Guys. Calm down.

This unity ticket will go through. RL politics is full of marriages of convenience, and this particular marriage of convenience is doomed to end in divorce by 1901. One unity ticket every five elections won't kill you.

There is no ill will involved against any specific players in anti-trust. Really you should remember that I could easily have banned making your character a super-successful businessman back when you guys first started to do it.
 
Fellow Americans, please take this into consideration before you vote: Orleans and Garrett are both so-called "Titans of Industry", men who are threatened by anti-trust and anti-monopoly bills. I, on the other hand, am a man little different from you: I have a modest job for modest pay, I have the same day-to-day worries as you, and so on. Tell me, would you rather vote for a man who's only real motivation for running for president is to protect his business, or a man who is truly interested in bettering all American citizens, who truly knows the quarrels that the average American has to deal with?
 
Gentleman, gentleman

Though I'm inclined by the proposals of the honorable Mr. Orleans, I need first to know the platform of Garret.

((Free Trade, Laissez Faire, Pro Military, Full Citizenship, Secular; I also support non-intervention in foreign affairs))
 
Misters Garret, Orleans and Carr, I suggest one of you break the deadlock before I am compelled to do it by picking the candidate that would make most sense in-story.
 
(We have a Liberal party yet?)
 
((BBB, it seems unlikely Orleans or I will surrender in favor of the other; failing a sudden change of heart by Carr, I think you may be best served choosing who you think is best, just to keep the story moving along))
 
((I will vote for Carr or Orleans, i like them both equally (sorry Garrett, but your monopoly stance doesn't impress.)

I'll flick a coin if a resolution isn't found))
 
Having been in communication with the other candidates via letter, I don't think an agreement can be found between us. So I ask any party members who have not yet cast their ballot to vote for Orleans. My long and fruitful ((oh the humour)) career in business has taught me about economics and the benefits of the markets. And I understand that only through free and open markets, where a man can build and run his business without fear of government dismantlement, can we recover from this mess. The economy is te most important issue of this election, and I think of all the candidates I have the best grasp on this intricate and complicated subject, through experience and hard work.
 
But would you truly want to vote for a man who's only desire to run for president is vengeance over the loss of his trust? Before his trust was broken apart, Orleans had little to no desire or reason to run for office. This want for vengeance could very easily derail his campaign if he is chosen to be the ACP candidate, and could very well lead to a disastrous presidency if he is elected.

Don't vote for petty vengeance! Vote for someone who truly knows the concern of the common man, and wishes to improve the common man's lot!
 
I ran for office for Vice President before Harrison came along. This isn't about vengeance, I'm not a mere child, this is about ensuring the American economy isn't doomed for the next fifty years to socialist government control. If I were elected it would lead to four years of unparalleled growth and prosperity, the economy driven by the innovation and skill of the American businessman and worker, given new life by lifting the burden of heavy taxation off their shoulders!
 
In front of a crowd outside his home one of the last men to support a cantidate, Marshawn Cain, prepares to tell his constituents whom he is supporting in the Election.

"America has taken a turn for the better in recent years. And in this economy I find my support drifting towards the ACP. My vote goes to Andrew Garret."
