THE AMERICAN TIMES: JUNE  4,1920

A New Hope for the Democratic Party

After months of discussion, the Senate has approved the entry of the USA into the league of Nations with some reservations. All the 49 democrat senators voted in favor to the Bill. Meanwhile, 12 republicans voted for it. This reservations calm the fears of Brittish influence on american foreing policy.
Acting president Thomas Marshall later did an speech in the White House, remembering the  violence of the Great War, especially on the Mexican American Theater. As the health state of Wilson seem to not recover, most expect Marshall to be the Democratic Party presidential candidate for the next elections.

THE AMERICAN TIMES: JULY 26, 1920

Debs: a final chance?
The old socialist leader, Eugene Debs, rallies again on mayor cities for another presidential campaing of his.
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin along with the socialist member of the US House Victor Berger. The Socialist Party supported the seft defence efforts after the mexicans attacked the southern border in 1916, but they now campaing agaisnt the "sphere of influence" on Mexico, Cuba and other countries of Latino America. They continue their economic and labor proposals of usual. The socialist supporters carry singular saying "Harding is another conservative working for big business" and "Marshall gives you a grape as lunch and calls it progressive". Berger' bills are too radical for most congressmen, but he campaings on his voting récord. It's imposible a win of Debs, but winning even a seat on the federal Congress is no small feat. This paper is not socialist, but we support their freedom to speak and get elected as Voltaire would do

A new McKinley?: The Ohioan Front Porch
In Marion, Ohio, the republican presidential candidate recieves supporters from various states each day. Most think republicans may win all the Midwest outside the democrat leaning Missouri, so most supporters coming are from the West. Yesterday, a group of southern californian supporters went to his house. At the start, they singed with the presidential candidate the brand new "Willy's Normalcy" song. Later, they asked Harding on his opinion on mexican inmigration. He responded: "Each american born citizen deserves the same rights, but we can't let a mob of foreings enter freely the country and change our culture. We need reasonable limits to inmigration, and I promise to change the current situation on the issue." He avoided to talk on the idea of quotas. It seems nativism is very alive. Is Harding right? Take time to decide it before election day.

The Mormon Vote
A delegation from the Democratic Party went two days ago to Salk Lake City, Utah to reach mormon leaders. They promise measures to protection agaisnt "protestant radicals" and their usual discourse of states' rights. As the discussions for a potential endorsement continue, there was a democrat rally yesterday, with the vicepresidential candidate Franklin Roosevelt. There, his discourse focused on economic issues. He reunited with local farmers and talked to them. McAdoo leads the democrat delegation, and after reaching an endorse or being rejected, he will lead the democrat campaing on the Mountain West and the Plains.
The democrat goverment is supporting fiscal progressive measures, but the Federal Reserve is still mantaining monetary policies considered detrimental by some economists. The goverment blames the deflational crisis on the "Fed", and they are not alone.

THE AMERICAN TIMES: AUGUST 16, 1920

August Rallies

As Harding continues his campaing from home, Coolidge continues rallying on the Northeast. As democrats get back the irish vote, states like Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York become competitive. Yesterday, he meet with Roosevelt on Providence, Rhode Island. They decided to talk on the economic situation in front of the public. They commented the usual topics with their usual discourses. The public only sighly reacted to a republican joke: "We want the goverment to have a normal size. Four more years of democrats are four years of new federal departments every day. All day. All night long." Later, Roosevelt promised to a journalist to go to Marion if Coolidge didn't accept a debate on Boston or New York.

New Polls

The race continue being competitive. You can see the latest presidential race polls in a map down in this page.
Meanwhile, we continue polling on the US House races of our región where third parties may win.

Illinois 5th District

Republicans  40%
Democrats 37%
Socialists 23%
(Undecided: 25%)

The socialists have focused their resources in this Chicago seat. As interventionism and nativism alineates some voters from both parties, Eugene Debs declared a week ago his objetives to "get at least 5 seats" this election. Most newspapers continue joking on the idea, but nobody knows what will happen in november.

