Cameron Block’s arrangement_2 Chapter 619: 218.

Cameron Block’s arrangement_2 Among them, the most thorough was the DuPont Family, where each generation would choose to enter politics, go to Congress, and become important congress members!

William Howard Taft thought for a moment and said, “If I let him graduate two years late, would you have any objections?”

Donnie hesitated for a moment and asked, “What do you mean?”

William Howard Taft said, “I hope he can attend Yale University for another two years.”

Donnie was stunned for a moment and said, “But even so, doesn’t it seem to go against the recruitment rules of Skull and Bones?”

William Howard Taft laughed and said, “Ha ha!

Donnie, your performance has been very good, even exceeding my expectations.

Why get confused now?@@novelbin@@

Rules are rigid, people are flexible.

As long as I say so, Cameron will be eligible!”

What else could Donnie say?

He thanked him, “Thank you!”

If that were the case, it would be a waste of his time over the last two years and also a wasteful overlap of resources!”

Donnie simply thought it over and understood William Howard Taft’s point.

Cameron’s return to Atlantic City naturally meant no worries about his development prospects, but in this way, the resources Cameron had in New Jersey were actually all provided by himself.

The resources of two brothers in one state would naturally become what William Howard Taft described as a wasteful overlap of resources.

Of course, if Donnie just wanted to run Atlantic City, the city and the state of New Jersey, then there would be no need to worry about this!

Now with William Howard Taft wanting Cameron to go to Yale University for another two years, the goal was to have Cameron join the Skull and Bones Society.

In this way, Cameron would not only have access to Columbia University’s resources but also those of Yale University and Skull and Bones.

In addition, with Donnie’s support in terms of finance, Cameron might become a rising star in American politics.

“Thank you, I understand!” After realizing this, Donnie once again expressed his gratitude to William Howard Taft.

“Then have you thought about which state he should go to?” William Howard Taft obviously wanted to settle this matter today.

Donnie got up and approached the wall in William Howard Taft’s study, where a map of the United States was hanging.

At this time, all 48 states of the United States were there.

“New Jersey, New York State, Ohio won’t work!” First, Donnie ruled out these three states.

The reservations about New Jersey had just been mentioned, and New York State had Theodore Roosevelt Jr.

developing there, with Ohio having Robert Taft.

“States governed by the Democratic Party won’t work either!”

Donnie wanted to temper Cameron but didn’t plan to give him a hellish start.

Currently, Donnie and the Republican Party were deeply tied together.

At least in the short term, Donnie could not afford any rift with the Republican Party.

“I think California is very good!”

After looking for more than ten minutes, Donnie finally made his decision.

In fact, the support for political parties in the United States was not fixed in the states.

Take New Jersey, for example; at present, New Jersey could be said to be staunch Republican territory.

Yet in the future, New Jersey became a staunch fan of the Democratic Party.

California, although not exactly a hardcore Republican fan and even supporting the Democratic Party later on, was overall still leaning towards the Republican Party, especially with the “Los Angeles Times” in Los Angeles being a staunch Republican.

When Harrison Otis controlled the “Los Angeles Times,” he never hid his political orientation and even turned the “Los Angeles Times” into a newspaper exclusively for the Republican Party!

Now that Harrison Otis had passed away, his son-in-law took over the “Los Angeles Times.” While not as exaggerated as before, there was no denying that the “Los Angeles Times” had been firmly stamped with the Republican logo!

In 1910, when Democrat Hiram Johnson ran for Governor of California, he gave a campaign speech in Los Angeles.

Someone in the audience loudly asked, “What do you think of Otis?”

Johnson replied, “San Francisco is infamous for all its vices.

We have wicked officials and corrupt newspapers there.

However, San Francisco does not have anything as evil, vile, base, notorious as Los Angeles’ Harrison Gray Otis.

He sits there with senile dementia, his heart beginning to rot, his mind decomposing, a ghastly countenance, mocking all reforms, pretending to talk about all things good, foaming at the mouth, spouting madness, delirious talk, barking his way to the grave.

He is the most indecent, degenerate, corrupt, deformed, and depraved specter that the people of California could see when they look towards Southern California—that is Harrison Gray Otis.”

This was the Democrats’ loathing for the “Los Angeles Times”!

“A state that is too comfortable or too dangerous is not suitable.

I think California is the best!”

Donnie confirmed his choice once again to William Howard Taft.

William Howard Taft put on his glasses, came beside Donnie, looked at the map, and murmured, “California?

Isn’t that a bit too far from you…

Oh, I remember now, you have your own film company over there!”

At this time, Americans had not yet realized the importance of Hollywood, considering movies only as an emerging industry.
