    THE ELECTION OF 1916 - Part Three; Not a Man To Be Enthused About
    Apr 22 2024
    In our third episode on the close 1916 election, a group of events take place between the nomination of candidates and the voting that help to determine the election. In the end, it comes down to two states. In a development that will never happen again in history, many voters are not enamored with either candidate. Why they decide to pick one or the other, or not vote, is what we will examine in this episode. We are part of Airwave Media Network Music is by Lee Rosevere. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Both major parties have their conventions. The Democratic swashbucklers are at the podium, firing up a party to get excited about Wilson by linking him to a cause. One he didn't ask to be linked to. The Republicans get their party united, and toastmaster Warren G. Harding is fierce as he makes the case to dump Wilson. The Socialists also pick new candidates, a decision which may be as impactful as anything on Election Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    America decides whether or not to re-elect a President and it's close. Bruce does his best 1916 version of Steve Kornacki going through the returns as they come in and as the nation awaits a verdict. A President that hadn't been elected with a majority, a re-election that happens while Europe is at war. Early results show that America will get a new President. But those pesky precincts. Why can't they count the vote faster? We talk about the factors behind the election and Wilson's Presidency. We are part of Airwave Media Network Learn more about your ad choices.