Minnesota 5th District
Republicans 48%
Farmer Labor 38%
Democrats 14%

The Farmer Labor Party is polling strong in some Upper Midwest seats. Some expect the democrats to get some alliance with this regional party at some point, altrought the Smith wing of the party fears losing their moderate ethnic voters. The republican senator from Wisconsin La Follete has endorsed the Farner Labor candidate of this district, altrought he also is endorsing republicans on his state. Thompson thanked the senator, and ñater declared to be agaisnt any potential reach to democrats. People especulate on a "anti-donkey" alliance. See comic commentary on the same page of always.

Wisconsin 5th District

Socialists 47%
Republicans 45%
Democrats 8%

Some expect moderate and conservative democrats to support republicans here agaisnt Berger, but no one knows what will happen in november. Some of our reporters have heard rumours about the socialists preparing a film ad. Our correspondents on Milwaukee will interview a leader of the Wisconsin Socialist Party tomorrow to clarify the situation.
As usual, our paper will keep you informed on third parties, even if we disagree with their platforms.

A Whole New Situation and polls on it
After the discussions of the Democrat Party with the Farmer Labor party ended, their failure has been accused on the Farmer Labor requirement to a promise to support a federal Anti Lynching Bill in exchange of any potential collaboration. The next day, two days ago, republicans promised again their support for this bill. Meanwhile, the economic expentations are becoming better after the Federal Reserve finally lowered the interest rates five days ago. As undecided voters seem to increase, our polls this week are on the opinions of these developments in the states of Ohio and Indiana.

POLL1: Do you support an Anti-Lynching Bill?
Yes, at federal level  55%
Not at federal level but yes in my state 10%
Nor federal level nor in my state 25%
Undecided 10%

POLL2: Who is the main responsable of the recession?
Acting President Marshall 6%
The Federal Congress 5%
President Wilson 18%
The Federal Reserve 48%
The effects of the Great War 17%
The economic cycle 6%

Tommy to NY
Eugene Debs has been campaining three days of the last week in NYC.Even if his campaing was focused on the poorest areas and jewish neightborhoods, local polls show his party being competitive in various us house races there. Meanwhile, the Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx streets are invaded full by socialist ads agaisnt the local Tammany Hall machine. Yesterday, we finally watched the democrat reaction.

As september comes close, the democrat party yesterday announced a small tour to the northeast. He promises to visit New York City, Albany, Worchester, Hartford and New Haven. This tour will start this wednesday, with a rally in Manhattan.

Frankie goes to the Porch
Yesterday, the democrat vicepresidential candidate Franklin Roosevelt debated with the republican presidential candidate William Harding in William's house. You can find the transcription of this on the last five pages of this special edition.

The debate was focused on domestic policy. Harding avoided to touch the issue of inmigration. After the debate, we asked Roosevelt on his opinion of the issue. He responded: "it's true that we can't let everybody here, especially as communists spies from Russia may enter the country. Despite that, I can say that both Thomas and me are agaisnt the idea of quotas".

We asked a part of the public which was the winner of the debate for them. This are the results of the survey:
William Harding 42%
Franklin Roosevelt  45%
None 13%

AMERICAN TIMES: SEPTEMBER 6,1920

Western Cool: Colorado

The republican vicepresidential candidate, Calvin Coolidge, visits Denver, Colorado. In a rally there, he focuses his discourse on his support of prohibition and moderate isolationism. Also, he critisized Wilson on his Great War Acts and his "out of touch" foreing policy between 1918 and 1919. When asked about farm issues, he told "We support pragmatic measures like soil conservation and keeping the current farmer credit system to keep farms competitive". The reaction of the public ended up mixed.

The Acting President Tour: Goodbye Connecticut
The acting president ended his Northeast Tour visiting New Haven. He campainged on the small successes of his government. Later, he proclamed his support to the Irish Free State and his opposition of inmigration quotas, to the public delight. At the end, a small mob appeared with sings saying "LYNCHING BAN NOW". The situation almost ends in a fight. The brittish ambassador may be furious, but the irish americans and italian americans of Connecticut continue supporting the president. In the Northeast page of usual, you can see how they celebrate with anti-English songs.

