VRC.ENTINA’S NEW RADICAL
PRESIDENT A MOST
EXTRAORDINARY MAN
By CHARLES P. STEWART
—
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 1.—When
Hipolito Irigoyen takes the oath of
office Oct. 12 as president of Argen-1
tina, his country will start on one of
the biggest experiments ever under
taken by a republic. Or. Irigoyen will
head the tirst Radical administration
in Argentina.
What the doctor’s idea of “radical
ism’’ is, nobody knows. He has made j
no speeches. He has written almost
nothing. He has never defined his'
position. What he intends to do, as)
president, not one of his countrymen
can guess. Nobody knows whether
he is Pan American.
I he Radical party was organized in
Argentina to tight for fair elections.
It has never had any other platform.
“We have ideals.’’ leading members of.
the party say, "but no program."
There are even reports that Or. Iri
goyen will is*ue a manifesto soon dis
solving the paity it>elf, now that ar»
honest ballot, as he is >aid to believe,
has been guaranteed. This, however,
is mere surmise.
The doctor w as elected president be
cause a majority of the voters tiust-I
ed him. personally, implicitly and
blindly.
Those who believe in him consider
him Argentina’s greatest man. His
opponents regard him a> extremely
dangerous, and look forward to his
administration with the gravest mis
givings.
Dr. Irigoyen is about 60, a tall.|
powerfully built, imposing man. ami
very dark. His blood is Spanish Bas
que. with a slight Indian strain, come
say.
He is smoothly shaven, except for a
very thin black mustache.. Popului
rumor is that it.> thinness is due t > the
doctor’s custom of extracting the
white hairs, which are reported to
have appeared so numerously in re
cent years a* to leave but a scattering
representation after their elimination.
The new president began life poor.
H»* is self-educated but did his work
so well that, today, he is a highl\ cul
tivated man.
Most prominent South Americans
possess some academic degree en
titling them to the prefix of “doctor"
before their names. lrigoyen is
spoken of as “doctor” because he is
prominent. The title is one of court
esy. He lacks the degree.
He is now very rich. His wealth
w a accumulated in successful lan«
transactions. By occupation he is a
ranchman on a huge scale. Part of
his time he spends on his “estancia"
in the country; the rest at his very
modest residence in Buenos Aires.
For a long time, for pure recrea
tion. he held the professorship of
“civic instructions" at the Buenos
Aires Ksquela Normal de Mujeivs, or
Normal School for Women. His su!
ary for this work he turned over leg
ularh to the Soeiedad de Penefic'en
cia, or “United Charities” of Bov nos
Aires. Twelve years ago a president j
who was his personal enemy ean-ed;

For twenty years he has been tec
Radical party’s leader. His authority
has been absolute. His opponents
within the party’s ranks have been
few and, sooner or later, he has al
ways won them over.
“His mere presence,” as one of his
admirers expresses it, “is magneTTo. ’
Twice he has been concerned in at
tempted revolutions. One was %ery
nearly successful hut both finally
failed through premature exposure.
Irigoyen himself was never arrested
in connection with these attempts. He
di<l not flee. So far as could be ascer
tained, he continued to live in his
home in Buenos Aires.
