Chapter 385 The President’s Daughter

After reading this report, Rockefeller Jr. realized that he was right to feel that something was missing: the role of black people. Ever since black people were given the right to vote, both parties have always mentioned the issue of black people in every election, even if it was just perfunctory. Although most of the promises would basically not take effect, they were just casually mentioned before the election to fool the voters.

But there should be no such thing as a Democratic National Convention that did not mention black people at all. Now that he had read the newspapers and the response to the convention, Rockefeller Jr. realized that this was indeed the problem.

"Offending 5 percent of voters before the election even starts?" Rockefeller Jr. didn't know whether the Democrats were too confident or were risking everything and no longer concealing their inner thoughts.

The Chicago Daily Times seemed to be the beginning, spreading news of the Democratic National Convention in a negative way through fierce attacks and accusations.

Soon after, the war of public opinion had already begun. Various media outlets swarmed in, reporting from both the Democratic and anti-Democratic positions. The New York Daily News' front-page headline said, "Perhaps the Democrats know that they are destined to play a supporting role in this election. They already know that they cannot win, so they are using this method of early suicide to attract attention."

As for the New Orleans Morning Post, which is based in the South, it expressed its appreciation for the honesty and boldness of the Democratic candidate, and publicly called on the newspaper, "This is the candidate we need. He does not hide his thoughts and says what we want. Judge Parker is the candidate in our hearts."

With the support of the New Orleans Morning Post, Parker's prestige increased instantly, and his name spread to towns and villages in the southern states, and it seemed that he had already booked the votes in the southern states.

Because of the results of the Democratic National Convention, Alton Parker, who represented the conservative wing of the Democratic Party, won a landslide victory, and because he emphasized the rights of white people when publishing his campaign platform, Alton Parker was at the center of public opinion.

"In this election, our candidates should not mention anything but white people. We will not mention the economy, unity, the American century, or foreign policy. We will only talk about the issue of blacks and whites. There is only this one issue." Sheffield faced the mirror and posed like Jesus being crucified. The black suit was put on by Natalia's little hands, and it seemed that he retained a lot of Natalia's femininity.

At this time, Sheffield turned around and said to Yodel, the director of the US Olympic Committee, who was waiting, "Under normal circumstances, we can't win. If we can't win, why are we afraid of losing?"

"That makes sense when you think about it!" Yodel scratched his head and said honestly, "I wonder how the Republicans will react."

"The Democratic Party is at a disadvantage. At least William Bryan's faction won't cause trouble, which is good enough. The most worrying thing is that they think they are very strong, but then they capsize in a small ditch. If the Democratic Party hadn't been divided into the North and the South, Lincoln would not have won. If he won, the Democratic Party would have almost lost the entire North." Sheffield shrugged and looked at the bright sunshine outside. "Okay, let's not talk about this. The last project will be held tomorrow. Please help me send a telegram to Judge Parker to tell him about the canvassing route we have planned."

The campaign route planned by the slave owners was to go south from Chicago to the southern states, hold a rally in New Orleans, then go to Texas, go to the Great West, and finally return to the northeastern states. This schedule was actually quite tight, but that's how elections work.

At the St. Louis Olympics, Sheffield held the marathon on the last day. The Olympics ended after the marathon. Of course, the World Expo was still going on, but it was no longer his responsibility.

After the marathon event, Sheffield, as the president of the US Olympic Committee, showed his presence for the last time. He disqualified the gold medal winner who relied on cheating. Hitchhiking is not a problem, and taking stimulants is not a problem. If the two athletes were farmers like McHale, or had a lot of money, Sheffield would definitely let them go. Unfortunately, this athlete is a civilian, so I'm sorry.

In front of more than 5,000 spectators, Sheffield disqualified the gold medalist and said passionately, "Winning is winning, losing is losing, and numbers don't lie. Under the eyes of the whole world, we have always upheld fairness and justice and treated every competition seriously."

McHale's example is not very appropriate at this time. It is not a bad thing for the referee to manipulate the scoring of the game, but in this kind of timed competition, anyone with mathematical ability will know that there is a problem. If this athlete is let off, people will doubt it in the future and Sheffield will no longer be able to continue his job as the chairman of the US Olympic Committee.