The effects of the small controversy seem clear looking at the state level presidential election polls.

Volunteers join the Canandian Revolution

As anti-British sentiments increase in the New World, a good number of american simpatizantes WI the recent upspring of french speaking military units in Canada. They demand total independence from the UK and a federal goverment where the provinces have more power. The Secretary of State has avoided to
In New York City, 124 young males volunteered today. Most of them seemnto be of italian, polish and irish origin. 119 of them passed the medical and mental controls. As these Boys entered the 'Friends of Canadá tent in Battery Park, a small group of demonstrators appeared. The protesters shouted "Keep Pecae at Our Continent" and "League of Nations, its time to do your job". Some think the anti-british rethoric of our acting president has influenced the situation north of the border.

The Senate Reaction

The Senate Majority Leader Lodge told yesterday to the Boston Tribune that he supports neutraliza on the conflict over the border. Meanwhile, senator Folk from Missouri supports the idea of the United States moderating talks between the rebels and the brittish goverment. Senator Walsh feom Massachusetts has proclamed his support of the upspring north of the border. Despite their difference opinions on the issue, all of them repuestos Marshall to increase the security in the northern border.

POLLS:  The Fall of the Elephant

After the acting president declares his support of the canadian rebels, the political dinamics have changed. As the House debates on the situation, the american people support the president. After months of polls favoring Harding, the new polls finally seem to favor the democrats.



Notes from the Director

This newspaper usually avoids taking clearly a side, but now we have to declare our compromise with our principles. Thousands of our men are now fighting with canadians for the full independence of Canadá. We have democrats, republicans and members of other parties between our journalist. They won't join the fight, but they have already declared their support of the ideas of Monroe. I know we have already suffered with the war with México, Germany and Austria, but now we have new tolls. The internacional community, the member sof the League of Nations, are uniting in favor of the cause. We won't ask you to vote for the democrats. Instead, we will ask the republicans to have the same principles they had in 1898.

THE AMERICAN TIMES: SEPTEMBER 27,1920

The end of republicanism?

After the creación of the FTC, which helped unite the party but seemed to harm he protectionist appeal, republicans expected oposition to union radicalism, fears of goverment overreach, ethnic issues, foreing issues and civil rights to favor them. But now, their oposition to the canadian cause is hurting them among a lot of groups. The internacionalist wing may be small on the Senate, but their voters are alive and trending democrat. This isn't our opinión, the polls show it.

The Trap

A leader of the Farmer Labor party visited acting president Marshall. In the White House, he showed Thomas a written Compromise for a future fusión of their parties. Most supposed the event to be just a consequence of Farmer Labor support for the canadian cause. The reality was that compromise letter included a promise for a anti-lynching federal bill. The president signed it without reading the paper. This happened three days ago, but can see now the reaction by the state parties of some southern states down this page.

Pa tries

Acting president Marshall ended up with a compromise with segregationist democrats. They would keep him in all ballet but also the federal goverment would let each state to put James "Pa" Ferguson, formely a minor candidate only on Texas ballot, on their ballots. As some republicans have accepted to support the canadian rebels with diplomacia and economic measures, some expect the election to become as comeptitive as possible.

A socialist going pragmatic

In a rally in Chicago, Eugene Debs remembered the audience on his support for canadian rebels. In the middle of the rally, he proclamed: "We need to get proper representatives to the working class at least to the House
We can win a seat here in Chicago. But we have to be realistic too. I won't win the presidential race. Now, I ask all socialists to focus only on the congressional races and I won't demand you to vite for me at the presidential election."

Polls

The congressional polls seems still favorable to third parties. Both the Farmer Labor and the Socialist party continue to support their congressional races.

