Career and Personality Of Man OF the
Hour In Spain.
No doubt the man most Id the
public eye in the present crisis in Spain
between the government and the Vat
lean is Jose Canalejas, King Alfonsos
prime minister While little known in
this country. this Is not the first time
that he has attracted the attention of
the political world. He has been in
public life for over thirty-five years. A
Woodworking student and a facile
speaker, he made his first bow before
the public at the Academy of Jurispru-
dence In Madrid. where he delivered a
course of lectures at the age of eight
cen. At nineteen he addressed polit-
ical meetings in the large cities and
scored a success, due probably as much
to his youthful enthusiasm as to the
import Of his utterances Since then he
has soared high in politics and is the
founder of the Radical party. Alfonso
regards him as his ablest adviser.
