Chapter 193: Chaos
Time treats everyone equally, passing silently, and when discovered, it usually leaves only a few words of regret and sighs.
"Ahh
This year's winter break has been extraordinarily long for Evan, who spent almost a month in Sacramento before returning to Los Angeles on January 17.
This is Earl's request, and Evan can only cooperate. Who made January 17 his birthday?
In keeping with the Warren family's tradition, Earl threw a very formal and grand birthday party for Evan.
On the day of the banquet, it was full of guests and friends. The people who came to celebrate Evan's birthday were not only close relatives and friends with Earl Warren, but also many of Evan himself.
For example, the head of a company that does business with Evan's company in California;
For example, Evan's classmates and friends at the university, idlers like Rick and Orville, also ignored the start time of the school and arrived in Sacramento early.
As for Evan's own men, they are all here.
Evan didn't like this kind of big birthday party in his heart, but he knew that it didn't matter whether he liked it or not.
The so-called birthday party is not about the birthday, but about the people who attend the party.
At the dinner that day, Evan, as one of the protagonists, was so smiling that his face was almost stiff because of the reception of guests.
The other protagonist of the dinner, Earl Warren, took this opportunity to officially announce his decision to run in the general election in front of many guests.
This is an election year, and a lot of political activity will revolve around the theme of the election.
Earl Warren's intention to win the presidency did not come as a surprise. Almost on the same day that the news was reported, leading officials from both Republicans and Democrats in California expressed support for Earl Warren's decision.
Generally, the U.S. presidential election is divided into two phases, the first is the party primary, which usually starts in February and ends in June. The purpose of the primary election phase is to select candidates who will represent their party in the final general election. At this stage, each state selects a candidate to represent its own state, and then votes for the sole candidate at its party's national convention around June.
The second phase is a formal general election after the candidates are decided, and the election date is the day after the first Monday in November.
There are two ways in which the cantons determine candidates, one is a caucus meeting and the other is a direct pre-selection. The former requires only party representatives to decide, while the latter requires the participation of voters throughout the state.
At this time, the Republican Party of California adopted the method of caucuse, so it is no doubt that Earl, who has the support of the whole party, will become the presidential candidate of California.
As the time enters March, the quadrennial election drama officially opens.
On the Republican side, as many as 15 people have publicly announced their participation in the general election, and in addition to Earl Warren of California, Thomas Dewey of New York, Robert Taft of Ohio, and General Douglas MacArthur of Wisconsin are among the popular candidates. Since then, as the campaign has progressed, Harold Starson, a former governor of Minnesota, has emerged as the frontrunner of the Republican candidate by winning the primaries in four states.
"Haha, it's really lively!"
One morning in May, in the BlackerHouse common dining room, Rick, who was reading a newspaper while eating breakfast, suddenly smiled and said, "I'll count, one, two...... Twelve, there are a total of 12 people still hanging signs of candidates, I really don't know how many days it will take for the national convention to determine the final candidates?"
"I guess five days is not enough. ”
"Hey, Evan, what do you think?"
Evan, who was sitting across from Rick, bit the straw intently until the milk in the glass bottle bottomed out, and then relented, "I say, Rick, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to comment here? ”
"I know!" Rick said, putting away the newspaper and indifferently, "But what does it matter, isn't your father in there?"
"Besides, isn't what I'm saying the truth?"
Compared with the Republican Party, which looks like a pack of dogs grabbing food, under the leadership of Truman, the Democratic Party is much calmer. Although the chaos of the Democrats is no better than that of the Republicans, Rick just can't help but complain.
He always felt that something would go wrong with such a Republican Party.
Evan felt the same way, but Evan didn't want to say it.
Because of Truman's defeat in the midterm elections and his attitude on civil rights, the Democratic Party effectively split into two parts, and Henry Wallace led a part of the Democrats to form the New Progressive Party, which ran in the general election.
However, it was because of Wallace's departure and recent diplomatic achievements that Truman was able to unite the full strength of the current Democratic Party. Coupled with the smooth implementation of the Marshall Plan, the domestic economy began to improve, and Truman's approval rating began to recover.
From Evan's observations, the Democratic Party has begun to emerge from the shadow of defeat in the last midterm elections. On the other hand, the Republican Party at this time was still singing and dancing, and there was no sign of alarm.
At this point, Evan was not at all surprised that Truman would be re-elected.
"Since you can't see it, why don't you remind the senator (referring to Rick's father)?"
Looking at a depressed Rick, Evan suggested.
Rick said, "Do you think I haven't tried?"
Evan glanced at Rick in surprise.
Rick's face was full of helplessness: "But the old man doesn't think the Democratic Party has a chance to turn over...... It's almost like I'm cranky. ”
Evan nodded, and said in his heart, "My family Earl is also ......"
It's much better to have the same Evan mentality. Politics is too troublesome, with Earl on it, Evan feels that he can take advantage of his youth and tall man, and he can be more relaxed.
"Don't talk about that......" After finishing the rest of the bread, Evan wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going to the lab, see you later." ”
"Oh! Rick subconsciously replied, "By the way, I heard Orville say that you are going to participate in the graduation defense, is there such a thing?"
Evan cleaned up his plate and said, "There's this." ”
Rick sighed, looked at Evan with admiration, and said, "It's really yours, I'll take enough credits in two years." ”
"In this way, we are also classmates who graduated from the same class. ”
"That's right, Rick-san. Evan picked up his plate, said goodbye, and walked away.
After seeing Evan go, Rick picked up his fork and began to solve the breakfast that was about to go cold.
What should I do when I graduate?
Rick's eyes were confused.