Illinois 5th District

Republicans 36%
Socialists 34%
Democrats 29%

Meanwhile, the presidential race continue being the main focus:

THE AMERICAN TIMES: OCTOBER 11, 1920

The world agaisnt UK

After a rebel victory near Ottawa, the UK has decided to let the League of Nations decide the fate of Canadá. Most of the League side with Canada, so the full independence of the country seems nearly sure. Altrough the acting president is partly credited with the sucess of the rebels, this also puts the focus on other issues. Republicans expect to win back the presidency focusing on their old northern interest economic mensaje, meanwhile democrats will try to get back their old time strongholds of the south and the Middle Atlantic.

The black vote

In some northern states, the african american community is increasing and may define future elections. To reach social liberal whites and black voters in the north, Harding promised a new Civil Rights Act. It's potential pass seems unlikeable, but the move has increased the vote in the south for Marshall. As Ferguson losses support, most hope that we may avoid the election to end up defined by the Senate. Outside civil right issues, the economy has been growing in the last months, and most think that black voters may lean democrat despite the new republican proposals.

The future of the Plains vote

During the 1900s, republicans dominated the region in presidential elections. After the Wilson success on the region four years ago, some expected democrat progressivism to compete better in the area. Now, the future seems unclear. The great plains, a region where both aprties have competed for years, seem to maybe be finally won by republicans. A local senator, Charles Curtis, has been campaining in the last week for Harding. He unites his generally more conservative platform with the more popular republican farmer proposals. After a week of rallies between Nebraska and Kansas, he plans to visit Colorado and maybe Montana. Protectionism, an stance that used to reach mostly factory workers, is now use in some Curtis discourses to appeal farmers agaisnt the 'danger of south american crops'.

Today and tomorrow

As the reccesion seems to be ending, some expect the economy to grow in the short term, as american business export therir products to an Europe that's still coming back from the Great War.
After the war, new geopolitical and economic situations impact the expectatives of every mind. In the cities of Minnesota, Indiana and Ohio, we interviewed locals on their opinions of the increase of tarrifs rates. We give those citizens fake names to protect their identities.
JOHN: I don't focus that much on the issue, but I work as a shoe make rand so I want affordable prices for my  input materials. Keeping the current tariffs rates can help the small business owner. On the other hand, we should try to export more to Japan and maybe put factories there. I don't want to see japoneses products being sold in the stores of my city.
LOIUS: Germany always comes back. You will se them getting back even better. They created the car, and they will dominate the industry again at some point. As they do that, those frenchmen will grow and create their new Belle Epoque. Also, I expect the brittish to finally industrialize in the next years India. Imagine how little would cost those products with the low indian wages. We need to increase our tariff rates a bit now and more in the next years. Twelve years of republican goverment can do that.
AMY: My husband has a store of importes products, but our son works in the offices of one of those manufacturing big companies. To me, we need to get fair on the issue. We need more trust busting, the FTC needs to be more active and have a bit biggerbudget.  That way, we will have lower prices but more production. We need a new Teddy, but we only have a GOP suite and a lite Wilson with some common sense.

Minnesota and North Dakota: progressive for what?
As the novel 'Main Street', where a Farmer-Labor party supporter in the 1910s was the protagonist, becomes popular around the nation, its author Sinclair Lewis visits back his home state of Minnesota. In a press conference there, he proclaimed to 'support the democrats this year'. Farmer Labor politicians are supporting Marshall in the presidential election. Despite the alliance, some old tiem Farmer Labor supporters will stay home or vote republican...

Polls

Minnesota 5th District
Farmer Labor 50%
Republicans 49%
Democrats 1%

After the alliance, democrats decided to stop campaining in this disteict after the Farmer Labor candidate promised to caucus with democrats if elected to the House. The last federal election of the party may be also the one with its best results.

