Chapter 384: Elections with wrong start

Alton Parker nodded. Although he did n’t know what Sheffield was for, he also knew that United had extensive influence in the South, so he listened to each other ’s opinions.
It is a pity that what Sheffield wanted to say was not opinion, but decision. Instead of directly entering the topic, he said directly, "Mr. Alton Parker, how do you think this election will be a winner in the current situation? Please tell the truth!"
"The Republican Party must have been Roosevelt as a candidate. As a judge, I tell the truth, that is, the win rate is very, very slim, and even many Democrats are pessimistic. This time I was nominated, and it was twice elected by Mr. William Bryan. The result of the defeat! "Alton Parker hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be thinking about it. In the end, he chose to be honest.
It is true that Roosevelt ’s advantages are too great, not only the aura of war heroes of the Spanish-American War, the hostility to the trust companies, but also in line with the aspirations of the powerful citizens of the United States. This must mention the second Venezuelan crisis, which was For the second time since the last time Britain accepted mediation, it also contacted Germany for the second time.
In recent years, Latin American countries are in serious economic difficulties, Venezuela is one of them. Venezuela owes millions of dollars to Britain and Germany, but its leaders refused to repay the money. So, Britain and Germany decided to use force to collect debts. The warships of the two countries began to block Venezuela's ports. When they shelled the coastal areas of Venezuela, Roosevelt began to intervene. He urged Britain and Germany to refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice in The Hague for adjudication. Britain and Germany agreed, and ended the blockade of Venezuela.
These are all factors that are very popular among voters. In addition, the economic prosperity continues, and there is no chance of winning the Democratic Party. Not only does Alton Parker know this, even Sheffield is also clear about it.
"Yes, normally the Democrats can't win. If there is any advantage, it may be that some members of the Republican Party and the enterprise have good relations. It will be a favorable factor. I am not counting on the Republican Party to split, but the advantage on the enterprise. Who gives President Roosevelt It ’s not very friendly to big companies. Now I can conclude one thing!
Sheffield said a little bit of thought.
From the perspective of election funds, the Democratic Party is the first time in these elections that it has financial advantages because The Republican Party does not have the support of large companies. The bad news is that our voters hate large companies. "
In the past two presidential elections, the Democratic Party elected progressive Congressman William Bryan. William Bryan is not as popular as Roosevelt among the big companies.
Alton Parker is a conservative judge and has more appetite for voters in the South than William Bryan. After talking about the current advantages and disadvantages, Sheffield finally got to the point, "We can't win in normal elections, and only a radical plan can be chosen."
Now that the Democratic Party knows that the odds of winning the election are slim, then Sheffield is welcome, and his opponents are so powerful, they must show the lower limit to win voters, and maybe there will be miracles. There is also a possibility in the minds of slave owners that they may create miracles.
After a preventive shot against Alton Parker's fiasco, Sheffield said, "I only have one sentence, white people are supreme! There is no other way."
"White supremacy?" Alton Parker was shocked. During the election process, candidates from both parties would avoid talking about racial issues. After all, this is about votes. But when he thought about it, he understood Sheffield's idea. The problem of black votes does not exist in the southern states. Black people actually no longer have the right to vote.
So Sheffield, Texas, with its base camp does n’t care, how to win the Democratic Party! but? Mentioning this issue in the general election will have a huge negative impact.
"Dear Mr. Parker, if you can do this, you will get the long-term friendship of the Dixie people." Sheffield threw the olive branch with practical action, "You will get the love of me and a large group of Dixie businessmen. , Your child will step into a truly high society, he can be a successful person now. What business he wants to do, we can help him, only you nod now, all this is not a problem. "
"Although I am only representing Southern Company, Rockefeller and Morgan also dislike the Roosevelt. Although our interests are not exactly the same, I believe they are also willing to appear as a challenger. As for how to challenge, this is a small problem."
The conditions for Sheffield ’s opening are not high. Pulling the descendants of Alton Parker directly into the upper class, this promise is not something that ordinary people can do. As long as Alton Parker agrees to this matter, all requirements can be mentioned. The election won very high, even if it lost, election public opinion may scare away many black people in the south, which is also a good thing.
Alton Parker was originally a representative of the Democratic conservatives and nodded heavily, "I agree with this matter."
