Chapter Five Hundred and Three Swords Pointing at DuPont
"I see you're happy!" Edith Rockefeller rarely saw her lose her temper during the trip to Sheffield. In her eyes, the slave owner was almost a model who didn't rush anything and could make profits no matter what.
She had never seen this kind of fighting scene before, but the speed of the punch was really powerful, just like a pile driver. Thinking of this, Edith Rockefeller felt a little hot.
"Do you think this is just a normal political party rotation? You have no idea what this means. I have been waiting for this day for how long. Looking back now, I almost burst into tears." Sheffield held back a moment.
The tone and the sound of the urn vented the emotions.
It has been twelve years, and he has grown from a teenager to a middle-aged man. How many twelve years can he wait in his life? Every national election is a failure. Doesn’t he want to win? He shows no signs of failure every time.
It's strange, it's just pretending.
Just like a gambler, if instead of winning and losing, if you always lose every time you gamble, would there be a gambler?
"This is a change, and you don't know the significance of it at all." Sheffield even felt a little hypoxic. He directly put his hand on Edith Rockefeller's shoulder and said with a smile on his face, "The Democratic Party keeps losing.
If this continues, sooner or later there will be cracks in our relationship with the Democratic Party. Whether it is the Democrats or the farmers in the South, they all hope to use a victory to prove their long-term persistence. The results of this election have proved that this persistence is useful.
."
Slave owners believe that this election is of great significance, and can even be said to be a landmark event. Although it is still far away from the time of who is more white and left than who, but one compromise after another will sooner or later lose the core of the Democrats.
There is no doubt that after this election, racial issues will be reversed, and there may even be a certain degree of social instability. However, slave owners believe that after the election, the future will only be better.
Soon, the phone in the villa rang, and Sheffield received calls from Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. to express congratulations. On the issue of Roosevelt's successor, the three people had the same position. However, the level of contribution differed.
It can be said that the two men's attack on the Republican Party was a complete failure. The boss tried his best and the loss is not due to his performance.
The real blow to Roosevelt was the Democrats who had strong support from Sheffield. The two of them had no intention of letting the slaves bleed and shed tears, but appropriate congratulations and friendly expressions were all part of their duties.
For a company that has grown to this scale, it is no longer possible to avoid politics. Calling to congratulate at this time is also an expression of multiple goodwill, allowing the relationship between companies to continue to be friendly.
Fortunately, Sheffield was not too carried away yet. He was alert enough to the tricks of the two masters of tricks and ended the conversation happily. Then he said to Edith Rockefeller, "In the eyes of your brother, I have never been so valued.
.It’s so surprising.”
"You deserve it." Edith Rockefeller praised her man without hesitation. Since it is a national election, it is definitely not just a matter of the president. The elections in various states are also taking place at the same time, and now the election results have come out.
, among the forty-eight states in the mainland, thirty-three are under the control of the Democratic camp.
This was the biggest victory for the Democratic Party since 1874, when the Democratic camp regrouped and gained control of thirty-five more states in that year's election. If not for the presence of federal troops in the South, the situation would have been under martial law.
Among them, the election two years later was a victory for the Democratic Party.
After this election, it can be said that the Democratic Party has once again achieved an overwhelming advantage after thirty-four years. The significance can be said to be very important. For the president, the donor may not have a decisive influence, but for the states
In terms of influence, this influence will reach a higher level. With this victory, the benefits that Sheffield can obtain are unimaginable.
Sheffield wanted to congratulate another person, such as Alton Parker, who would take office next year, and asked Edith Rockefeller to find a more elegant place as a place for slave owners to talk dirty things.
While the Democratic camp was celebrating, there was a different scene in the White House. After learning that Roosevelt had lost the election, he was silent for a long time. He never dreamed that the candidate he supported would fail. He even thought that the Democratic Party
Did he cheat there? Otherwise, how could he have won?
"It would be great if I had chosen it myself!" Roosevelt murmured to himself, even regretting that he did not choose to be re-elected for a third time. He believed that if he had chosen it himself, the result would have been different. He was among the people.
He is so prestigious and loved by many voters. This feeling is absolutely unmistakable.
Not long after, Taft, who had failed in the election, came to the White House. After seeing Roosevelt, he looked embarrassed. He knew that this time he had failed his old friend's high expectations, and the Republican Party's consecutive streak of winning the White House would be interrupted. This was not only a
It failed, and it was an unprecedented failure in the past thirty years. Among the forty-eight states in the country, two-thirds of the states were in the hands of the Democrats. This result was not only Taft himself, but even Roosevelt as president could not achieve the same result.