THE AMERICAN TIMES: OCTOBER 25, 1920

After the election day

As the teatry negotiations on the canadian issue will continue for the next months, irish dominated city machines activate to support democrats. They repart a pamphlet named "Marshall: the candidate for Ireland, Germany, Italy, Russia and Canada". Democrats dream on the third party coalition getting back, with those huge NY electoral votes incq  ,   xa,luded.
Meanwhile, republicans distribute their our pamphlets around the country. They call for 'normalcy and clean goverment'. One of them tells a story on the country giving a lot of money to Ireland and Canada as the debt and taxes increase. On California, Hiram Johnson did yesterday a rally on Sacramento supporting Harding. He says 'every isolationist should vote republican'. He will go with that discourse to Los Angeles in some days.

A Scientific Group?

As the questions of inmigration quotas and non white civil rights are discussed, a group of antrhopologists and other 'experts' have created the 'Racial Realistic Scientific Group' where they study the capacities of races and ethnic groups based on suposed evidence. This group has its main headquarters in Saint Louis, but it also has branches on most states. After a congress in Saint Louis, the group leader has asked politicians to avoid talking about racial and ethnic issues until better information comes from the situation. The group tries to be neutral and its open to any posibility its investigaciones may lead to, but it has decided to be an all white group. Some catholic bishops and progressive leaders in nrothern states has condemned their actions, but the some senators from both parties support their iniciatives.

As the presidential, US House and, in some states, US Senate elections come, republicans and democrats will unite today in going to the ballox box. Let's join the game. Go to the polls. Rememebr to vote with your mind and heart and forget the surveys for a minute.

Loving the polls

We asked local republicans and democrats on their expectatives on the election. We show you their responses with fake names to protect them.

Republicans
A SMITH: I expect my party to win. I feel that upstate New York is underpolled. Democrats always win the city, but then republicans win the state. Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse will vote with a dry brain.
J DOE: To me, the party is investing too much in the plains and the west. Our party was created as the party of the industrial noeth. Losing Massachusetts and Ohio would be a disaster, but it would help us to stop that isolationist-nativist nonsense. If we lose, it will be a lesson to come back to our Lincoln and McKinley roots.

Democrats
M JOHNSON: Those republicans uses to manipulate the workers of the factories of our región to win elections. Now, a better future arrives. A future were workers and common sense is respected.
D ADAMS: These republicans think they will win the world running a platform that males Taft seems like a radical progressive. At the end, they will copyright democrat proposal, moderate them and call it their archievement. The northeast is awaking, and it will hurt Harding. Minnesota will follow them.

THE AMERICAN TIMES: NOVEMBER 05,1920

A sort of a landslide



Despite winning the popular vote only by 4%, democrats got big results on the electoral college, including a surprise win in Minnesota.

Socialist: Mission failed?
Everything counted, the Socialist Party got 3 seats in the House elections. Most consider this a small victory for them, but Eugene Debs may think otherwise. Even if some of his objectives, like winning a seat in Oklahoma, were nearly daydreams, others think the oportunity existed for it. Sadly for them, the 'anti interventionist on Latin America' discourse couldn't reach the american voter. Meanwhile, their economic plstform will continue appealing to some voters, altorught some say democrats will end up getting those votes at some point.

Canada explotes again

In a surprising event, the british prime minister decided to leave the treaty discussions on London along the rest of League of Nations representatives of the member countries. After the information entered Canadá by telegraph, a rebel group started a gun filled fight with loyalists on Toronto. After this sort of battle, the war centially beging again. Ten men died yesterday, thousands will follow them in the next days.

We too

In the armistice, the USA got the role of 'guardian' of the fullfitment of it. Now, as the UK broke it, most expect Marshall to declare war to the United Kingdom. The president already said his word on the issue: the USA would only use volunteer officers and soldiers on canadian soil unless the british attacked american soil or sea.
Meanwhile, the USA can count on some allies:

- France: it was named as another guardian
- Spain: it also was named
- Mexico: has a 'influence teatry' with the USA

Pancho Villa: a new oportunity for heroism

The controversial but still popular mexican 'caudillo' Pancho Villa, decided to unite with Carransa in war agaisnt the USA in 1916. After his defecto, he avoided the public eye for months. Two weeks ago, Emiliano Zapata declared to be reforming his militia in case canadians 'needed support'
Now, most expect both Villa and Zapata to come back with their old supporters. By now, we can just expect and suppose about their future as leaders, but its sure that EEUU will request mexican help.

