the conservatives of the Republican Party? Can you nip the danger in the bud?"
The so-called danger in the bud was Taft introduced by Roosevelt. Although the three of them, including Sheffield, did not believe in any great friendship in their hearts, they would rather believe in its existence than its absence.
At that time, everyone felt that it was very safe for Roosevelt to become a transparent person in the position of vice president, but what happened next? It brought everyone trouble for seven years, and no one was willing to fall into the same trap twice.
"During his two terms, Roosevelt brought a lot of changes to the Republican Party. To be honest, it is very difficult to get rid of the candidates he supported. This cannot be achieved through financial calculations," Xiao said.
Morgan shook his head slightly, not sure about the Republican primary. He changed the subject and asked, "What about the Democratic Party?"
If the Republican Party's attack fails, as a last resort, it can only pin its hopes on the Democratic Party. Although he is a long-term supporter of the Republican Party, this kind of thing is not necessarily unchangeable.
Hearing Morgan Jr.'s question, Sheffield sighed, "In terms of strength comparison, the Democratic Party has always been slightly weaker than the Republican Party. You also know this. Now the two most vocal candidates, William Bryan and Alton Parker,
Combined, they lost to the Republicans three times in a row."
Sheffield is not deliberately showing weakness. From the process of the last three elections, it can be seen at a glance which of the two parties is stronger. Although this time the slave owners believe that it is very certain to overthrow the Republican Party, but before it happens,
People would just think that the slave owner was bragging.
After hearing this, little Rockefeller finally spoke, "William Bryan? Is there any difference between this man and Roosevelt? It seems that Roosevelt has already done everything he wants to do. I don't like this man."
"Actually, judging from the current support rate of the Democratic Party, Alton Parker's support rate is higher." Sheffield said to be calm. The chance of William Bryan becoming a threat is actually far lower than that of Taft, who was supported by Roosevelt.
.
Most supporters of the Democratic Party still prefer the idea of white supremacy. It is not twelve years ago now. William Bryan's rival William McKinley has been dead for a long time. Times have changed, my lord!
Concerning the candidates within the Democratic Party this time, the allies of the United Company naturally also have ideas. Who is more certain to win, William Bryan or Alton Parker? After coming to this conclusion, everyone has a different attitude towards the candidates.
, the differences became even wider, especially after William Bryan officially announced his candidacy, the opinions of both sides became more contradictory. Those who advocated supporting Alton Parker believed that Alton Parker's support for white supremacy could be seen as an opportunity.
William Bryan is an absolute pragmatist. It is impossible to implement effective control over such a person. Therefore, only a fundamental combination of interests, especially making him realize the importance of the South, can make him
He sat down on the chessboard sincerely.
The opposing side believes that whoever supports them must be cautious at this time. William Bryan's ideas are similar to Roosevelt's. There is no guarantee that he will not weaken his base and start acting nonsense when he becomes president. On the contrary, Alton Parker seems to be acceptable.
, even judging from the three defeats of the two men, Alton Parker has a greater chance of winning against the Republican Party.
In the end, this debate came to a conclusion, and the opinion supporting Alton Parker was recognized by the majority of people.
"If you cannot achieve your goals in the Republican Party, I now feel a heavy responsibility. It seems that I have to show a serious attitude and direct a good show." Sheffield bit the cigarette butt and said without hesitation, "
There has never been a time when I felt that the fate of the country depended on me."
Regarding Sheffield's boasting, the two of them pretended not to see it. This was not the first time they had seen this kind of narcissistic attitude. Morgan had to remind him, "You also said that compared to the strength of the Republican Party, the Democratic Party is still small.
Some."
"Who knows if a miracle will happen if you don't do it!" Sheffield glanced at little Morgan and blurted out, "If you destroy the candidate supported by Roosevelt, everything will be solved."
"I'm a gentleman!" Little Morgan said with a reserved look on his face, "I wouldn't do such a thing!"
"Oh, I can see it." Sheffield's perfunctory face was already written on his face. The gentleman did not hesitate to create a financial crisis in order to establish the Federal Reserve, but in the end he couldn't survive it when it got too big.
This is probably the case. William Bryan, the Democratic Party's major candidate, uses Los Angeles as his rallying center, while Alton Parker uses New Orleans as his headquarters. In the end, the two will duke it out at the National Democratic Convention in Chicago.
And now, Sheffield is going back to New Orleans to work as a producer himself. During the last election, he had a trump card that he wanted to use, but in the end he didn't move it. It was the Ku Klux Klan, which was flourishing among the people.
This time is when their contribution is needed.
In Los Angeles, William Bryan faced his supporters and loudly appealed that if he could win the election, he would calm down the lawless bankers, focus on balancing the interests of farmers in the Midwest, and pay attention to vulnerable groups and provide worker protection.