Internal explanation within the Republican Party.
From the very beginning, the Republican camp criticized the candidate proposed by Roosevelt and tried to attack him. However, he had Roosevelt's support and finally passed the test without any danger.
Taft also knew which conservatives were speaking for whom. It would be easy to say if he won the election, but now that he has lost so ugly, even Roosevelt would not be able to explain the result.
"Theodore, I really can't describe how I feel right now." Seeing Roosevelt not speaking, Taft hesitated to speak.
"Oh, my friend, this is certainly depressing news, but the mistake mainly lies with me. I underestimated the Democrats, and at the same time, I underestimated some citizens who obey populism. Although the means of inciting populism and hatred are
He is not clever, but many people like him. Not all citizens in our country have accurate judgment." Roosevelt looked at his friend's apologetic look, sighed and comforted, "They are wrong, I will prove it in the future.
at this point."
Roosevelt, who thought he had figured out the reason for his defeat, had already decided from now on that he would come out for the election in person next time and take back all today's failures with a victor's attitude.
"We must focus on analyzing the reasons for the failure of the Republican Party. For example, Roosevelt's insistence on going his own way caused discord within the Republican Party, bad relations with big companies, and a lack of many supporters." Sheffield was wearing a bow tie, and his mouth was like a machine gun, making false claims.
The news must link this unprecedented failure of the Republican Party to Roosevelt himself.
Under normal circumstances, after the final election, both parties should stop fighting and keep fighting. The vicious dogs fighting for food before the election will act as if they have never happened. However, Sheffield does not think so. The only thing that matters is when everything has settled.
It was an excellent opportunity. Corresponding to history, he knew that Roosevelt would be elected four years later.
Although in the rolling tide of history, the slave owner's first attempt to jump off the train has been successful, this kind of thing is inevitable now, just in case it really comes back four years later.
Even if it is just in case, we must take precautions in advance, and retreat as cleanly as possible. If this continues, people will still respect it. If it really gets to the point where the insurance is not guaranteed at the end of the year, everyone will look ugly in the end.
With Roosevelt's own firm thinking, some newspapers' overt and covert connotations about him will not have any effect. Sheffield is not targeting Roosevelt. He does not believe that everyone in the Republican Party is Roosevelt? As long as some people are dissatisfied, the Republican Party will be weakened.
It's a good thing for yourself.
Later, the Democratic Party base really announced the victory of this national election. Alton Parker gave a very rigorous victory speech that sounded like a legal effect, telling the country that this time he had won a great victory.
win.
In the entire United States, half of the people were crestfallen and half were ecstatic. In terms of the total votes, the two sides in this election were evenly matched. Now Sheffield is sincerely grateful for the setting up of this electoral system. If the total votes are really used.
, even President Cleveland was unable to take office after the Civil War.
"It's a pity that President Cleveland didn't see this day." After arriving at the Opera House and meeting Alton Parker, Sheffield thought of the former president who led the Democratic Party to break the high pressure of the Republican Party. President Cleveland passed away in June and did not see the Democratic Party making a comeback.
This day.
The opera performed in the opera house originated from Shakespeare's The Revenge of the Prince. The king was killed, the conspirators stole the throne. The queen remarried, the courtiers succumbed to the influence, etc. The world seemed to be at the end. So the prince shouted out the roar of the entire era.
, Hamlet finally ends in tragedy, which greatly increases the slave owner's sense of involvement.
For at least some groups in the United States, the tragedy of this election has just begun. Sheffield deeply sympathizes with this, but he will do it again if he has to make another choice, and now that the result is proven to be victory, he will do it even more
No turning back.
This opera was slightly inappropriate for Alton Parker, but it was very appropriate for the loser camp. Therefore, although the incoming president was not interested, Sheffield was still chatting and took the time to watch it a few times.
The actress for this queen is pretty good, especially her trembling chest. Even if she can't catch up with Edith Rockefeller, she's not too far behind.
"Congratulations to Alton Parker for having a golden opportunity to reverse the country's mistakes. The voters are still waiting for his promise to be fulfilled." Sheffield was talking about the voters, but he was actually talking about himself.
Alton Parker could naturally hear the implication and said calmly, "Do you have any suggestions?"
"Antitrust laws are fair laws, and Roosevelt used this law to gather a large number of supporters. There is a company in our country that has a very bad reputation." Sheffield frowned and sighed, "The president should seek justice, among other things.
Chapter completed!