The Battle of the Hamilton

Some miles south of that canadian city, british-canadian loyal units continue fighting agaisnt the coalition of rebel canadian and american units. Yesterday, the anti-british units gained some territory, altorught they were still the side with more human loses. As Quebec is nearly a fully liberated province, the pro-brittish trops will cm focus on keeping their current ottawan strongholds.
Meanwhile, mexican 'pro-goverment' units led by the Obregon goverment and mexican volunteer units led by Villa and Zapata march across our country with obvious american permision.

Tiny Island, Big Fear

Near Newfoundland, the small archipielago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a small stronghold of french interest in the area. Some french ships were send there a month ago. Meanwhile, loyal british units of the island started yesterday a fight with the french ships in the area. As the pro-british ships mived in direction to the french colony (which will start a transition to self-goverment in internacional affairs in some months), american units went from anti-british ports of Nova Scotia to the place of the combat. As french ships moved south, they united with american ships. The combat started at 13:00 PM. The pro british side attacked mostly american ships. By the night, two american ships and a pro british ship were lost. Both sides had nearly the same human loses.The small french ships protected the small colony, but let pro british ships continue their planned way into Quebec.

UK comes
As mexican and american units move to the american canadian border, the british PM has decided  to start sending more units after 'Boxing Day'(26 december) to Canada. There won't be draft, but thousends of young english and scottish men have already volunteered for the war. In the USA, volunteerrs mostly come from New England and Upper Midwest (a mix of irish and germans). The idea of fighting with or agaisnt Villa atracts some young males, even if the oficial discourses from both sides avoid mentioning him.

Cinema show

After the sucess of 'El Zorro', Douglas Fairbanks has a new box office hit with 'The dawn in Ladero', a war film based in the real life Battle of Ladero some years ago in the Great War. The film combines the war with memories of a short romantic relationship in the main character's hometown. This films also shows the transition from an old school battle with bayonet charges to a modern battle with tanks. The reception has been good from both the audience and critics, but the film has encountered controversy.
The idea of it being pro war propaganda has circulated in some newspapers and magazines. A socialist supporting paper says "It romantices the death of war as a necesity for progress. Officers and "skilled snipers" like the film protagonist succeed at cost of the lives of young inexperienced plain soldiers. A dull pro élite film." Meanwhile an isolationist paper says: "A film where the only caracther done by a well know actor is the one that survives as the magic of the script days so. In real life, he would have died too. Now, thousands of our soldiers will die in the next days. Some have already died. The best of that generation is going to die for some rebels and radicals up north. What a shame on our president who let this happen.".

Goodbye, FLP

The Farmer Labor Party oficially disappears. It's state branches unite with the Democratic Party branches of those states. We can't exactly now the effect of this, but we can see it in some polls. Even if the Farmer Labor presidential candidate of the last election avoided campaining and asked his supporters to vote democrat, some of them through otherwise.

(DECEMBER 31, 1920)

In Hamburg, thousands of german volunteers cleberate what could be their last New Year's eve.
Before the celebrations, they reunited in the morming in a rally. There, Adolf Hitler along with other bolunteers proclaimed their reasons to to go to the war with canadian rebelsagaisnt the UK. Thomas Mann was also there. The writer contacted Hitler and they went to a cafe at 4 PM.
Thomas: Your speech was very fine. You have an special talent. You may think that I'm an old upper class man out of touch with your ideals, but I think you should avoid this war.
Adolf: Thanks. Well, I'm very compromised on this effort. I already fought in the Great War. Our lose wasn't my fault, but I know that I could have done more. Also, I'm currently jobless. If I survive the war, I will recieve some money from those donations. On the other hand, I don't see how I could get money from speeches.
Thomas: I think that your style could ve useful in the future. I have heard that the radio technology is envolving, and radio stations in some years. There is the posibility of politics. That's a long talk, but I know people. You could go this night to my place to talk about it.
Adolf: No, I don't want to go to the room of an strange man at night. You are a good fellow, but there are aome rules in society....
Actually, I have heard some things about you. I'm not your Tadzio. I'm a veteran.
Thomas: I have also heard some thing about you. You used to be in one of those weird groups.
Adolf: That's true, but as the world envolves and that american group does those well funded studies I decided to get out of there for some months. There was also a problem with a friend there.
Thomas: The 'race realists'? I know some of them. If you leave the war, I can help you to contact with them.
Adolf: I have an idea. I will go to the war as planned. If I survive, I can visit you, and talk about our next plans.
Thomas: Good call. I give you these directions, I own this place. I always have someomw working there, I will remember him to comform and feed you if you go there.
Some minutes later, Thomas retired.
As Hitler traveled from Hamburg to Canada, some of his throughs started to change as his anti british sentiments radicalized even more. Maybe Thomas' objective to get him out of antisemitism could succeed if he survives the war.