"The treatment of the two domestic players who cheated will be announced in the next few days!" Sheffield walked to the loudspeaker, nodded slightly at a beautiful woman not far away, and invited her to come up and stand next to him. The audience in the stadium had a sense of déjà vu of a talented man and a beautiful woman.

"Welcome to the President's daughter, Ms. Alice Roosevelt! Ms. Alice is the representative of the new women of our country in the 20th century. This decent hat and dress will surely set off a trend. Thank you Ms. Alice for coming to our Olympic host city!" Sheffield gentlemanly took Alice Roosevelt's hand and kissed it gently, saying, "If I were not married, I might find a way to marry you."

"Mr. William is such a joker!" Alice Roosevelt smiled reservedly, but she didn't feel disgusted. Seeing this scene, the more than 5,000 spectators in the stadium burst into laughter, and frivolous whistles came one after another.

"Dear audience, athletes from all countries, and directors of the IOC, thank you all for your contribution to the Olympics during this period. This Olympics will allow everyone to understand the customs and culture of the New World and the enthusiasm of the citizens of the United States. It will also allow our citizens to better understand the world. After a long journey, this Olympics has come to a successful conclusion. We will see you at the grand event four years later. Thank you!"

Sheffield raised his head slightly, showing his confidence. Even though Roosevelt's daughter was right next to him, it did not stop the slave owner from showing off. Finally, he mentioned that the St. Louis World's Fair had not ended yet, and if he was willing, he could spend some time to get to know this beautiful city.

According to the previous plan, Sheffield would immediately join the Democratic Party and participate in the general election. In fact, there is no need to be so anxious. The reason for not being so anxious is because of Alice Roosevelt's daughter.

"Send a few people to escort Natalia back to New Orleans!" Sheffield called Jesla over and whispered, "I need to make some plans in the near future. After Judge Parker arrives in New Orleans, I will go back at the same time."

Jesla nodded and went to work immediately. Sheffield fiddled with his fingers and said to himself, "Who said I can't beat Roosevelt!"

Alice Roosevelt was different from ordinary women. She had something that other women didn't have. She was somewhat similar to Edith Rockefeller, but also different. After much thought, Sheffield found a similar person, his aunt Isabella Sheffield, who had a somewhat neutral temperament.

Alice Roosevelt drove to St. Louis, which was considered bold for a woman of that era. But Sheffield was not impressed by all this. The most important thing was that Alice Roosevelt broke through the camera's magic mirror in the group photo at the closing ceremony of the Olympics.

Slave owners know too well what kind of virtue the cameras of this era are. Those who can make the cameras useless are all extremely beautiful women. Edith Rockefeller could not break through the destruction of the camera. She looks good, but she becomes much uglier when the camera is taken.

Why in the early days of Hollywood, even comedians had to look for handsome guys? It was because they knew that appearance could make up for the shortcomings of photography.

Before Alice Roosevelt left St. Louis, Sheffield had already come to her door. Alice Roosevelt was puzzled. When she came out of the room, she saw the visitor circling around her car and asked, "Mr. William, are you very interested in my car?"

"Cadillac! It's our own company's product, so of course I'm curious! It's not common for a woman to drive one." Sheffield looked up and saw Alice Roosevelt in a gorgeous dress. A look of amazement flashed in his eyes and he said, "It can be seen that Miss Alice is a car lover. I wonder how good she is at driving."

"Beyond your expectation!" Alice Roosevelt's face was full of confidence when she heard Sheffield mention this. She nodded slightly, revealing her fair neck. "Does Mr. William want to give it a try?"

"My life is very valuable!" Sheffield said calmly with a flash of contempt in his eyes, "I have a strong sense of security, and I would definitely not drive a car that is driven by a road killer."

The word "road killer" made Alice Roosevelt feel angry. Usually, because her father was the president, many people would be cautious because of this relationship, and she felt disgusted by such people. But now, she hoped that the person in front of her could remember that she was the president's daughter and reorganize the words.

"This kind of talk is very rare!" Alice Roosevelt said lightly, "Mr. William seems very timid."

"Even if your father is here, he has no right to say that I'm a coward." Sheffield took out his pocket watch, pulled it, snapped it, and said calmly, "You can beat me with my product? Aren't you kidding me?"

"Then give it a try!" Alice Roosevelt walked down the steps in her long skirt, pushed Sheffield directly into the car, and slammed the door shut! After briefly formulating the rules, the first official competition in St. Louis after the Olympics began.
