Subtitle of this chapter: Problems with posture

"250 votes?! Do you think it's possible? ”

"This ...... There seems to be a slight possibility. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoDon't forget the 1912 election! ”

In fact, the 250-vote electoral margin was not unprecedented in any pre-1920 presidential election.

For example, Washington won all the electoral votes without a rival and became the first president of the United States.

In 1920, "Wilson, whom everyone hated," won 435 of the 531 electoral votes in the 1912 presidential election, compared to 88 for his opponent, Roosevelt Sr. of the Progressive Party.

And the Democratic Party was able to win a big victory that time, but it was also because of a split in the rival Republican Party. In fact, the split of the Republican Party around 1910 really had something to do with the anarchists.

William, the 25th Commander-in-Chief of the United States in 1901 and also a Republican? William Mckinley was shot and wounded by anarchist activists and died as a result. He became the third president in U.S. history to be assassinated, and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest president in U.S. history at the age of 42.

Roosevelt Sr. did a good job in two terms, so many in the party supported him to break with the practice since Washington and become president of the United States for the third time. But not only did he decline the nomination, but instead supported his good friend William Howard Taft as the 27th president.

However, Taft, a politician who was more like a justice, lacked a bit of charisma and decisiveness, and even the professional politicians in the party could not handle it with the dignity of the president, and he plunged the Republican Party into great chaos. (Author's note: Taft actually became a Supreme Court justice.) ）

At this time, the elder Roosevelt felt that he should come out and clean up the mess, so he not only criticized his old friend many times in public, but also organized a third party, the Progressive Party, to participate in the 1912 presidential election. In this way, the split in the Republican Party allowed the Democrats to take advantage of the situation.

"No, no, no, it was different now."

"What's the difference, last time it was a split in the Republican Party, and this time it's a split in the Democratic Party, isn't it just the opposite?"

"You're right about the split of the Democratic Party, but there's one thing you forget. Let me ask you, do you know who Mr. Warren-Gamaliel-Harding is? ”

"Warren Harding? Of course, I know that this is not the Republican candidate. ”

"I mean, do you know who he used to be?"

"This ...... I remembered that the newspapers said that he was the current U.S. senator, who had previously failed to run for governor of Ohio, and before that...... I can't remember. ”

"Yes, if Harding doesn't come out to run for president, who knows which onion it is, and there are many people in the Republican Party who have not heard his name. This time, the Republican Party really had no one to push, so they moved him out. ”

"Well, compared to Mr. Hughes, the Republican candidate of 1916, and former President Roosevelt, he seems to be ...... in terms of fame Well, it's far from that. ”

"And didn't you read the newspaper description? Harding's six years in the Senate were unremarkable and unremarkable, neither pushing any important bills nor accomplishing anything to be looked back on, and no one knows what he did. He's a wreck! ”

"That's right. And he's engaged in some kind of 'porch campaign', and has never left his hometown of Marion, Ohio. Few people in the whole of America have ever seen this guy? ”

"His opponent, Mr. James Cox, is different, and let's not forget that he defeated Mr. Harding to become the governor of Ohio. Let's not talk about winning this time, can you lose 250 votes so much? ”

"So you mean ......"

"I mean, that Chinese is making stupidity!"

"Well, when you say that, he really looks like a nerd."

Well, that's the right reaction. It's to make you think of me as a fool, or a big fool!

The fool in the eyes of everyone was silent on his face...... Well, in fact, under the nerd form, his expression at the moment is stunned, and he looks unreasonable.

And at this time, the Chinese nerd standing on the high place saw several beautiful ...... Or the not beautiful Qianying also walked here, thinking that she heard the news and came to see the lively female students of the liberal arts college. One of them, of course, was Miss Helen Brown.

Hey, it's an eventful time now, so I won't attract bees and butterflies.

Hey, but even if you don't attract bees and butterflies, this force me to pretend.

Before everyone could react, he said to the stunned Mr. McCall very bluntly: "As for the bet......

"I can't agree to your condition that I don't continue to associate with Miss Helen Brown!"

LOOKING LIKE HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND "WHAT IS THE LOVE IN THE WORLD", MASTER YUAN SAID LOUDLY: "FIRST OF ALL, AS AN HONEST CHINESE GENTLEMAN, I DARE TO SWEAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY THOUGHTS OF MISS HELEN BROWN THAT GO BEYOND FRIENDSHIP. ”

"Secondly, as a modern person who believes in liberalism, I would like to say that Mr. McCall, your way of pursuing love is too reactionary! It's too backward!! It's so male-chauvinism!! ”

I really miss Qiong Yaoti so much!

"Finally, as a friend of yours, what I want to say is......" Yuan Yanqian suddenly slowed down her tone and said softly: "John, if you really love her, you won't make such a bet......"

"Because I love her, I let go. Do-you-understand？！ ”

Chinese only needs one word "understand", and English also has to come with a Do-you-understand.

When Miss Helen Brown and her classmates came over, they heard and understood Master Yuan's words. There was something wrong with the look on the faces of these young intellectual women.

You know, "Because you love her, you let go." "This kind of thing is too lethal to a young woman in literature and art, and a young woman who has never drunk chicken soup for the soul.

Of course, our Master Yuan has no heart or time to flirt with her sister now. He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and said proudly, "So, my bet is also five thousand dollars!" ”

There was silence in the room, and even John fell into a stupor......

"Pickup pickup."

"Master Ball, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you......"

"Host, this system is not talking about this, but about your posture ......"

"Pose?! My posture is very knowledgeable, I know the Big Bang on the top, I know the Cambrian explosion on the bottom, even the forty-eight hands of Edo know it, and isn't there still a searcher like you? ”

"No, no, no, no, this system is about your current P-O-S-E!"

MY POSE?! With his right hand spread out his five fingers, his left hand was naturally behind his back, standing majestically on the high part of the university campus......

Ouch, why is this POSE so familiar?

"Master Ball, I have to say, this time you reminded you right, I was negligent!"

Yuan Yanqian herself felt that her current POSE was very discordant, so she immediately put away the other four fingers of her right hand, leaving only the index finger, and changed from "Taizu Fan of the Red Dynasty" to "Uncle Sam Fan" and pointed at it with a loud cry: "Mr. John McCall, I-want-your-answer......" (Note 1)

"Do you bet?!"
