Chapter 502 The new president
In fact, sometimes it is not without merit to put forward some extreme ideas. At least the slave owners in the southern states are not worried at all. They just want to see how much they can steal from the north. Including Arizona and New Mexico, there is no need to worry if nothing happens.
New immigrants, especially the Ottoman minorities before coming to the United States, don't think they were discriminated against when they were in the Ottomans, but once they change places, they can also discriminate against others. It is human nature to favor the superiors and suppress the inferiors. And there are
The fanaticism of converts is perfectly normal.
Even before the election, Sheffield felt that this election could be said to have a greater chance of winning, and that he could take off the burden and have a good fight with the Republican camp. The economic depression was not over yet, and the Democratic Party passed laws in the South to deprive blacks of their right to vote.
The entire southern states are impregnable. Harmony is brought about by the economic depression. The economic depression makes life difficult, and workers' awareness of xenophobia has greatly increased. Many people believe that black people have taken our jobs.
The slave owner had been waiting for twelve years at this favorable time, with enemies and weapons in place. If God was still blind this time, he would have nothing to say.
The impact of extreme ideas on this election is the emergence of extreme voters, such as the number of black voters. KKK members wearing white robes are also flocking to polling places in various places, and there are even conflicts to block black voters.
This kind of conflict will definitely be exposed after the election, as a tease for the winner, or an excuse for the loser. Who allows the United States to have a complete and stable political foundation of two parties? This is all to be expected.
This kind of small conflict and friction is very insignificant compared to the 14 million voters today. The choice of these 14 million voters will determine the ownership of the 499 electoral votes.
, the results will determine who is the winner of this election, the Democrats or the Republicans.
However, at 6 o'clock in the morning, many people had already gone out. They were either alone, or meeting up in small groups, or driving cars with their children, or holding posters with the names of the candidates they supported.
Holding it high, they all went to the polling place near their homes. This was a grand event for all people to participate. Everyone hopes that their vote can determine the future of this country.
The voters of the United States in this era are still very cute. Take voting as an example. After deducting half of the population of the United States from women, 8% from blacks, and minors who do not have the right to vote, there are 14 million voters who came out to vote. This ratio can
This is quite high. Voters at the beginning of the century really felt that they could decide the future of the country.
In every borough and in every city, countless people cross the streets and rush to the polls. They have different expectations for the candidates. People who support Taft believe that he is a tough guy who advocates taking action against big business.
The faction, the privileges of some politicians and big businesses, promotes the economy, is committed to solving the increasingly serious unemployment rate, and firmly advocates fighting corruption and reforming the political system. The judge's experience will make the government's management more transparent, and Congressional proposals
The review process is more concise and effective.
This series of propositions is very popular among the progressive people led by Republican Roosevelt. This is the election of the Democratic and Fair Party, and such a candidate needs the full support of the masters of the country.
As for the Democratic voters who supported Alton Parker and William Bryan in the lead, they had a strong curiosity about this pairing. The presidential candidate was also a judge, and the vice presidential candidate was a former political star many years ago.
, William Bryan was also a candidate loved by the majority of citizens, and he also advocated a tough stance on big business.
Sheffield woke up just before noon. He failed to realize his wish to see the election results when he woke up drunk yesterday. He yawned and asked while getting dressed, "Are there any results?"
"The results of the southern states are out, and only New York state in New England has the results." Edith Rockefeller had obviously gotten up early, and she was a little strange when she spoke, "According to previous practice, it shouldn't be so slow."
"It means there's a stalemate. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." Sheffield paused for a moment, then realized, "It's the northern states that are stalemate, so it should be a good thing."
It was already easy here in Sheffield, but Rockefeller and Morgan in New York were really waiting for the election results from beginning to end. After the Republican Party announced its victory in New York State, both of them sighed.
It was exactly the opposite from twelve years ago. At that time, most companies were afraid, fearing that William Bryan would lead the Democratic Party to win. That election made everyone restless. Several large companies jointly bought the media. Bryan was also not to be outdone. The election
He gave more than 500 public speeches during the cycle, inciting the emotions of the oppressed and promising a bright future to the poor.