Loyalist out of the Saint Lawrance

The loyalist navy units' ports were attacked by anti-british coalition army units. To sale their lives, the loyal officials and sailors got away of the ports with their ships. The rebel ships let them get out, but kept an state of alert. In the Great Lakes, american ships search for pro-british ships. This operation has only caused five fatalities, but this could change at any point as british ships are coming to Canada trought the Atlantic.

1920 memories

As we remember the 1920 elections, there is a county level map of the presidential elections on the Northeast. Here, democrats are colored blue.

THE AMERICAN TIMES: 1 FEBRUARY 1921

A nation vs one man

The POTY of 1920, PM David L George, is one of the most controversial names in our country, especially in the Northeast. Our youth volunteers agaisnt them. It's a nation vs George.
In the Praire front, american soldiers (mostly volunteers) and mexican soldiers continue fighting agaisnt the loyalist units. Even if the british side is winning on the Newfoundland treater, we can have hopes here. The current fight, called by somos as 'the big Manitoba battle' has showed good developments by our troops. The loyalist units have lose nearly a mile, and canadian guerrillas wait for them on the woods. If the pro independence side wins thhe battle today, the loyalist would leave the province. The mexicans, leaded by Panxho Villa, and patriot canadian soldiers wait for them in Saskatchewan.

Weird theories, life and death

After another battle in the Ontario front, some german soldiers survived but ended up wounded. This ugly but normal event became news as one of the injuried soldiers is a former nacional socialist leader. Him, Hitler, was part of a group that combines antisemitism, nationalism, socialism and other ways of through. We can expect his retirement of that group meaning his change of mind.
In New York, Thomas Mann wait for him. This strange pair have an unlikely friendship. Mann is an ethnic german, but the writer is also know for his anti-antisemitism stances. There, he reunites with the 'race realists'. Together, they have archieved an stance of the organization agaisnt lynching, even if they support mantaining segregation and creating quotas until their research says otherwise.

Child labor: a new chance
After the small victories of the Socialist Party in the last elections and the fears of soviet appeal, the House seems finally decided to work for a bill on the issue. After the failure of conservatism in the last election...

THE AMERICAN TIMES: MARCH 1921

The Fake Majority?

In the 1920 elections, democrats (incl FLP) suposedly won 224 House seats and 49 Senate seats.
The situation is the party is divided between southerns, northerns, westerns, conservatives, moderates and progressives.

As the situation continues, the party has decided to let ideololgical causus at the House form. After discussion, some defined caucuses appeared:

Traditionalist Caucus: A conservative to moderate (on economics) southern caucus. Pro Jim Crow.
Localist Caucus: A progressive to moderate (on economics) southern caucus. Pro Jim Crow.
Goverment Caucus: A moderate northern and western caucus.
Dream Caucus: A moderate to progressive northern caucus oriented to ethnic whites.
Farmer Caucus: A western (but open to northerns) progressive caucus.
Labor Caucus: A northern progressive caucus. Moderate on trade.

The current House democrat leader, Champ Clark, has decided to avoid entering an ideological caucus.
