On August 10, the British delegation left New York for Washington, D.C.

On the same day, the Republican ****** convened in Chicago, and the main purpose of the meeting was to select the candidate who would represent the Republican Party in the presidential election.

There are four candidates: Warren Harding, Hoover, General Leonard Chowd, and Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler.

As it approached midnight, several rounds of voting had been held, and General Leonard Caud and Nicholas Murray Butler had withdrawn from the race, leaving only Warren Harding and Hoover as candidates, and in the last ballot, Harvard had a significant lead over Warren Harding, and if the results of the vote were followed, then Hoover would represent the Republican Party in the presidential election.

Although the meeting was attended by a large number of people, the 18 members of the Republican election committee played a decisive role.

Eight of the 18 supported Warren Harding and eight of Hoover, while the other two abstained from voting because their supporters were disqualified, and the 18 election committee members held an impromptu meeting in a conference room on the third floor of the Republican headquarters to discuss the final candidates.

"There is no doubt that only Herbert is eligible to run for the Republican Party, Warren was originally eligible, but after the scandal broke out, Warren has been disqualified, and if Warren is running for the Republican Party, then the Republican Party will become a joke." Charles Curtis, a lawyer from Washington, was a staunch supporter of Hoover, and in another time and space, he ran for president as Hoover's deputy in 1927 and later served as vice president of the United States.

"Warren does have a problem, but that's a mistake that all men can make, on the contrary, Herbert's problem is more serious, he was involved in the slave trade during his time in the Far East, and Herbert has a close relationship with southern Africa, if Herbert is president, then I doubt that Herbert can do a good job of defending American interests." Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge and Harding are close friends, and if the Republicans decide to let Harding run on behalf of the Republicans, then Calvin Coolidge will be Harding's running mate.

"Gentlemen, let's face it, the Democrats have decided to run for James Cox, and his deputy is Deputy Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, and the question we have to consider now is, Warren, or Herbert, who has what it takes to defeat James Cox." Wilks, the manager of the Boston Stock Exchange from Morgan & Co., proceeded from reality, and after Harding's election in another space, Wilks became the chief of the U.S. Army.

Isn't it magical, the exchange manager as the chief of the army?

What do you think?

"James Cox is easy to do, Roosevelt is a great character, he's done well in the Admiralty, and we're going to take it seriously." Mellon, the owner of Alcoa Trust and a financial oligarchy, is cautious, and this is the children's rhyme: "Mellon blows the whistle, and Hoover rings the bell." Wall Street signals that America is rushing to hell! "That Mellon, the future U.S. Treasury Secretary.

The Roosevelt that Mellon is talking about is the greatest Franklin Roosevelt in American history.

Franklin Roosevelt's uncle was Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, and unlike Franklin Roosevelt, who joined the Democratic Party, Theodore Roosevelt was a staunch Republican, and later Franklin Roosevelt began to get involved in politics as a Democrat, and when he told Theodore Roosevelt about this decision, Theodore Roosevelt angrily scolded: "You despicable little bunny! You traitor......"

Franklin D. Roosevelt is now a Democrat and has performed well as Deputy Secretary of the Navy, and Franklin D. Roosevelt has contributed greatly to the shipbuilding program of the United States after World War.

"Roosevelt's influence was in the military, and Herbert's influence was deep in Europe, and in the Relief and Rehabilitation Committee, Herbert was just as good." Charles Curtis was a staunch supporter of Hoover, and in terms of pure influence, Hoover was no less than Roosevelt.

Roosevelt's current influence mainly comes from his uncle, who was president, and he is not the Roosevelt who served four consecutive presidents.

"The greater the impact, the worse the impact of a scandal." Calvin Coolidge clung to Hoover's stain, and the slave trade was indeed more serious than the peachy news, relatively speaking.

"That's better than mediocrity, see what Boyce Penrose said about Warren: don't let Warren leave his hometown, if he goes around campaigning, there will be people asking him questions, and Warren is the kind of wretch who wants to answer them-" Charles Curtis is welcome, Boyce Penrose is a senator from Pennsylvania, and his assessment of Harding is still very pertinent.

"Mediocrity of ability will not lead the United States down the wrong path at least, we have abolished slavery, we cannot let a slave trader be president—" Calvin Coolidge said a bunch of people, when the United States first opened, several presidents were slave traders.

