Dr. d'Almeida is one of the best- known men in Portugal. His life has been davoted to the Republic. While still at Coimbra in 1880 he published, in a students' paper, the Ullimotum, an article entitled, "The last Braganza," for which he suffered three months' impri sonment. In 1891 he took an active part in the revolutionary movement in Oporto. In 1895 he sailed to St. Thome, where, he remained in the active exercise of his profession as a medical man until 1903. In 1904 he returned to Europe and spent some time in Paris, where he attended the hos pitals. Later in the year he returned to Lisbon and at once recommenced political propa: gands as an ardent champion of the Republic.

No man worked more for the Republic in the years that im- mediately followed or contributed more to the establishment of the Republic in Fortugal. An eloquent and impassioned speaker, he was the most popular of plat form orators during the combat with the Monarchy. By word and pen, in Parliament and in the Press, he preached the Republic into popularity. As a speaker his hold upon the people of Lisbon was unrivalled. Elected deputy for the city in 1906, he thenceforth took an increasingly prominent place among Republican leaders. and propagandists. He was one of the revolutionaries of 1908. Arrested by the agents of Joan Franco, he was then sentenced toj be expelled from the country.

When the Revolution of Octo ber 5, 1910, triumphed, be entered the Provisional Government as Minister of the Interior. This was the most coveted Cabinet: past under the regime. as it con- ferred predominant political

power, by controlling the appoint- meat of all local functionaries throughout the country. The first educational measure of the Republic, the reform of elemen- tary education, was promulgated by Dr. d'Almeida during his tenure of this office.

Upon the formation of the political parties Dr. d'Almeida organized the Evolutionist Party, of which he has remained the head until the present election. He has always shown himself a strong party man, though bis party leadership cannot be con- sidered to have been generally
