bear the blame for many republican
measures, the carrying out of which
was intrusted to him.
For many years after, although he
had been minister of finance and
justice In several cabinets, he was not
welcome at the royal palace. His
name was too closely linked with the
overthrow Of the monarchial regime.
In 1902, invited by Premier Sagasta
to accept the portofolio of agriculture,
he introduced into parliamentary life

his attitude. Canalejas demanded
that the new cabinet should meet