"There is no tangible evidence for what you are talking about in the slave trade, Herbert has already explained on the radio in New York, don't be insensitive, you have to live first, and then you can have dignity." Charles Curtis retorted, and there is a follow-up to Harding's scandal: "- South Britton's father has filed a lawsuit against Warren in New York District Court, Warren and South Britton have a daughter, and Warren and Florence have not divorced, this lawsuit may be protracted, if the court time coincides with the presidential election, gentlemen, then we will have fun." ”

South Britton is the daughter of a friend of Harding's, and although in Harding's words, he and South Britten are attracted to each other, but South Britten's father clearly doesn't think so.

In fact, South Britten's lawsuit against Harding is mostly fruitless.

However, the lawsuit against Harding was filed at this critical time, and the purpose of South Britton's father was obviously not compensation.

"How did this happen?" Weeks shook his head repeatedly, if Harding could not resolve this matter as soon as possible, then Harding would definitely lose his qualification to run for the Republican Party.

"Regardless of the outcome, we need to solve this problem as soon as possible." Mellon's face was expressionless, in fact, it doesn't matter who runs for the Republican Party, it doesn't matter to Mellon, he has booked the position of US Treasury Secretary, no matter who is elected Harding or Hoover, it will not change the result.

"Gentlemen—" Former Supreme Court Justice Hughes knocked on the table, having unfortunately lost the last presidential election in which Hughes ran against Woodrow Wilson on behalf of the Republican Party: "—We might as well call Herbert and Warren over and ask what they think." ”

Hughes has a close relationship with Mobil Oil, and the last time he ran for the Republican Party, he had the support of Mobil Oil.

Like Mellon, who is elected does not have much of an impact on Hughes, as long as the Republicans win the election, then Hughes will definitely enter the cabinet.

Hughes was born in 1862 and is now approaching 60 years old, and his energy is incomparable to that of a young man.

It's midnight, and Hughes is so sleepy that he can't hold on.

"Agreed—" Mellon agreed with Hughes's suggestion.

"Seconded—" Charles Curtis was also sleepy.

Calvin Coolidge silently raised his hand without speaking.

Then Warren Harding was called in.

"Good evening, gentlemen—" Harding was radiant and radiant, and from the sheer appearance of it, Harding was indeed very good, no wonder there was a lot of romance.

"Warren, on behalf of the election committee, I ask you a question: Have you done anything in the past or present that could embarrass the Republican Party?" Hughes deserves to be a justice, and the question goes straight to the soul.

Warren Harding probably didn't expect Hughes to be so direct, and directly denied it: "No, never-"

"Ha-" Charles Curtis laughed directly, you have been sued by your daughter's grandfather, and you deny it so resolutely, it is really a wreck.

There were also people in the conference room who laughed, and there were people with ugly faces, Mellon shook his head speechlessly, he couldn't think before he spoke?

"Uh, I need time to think about it." That's when Warren Harding realized he was acting too urgently.

"Okay, you have ten minutes." Hughes agreed, and then asked Warren to leave, and Hoover walked into the room next.

Hughes is still the same problem.

Hoover didn't rush to deny it, he took a deep breath, thought calmly, and then slowly spoke: "Who didn't make mistakes when they were young?" I was 22 years old when I came to the Far East, I had just graduated from Stanford University, my parents died when I was nine years old, and my uncle raised me as an adult, and in the year I graduated from college, my uncle was seriously ill, and I needed money to treat my uncle, and I needed money to raise my brothers and sisters, who were my uncle's children and my family, and I knew I had made mistakes, but I can assure you that I had never done anything that harmed the United States, harmed the Republican Party, and what happened later you all know, I did everything I could to help Americans in Europe, I'm serving the Republican Party wholeheartedly, and I'm trying my best to make up for the mistakes I've made—"

The sincerity of Hoover's remarks was touching, and the faces of the committee members, who were originally dissatisfied with Hoover, also became much more relaxed.

Yes, who hasn't made a mistake when he was young, the key is to know that the mistake must be corrected, and the prodigal son will not change it.

Ten minutes later, Warren Harding couldn't get into the room, he was just unwell and was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

According to Warren Harding's servants, Warren Harding had just eaten dinner brought by Mrs. Harding, and then suddenly fell ill.

Warren Harding's illness came quickly and violently, and shortly after being taken to the hospital, the hospital announced that Warren Harding had died.

The cause of death is unknown.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like Mrs. Warren is cleaning the portal-