"On behalf of Sheffield United, McHale Mining, Gale International Trading, and Yoder Textiles, 16 companies throughout the southern states, I provide one million US dollars in election funding. As for the follow-up costs, there will be no less, I believe that many large enterprises in the North will also help you, but there is a small problem that can be foreseen! "Sheffield first predicted the beginning of the election." Because the white supremacy is too direct, the public opinion will definitely be against you. Hope Mr. Alton Parker, do n’t care about this. "
Not only will pro-Republican newspapers appear in public opinion attacks, but many Sheffield newspapers will also be included. Slave owners have been buying newspapers for public opinion. It can be said that newspapers are merged every month. But these newspapers should not expose the tendency, but hide them.
Alton Parker has already stated that he can hold on. He was originally a firefighter from the Democratic Party. The candidate who replaced William Bryan, knowing the bad election situation, figured this out but let go of his heart. He has already accepted the poison of the white supremacy in the normal election.
Through talks with the Democratic candidates, Sheffield has established the position of both parties. Even if he is beaten with a head, he will not take a step back. He wants to understand the real thoughts of the citizens, without any sacrifice. Is it better if it wins?
After Alton Parker left, the little Rockefeller, who disappeared for a few days, returned to St. Louis again, and he looked tired and complained, "I wasn't willing to come back again. Your business is done? Alton Parker What do you say! "
"I have already communicated with him, and provided fifteen other companies to provide one million election funds." Sheffield said indifferently.
"This time I'm serious, I haven't seen you so willing!" Little Rockefeller rubbed his face and seemed to want to get rid of his fatigue. "Roosevelt is so annoying. I also donated 100,000 as Alton Parker's Election funds. "
"Yo, it's really touching to support the Democratic Party. The money you swindled from the federal government was changed and given to the Democratic candidate. Roosevelt knew it, I don't know what it was." Sheffield smiled with a very happy smile on his face. With.
Why did Rockefeller Jr. go these days? In fact, it is very simple. The Rockefeller Institute of Medicine applied to the federal government for research funding on industrial city pollution. Take advantage of Chicago ’s water pollution problem and use the country ’s money to expand its business. Because the water pollution problem in Chicago was so big, the federal government agreed to grant it.
In Sheffield's eyes, Rockefeller Jr. is undoubtedly eating buns, and in a more serious way, making money is difficult. Then, in the name of Chicago ’s pollution, the state wants money and develops its own medical industry order.
Of course, this is normal business behavior. It is not too early to make any profit. Big money must be made, and small money cannot be left behind. A 500 of the world's self-proclaimed high-tech giants in the republic, also used the epidemic to apply for 5 billion loans. Although it had donated 300,000 yuan before, it was marketed for several days. Although every mobile phone conference, in addition to blowing Qualcomm chips is blowing Samsung screens, it is that it has no technology to blow itself, and it despise its self-developed competitors.
Even the Comprador can do this, not to mention that the Rockefeller family is the real overlord of the oil industry. Of course, Rockefeller Jr. can do this as well, and it is more straightforward.
The government itself is the enemy of the merchants, who can give the federal government some blood, and Sheffield raised his hands in favor.
"I still have to wait for the closing of the Olympics and the World Expo. I don't know if the Democratic Party is over. Can John help me pay attention?" Gale and McHale went to Puerto Rico. Edith Rockefeller was her own woman. A free labor force, Sheffield stretched her hands to her shoulders, and asked with a family tone.
"Okay!" Little Rockefeller nodded. Sheffield couldn't get away with something. He had to worry about the election.
The Democratic National Convention was also held in Chicago this time. At the conference, Alton Parker, on behalf of the Democratic conservatives, officially won the nomination of the presidential candidate under the eyes of Rockefeller Jr.
After being formally nominated, Alton Parker gave a cold-faced proposal for this campaign, including guaranteeing the welfare of all white people, and paying attention to the economic development of the Midwest to make the United States more united.
"The United States needs the contributions of all citizens, especially those of the white community." Alton Parker called out to the Democrats present, applause echoed through the venue, and the applause came one after another.
Rockefeller Jr. frowned and glanced at the Democrats who were caught in jubilation. It felt as if this emotion was wrong, and it seemed that he could not tell what was wrong.
Soon Rockefeller Jr. knew what was wrong. The Chicago Daily Times used very fierce rhetoric to attack the Democratic Party ’s remarks, saying it was white supremacy. The United States needs everyone ’s efforts.
