    (( You guys are basically Bourbon Democrats; consistently isolationist and free trade as the main unifying factor between your various types of conservatism you display. But Bourbon Party is hardly a decent name, and in context is just as civil-war-baiting as Southern Nationalist or Regionalist or this or that would be; as it basically means "we'll rise again, just like the Bourbon dynasty".

    The Free Trade Party would be too on-the-head, the Traditionalists would be too nebulous, States Rights is regionalist-scare re-inciting.

    You could stick it to the labor movement with the National Union as opposed to actual trade unions. You could evoke Warren Harding with the Normalcy Party or the Normal Party or something like that. Evoking that and the Regular Democratic ticket from period in real life you could be the The Regulars or Regular Party.

    As much as I like some of those, I have to suggest the one you'll probably latch on to that I don't like as much, the Independence Party.

    Other options include Free Americans, Citizens Party, and Citizens Independence Party.

    Longshots include the Plutocratic Party, the Timocratic Party, The Plutarch Party, The Gilded Party, The Patrician Party, The Patrons Party, The Patriarch Party, The Bourgeoisie Party, The Gold Party, and the Honorable Party.

    Finally, on the Dempublican note.... the Res Publica Party, RPP (Res Publica Party), or Catonian Party ))
    Dio Guerrero from Arica (b. 1836), Communist, democrat, Resistance fighter in ThunderHawk's "Shadow of the Andes" AAR

    There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests up on them. - William Jennings Bryan (1896)

    That breaks the deadlock on Russell Act 3, and doesn't change the outcomes of the other two.

    The Primary of 1900


    Federal Candidate(s):

    James Harrison (b. 1840), Incumbent President of the Republic ((BigBadBob)). After one-and-a-half successful years in office, Harrison hopes to reunite the shattered Federal Party under his banner. He believes that Mayor Terrance of Philadelphia has summed up the role of government “perfectly”, and that the United States, being as powerful as it is, should not shy away from the world.

    Democratic Candidate(s):

    Jimmy Nightmore (b. 1840), Congressman for Ohio ((yourworstnightm)). A staunch interventionist and veteran of many a political battle, Nightmore hopes to finally gain the democratic nomination.

    George Walsh (b. 1836), Congressman for Virginia ((WelshDude)). One of the party’s most loyal supporters, Walsh, who was vice-president under Hayden, from 1893-97, hopes that he can now gain the nomination of his party for the presidency itself.

    American Conservative Candidate(s):

    Kade Roland Carter (b. 1844), Congressman for Florida ((roy_mustang)). A moderate who voted for Hayden-Harrison in 1897 due to the Federal Party acting as a moderating force on the Democrats, Carter hopes to steer the ACP away from the extreme and return rational thinking to the party.

    -----------------------

    Exceptional Situation(s):


    I’m going to assume Riccardo has withdrawn his candidacy in accordance with this statement:

    “should another man wish to run, I will stand aside…”

    Polls on the Russell Acts are closed.

    The First Russell Act passes 7/6/4

    The Second Russell Act fails 6/7/4

    The Third Russell Act passes 8/7/2

    What exactly is your platform, Mr. Carter... before I decide to endorse you fully (or possibly rethink my previous move), I want to know more about your policies.

    "My fellow Americans! The future is ours. We are marching forward on a path of progress, that must continue. Therefor a vote for the Democrats and indeed for a Nightmore presidency is the clear path forward. The road to equality is open. A Land of Milk and Honey awaits us! The criminals are running out of their arsenal, and we shall not give them breathing room to rearm. Once they thought to break us through a recession, but as God himself can witness, the people wouldn't allow it. Instead we rose up and elected good men to the presidency who stood up to the Titans of the Devil, and fought them. The Monopolies are gone and will not come back. More reforms are on their way. We will break the last forts of Evil, and march to Paradise! Vote Nightmore, the President for the new century!
