What are Roosevelt and Taft's hair?

Because of william howard taft, * * and the split of the party.

This is an exciting day for theodore roosevelt. Today is the day when the former president returns to his motherland after a long trip in Africa and Europe. Thousands of people gathered in new york City to welcome him back. There are speeches, bands and parades in the welcome team. This week, we tell about Teddy Roosevelt's trip, and we also tell you how some political problems hurt his good friend william howard taft.

Theodore Roosevelt started his long journey three weeks after the end of his presidency, and finally successfully completed his trip. On the whole, his trip was very successful and gained a lot. In Africa, he mainly hunts. He killed many lions, elephants and other wild animals. He took all his prey back to China and gave it to the Smithsonian Museum. After hunting in Africa, he took his wife Edith to Europe.

Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt visited Italy and visited the king and queen of Italy. They visited Vienna again, where they met with the leaders of Austria and Hungary. In Germany, they met with William II, and William II invited the former American president to watch the grand military parade in Germany. William II said to Roosevelt, "You are the first person to review the German army with the German emperor as a civilian." The two men took a photo of shaking hands. Behind this photo, William II wrote: "When we hold hands together, we also hold the world." Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt met the kings and queens of Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands. They also met with the Crown Princes of Sweden and Denmark. In England, Roosevelt, as the official representative of the United States, attended the funeral of Edward VII in England.

Theodore roosevelt has also made many speeches at Oxford University, Paris University and other universities. However, all his activities did not affect his reading of newspapers and letters from China. These news from domestic newspapers and letters troubled him. Roosevelt once led the party and achieved great success. But now, it seems that * * * and the party are going to die. It has split into two factions: one is a conservative who supports President william howard taft, and the other is a radical who opposes Taft. Theodore roosevelt tried his best to help Taft win the presidential election. Taft just took office a year ago. However, in this short time, he almost completely broke with the radicals who supported Roosevelt.

* * * and the split of the party originated from * * * and the radicals in the party expected Taft to work with passion and energy like Roosevelt. They need someone who can promote social progress and inspire people. Theodore roosevelt is such a person, Taft is not. Taft is a big slow-moving man who refuses to make a quick decision. As a former judge, he made decisions based on facts rather than passion. Taft promoted many reforms initiated by Roosevelt, but his working methods gave people a feeling that he seemed to be strangling them.

Just before the former president returned to China, Taft wrote a short message to Roosevelt. He said, "I don't know if I am more unfortunate than other presidents, but I know that I have achieved much less success than other presidents. I have been trying to implement your policies, but my methods have made these work not go smoothly. "

A few weeks later, theodore roosevelt returned to China. In new york, he gave a speech in front of the welcoming crowd. He said, "I am ready and willing to do my part to help deal with the problems facing the United States. If the United States wants to achieve what it wants to achieve, then these problems must be solved. " In a letter to President Taft, Roosevelt wrote: "For two months, I will not make any speech or comment on anything. But as soon as I shut up, I want to use my brain. "

President Taft invited theodore roosevelt to meet at the White House, but Roosevelt refused, but he met some radicals who opposed the president. Later, he met with President Taft in Massachusetts, where he was spending his summer vacation. It was an unpleasant meeting. The relationship between these two former good friends is a little tense. After this meeting, Roosevelt decided to cooperate with * * * and the radicals in the party, because he thought that President Taft blocked the implementation of Roosevelt's policy.

Roosevelt thought it was time for him to enter the American people. He accepted the invitation to go to Wyoming for the celebration. He travels by train. He stopped in many towns and gave speeches. He called for unity within the party, and he wanted to bridge the internal differences that weakened the party. But his policies are radical. Conservatives refused to support Roosevelt. President Taft didn't understand Roosevelt's purpose. "If I knew what he wanted," Taft said, "I would do as he said, but he didn't say anything to me. I feel deeply hurt. He didn't give me a chance to explain my position or teach me how to do it. "

Theodore roosevelt's lecture tour is to help * * * and the Party win the parliamentary election of 19 10. His efforts almost failed, and the Party was defeated in many states. Theodore roosevelt remained silent for a year after the defeat of the parliamentary election of the Communist Party of China. However, near the end of 19 1 1, American political parties began to prepare for next year's presidential election. Roosevelt was convinced that Taft could not be re-elected, and Taft had completely become a conservative. He broke off contact with business. What kind of people do the American people need? Roosevelt believed that Americans needed a radical president, and Americans needed people like him. Therefore, theodore roosevelt began to deliver a speech criticizing many actions of President Taft. For example, President Taft proposed to negotiate with Canada, Britain and France, which was criticized by Roosevelt.

Taft was very confused. He said to a friend, "It is very difficult to bear these blows from Roosevelt. I really don't know what he wants to do except create difficulties for me. " I am sad to see close friendship break like a rope of sand. "But now, for President Taft, one thing is clear, that is, Roosevelt wants to be a * * * and party presidential candidate in the 19 12 presidential election.

Previously, Roosevelt wanted to be a presidential candidate, which would make Taft very happy. He is very willing to leave the White House. But now things have changed, because Roosevelt has changed. Taft felt that the policy advocated by Roosevelt was too radical. Taft thinks he has a responsibility to oppose Roosevelt and radical policies, and he will seek re-election. Taft thinks he will win the presidential nomination, because he still has the support of many party leaders.

Four months before the nomination meeting of * * * and the party, some radical governors of * * * and the party called on Roosevelt to come out of the mountain, and they urged him to declare himself the presidential candidate of * * * and the party. They said Roosevelt was the man who could bring America into a new era of social progress. However, Taft issued a strong statement against radical policies, saying that "they are seeking to overthrow the Statue of Liberty and representative government." A reporter asked Roosevelt to respond to President Taft's statement. Roosevelt said, "My hat has rings." It means that he is already the presidential candidate of * * * and the party. Now, the conflict between Taft and Roosevelt has become public, and Roosevelt is ready to fight.

In a series of speeches by Roosevelt, he criticized Taft fiercely, even with hatred in his voice. He said: Taft is completely controlled by conservative politicians, Taft is a stumbling block to social progress, Taft is a traitor. Taft had to respond to Roosevelt's accusation. In a speech, he said: "Roosevelt's accusation will break my heart." I'm standing here responding to an old friend's accusation. I completely deny all these allegations. " I don't want to fight Roosevelt, but I must fight him. "After the speech, a reporter asked to see the President. He found the president sitting alone with his head in his hands and tears in his eyes. "Roosevelt was a close friend of mine," Taft said.

Brief comments:

Roosevelt was like the president behind the scenes. He hopes that the current president will act in full accordance with his policies, otherwise it will not work. This is too overbearing.

However, in the real world, there are many former leaders like Roosevelt. Some people, although retired from the leadership position, always think that everything he has done is correct, and the successor must undoubtedly act according to his policies, otherwise it will be betrayal, otherwise it will hinder the development of the cause. So they tried their best to exert various influences to ensure the success of their unfinished business.

However, it is not up to one person or two people, or several people, or one party or two parties, or several parties to decide what is right and wrong. Ultimately, it should be decided by the people. How come the people have the final say, that is, through elections, who the people choose, that is, the people decide who is right and who is wrong.

However, we should clearly realize this point here, that is, in any society, in order to win the election, everyone will do everything possible to take abnormal means, such as bribery, controlling the election, buying the election and so on. Especially in small-scale elections, these methods are easy to succeed. In contrast, it is very difficult to do this in a wider range of elections. Therefore, in addition to strict supervision of elections, elections should be held in the largest scope, and small-scale elections must not be held. Small-scale elections can only lead to failure and make people lose confidence in the election.