Now when little Morgan recalls that election, he feels a sense of self-deprecation in his heart. Everyone united together and worked hard to send William McKinley to the position of president, but in the end, Roosevelt took action.
In this election, William Bryan appeared again in the Democratic Party camp, a presidential candidate that everyone was on guard against. Everyone had to pin their hopes on the Democratic Party to prevent Roosevelt's heir from continuing to win the White House.
"Maybe this is life, sometimes things like this happen." For no reason, little Morgan suddenly thought of what Sheffield said in the White House, and the more he thought about it, the more sense he felt.
The news of the Republican victory in New York State gave little Morgan a sense of gloom. Roosevelt's influence was somewhat unexpected, but now that the election was underway, he could only hope that there would be good news from other states.
The extremely bored young Morgan even called the Rockefeller estate. Even though he and the young Rockefeller only had a casual friendship, if it hadn't been for last year's financial crisis, they wouldn't have had much communication at all.
It is often when unpredictable changes occur that the bosses of these big companies are inspired to unite and realize the importance of class unity. This was the case with William Bryan twelve years ago, and it is the same now twelve years later.
"Who is the master of the country? This is a very important question. In fact, Roosevelt did a good job. In addition to being played by three of our big companies during the financial crisis, he has a brilliant resume.
Widely loved by citizens. If there had not been a financial crisis, the Democratic Party would have run away with her again this time. When economic conditions were good, even using the Ku Klux Klan to muddy the waters would have no big effect." Sheffield ate his lunch breakfast while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
He said vaguely, "But who allowed the financial crisis to break out? This is the opportunity for the Democratic Party."
Although many people know that he is correct, in this democratic country, not being correct can win everyone's votes. In front of the ordinary people who support him, many media have greater influence, and those consortiums have more influence.
It can affect the wealth of more people, and extreme propositions can attract the attention of neutrals, so Roosevelt may not necessarily win this election.
"So money can't solve all problems, and no money can solve any problem." Edith Rockefeller came over to clear the dishes and suddenly asked, "What were you doing during the last election? Are you as indifferent as you are now?
."
"The last election?" Sheffield recalled the wonderful night in Los Angeles and licked his lips and said to himself, "I was so drunk that day that I couldn't remember anything."
Time passed by one minute and one second. Sheffield spent the next time walking, walking his dog, bragging, and was thinking about handing over his son. While he was taking a break to decompress, a car stopped at the villa.
Before the door, Jesra opened the door and walked into the villa in three steps and two steps at a time, "The results of Illinois are out, the Democratic Party won."
Sheffield took a deep breath, and the idea of reducing pressure could be postponed for the time being. Illinois is the third largest state in the United States in terms of elections, second only to New York and Pennsylvania. Once it is conquered, it will have a huge impact on tearing apart the hearts of the Yankees.
The deterrent effect. The reason why Alton Parker narrowly lost against Roosevelt in the last election was because he won in Illinois.
In the past, each election of three states, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York, had 100 electoral votes. These states were all owned by the Republican Party, which gave the Democratic Party a huge disadvantage.
"It depends on how much we can win in the Midwest!" Sheffield understood that after winning several key swing states, it would still depend on the results of the Midwestern states to ensure victory.
Now it's not just Sheffield himself who is paying attention, even Rockefeller Jr. and Morgan Jr. are also disturbed by the alternating leadership situation between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The competition in Minnesota, Oregon, Washington State, California, and the West Coast states will determine this time.
election results.
The telephone has once again become a tool relied on by many giants. They are eager to know the situation on the West Coast. The battle there will determine the occupant of the White House in the next four years. The Democratic Party of California declared victory! The Democratic Party of Oregon declared victory, the Republican Party of Washington State declared victory, and Arizona
State Democratic Party declares victory, New Mexico Democratic Party declares victory…
Word after word of victory announcements were sent by phone and telex to the tycoons who were keeping up with current events.
Alton Parker was declared the winner with 269 electoral votes and 6.98 million votes. Republican Taft claimed 230 electoral votes and 7.03 million votes.
The vote was lost.
