.MACHADO NEW PRESIDENT
OF PORTUGUESE REPUBLIC
Elected on Third Ballot by Majority
of 13i Of $40 Members
Present.
POPULAR WITH ALL GLASSES
Prominent for Years in Public Life
of His Country, Having Served in
Several Cabinet Positions-Once
Served rs Minister to Washington.

LISBON, August 6 (via Paris, August
O.-Barnardino Machado was elected
by Congress to-day President of the
republic Of Portugal
I, Senor Machado. who was supported
by the two principal parties, was
elected on the third ballot by ma
jority OF 1874 OF the $40 members
present.
The new President is popular with
all classes in Portugal. and, although
large crowds assembled outside the
chamber to await the action of Parlia-
ment. his election generally was con-
sidered certainty.
Senor Machado has been prominent
for years in the public life of Portugal.
having served his country as Premier,
Provisional Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs, Minister of the Interior and min
lister to Brazil. He has been consid-
cred the foremost man in the Republi-
can party, and before the overthrow OF
the monarchy was regarded as the
logical choice of that party for the
presidency. In January, 1905, he was
accused of conspiracy against the
crown, but the charges were never
proved.
When King Manuel II. was de-
throned and the republic proclaimed on
October 5. 1910 after n short rcvolu-
tion, Senior Machado was appointed
Minister of Foreign Affairs in the
Cabinet formed by the provisional gov
ernment. The following year he was
a candidate for the presidency but,
Notwithstanding his prominence. was
defeated by DR.. Manuel Arriaga, whom
he now will succeed. Four months af-
ter his defeat he was appointed min
lister to Brazil In February, 1914. he
was asked to form a new Cabinet, and
was successful in his efforts. but he
and his ministers resigned ten months
later.
The new President who Is sixty-fve
years old. formerly was professor of
philosophy In Coimbre University, but
was ousted because he Joined the anti
clerical movement He is an excellent
speaker. and has been regarded as
strongly pro- British
One Of the interesting stories regard
ing Senior Machado Is that he served
ms Portuguese minister to Washington
In 1900 and 1901 under the name of
Marquis de Santo Thyrso, but was re-
called because he made premature an
nouncement of President McKinley's
death, which resulted in Lisbon send
ing messages of coincidence four or five
days before the President died. After
his recall. according to the story, he
dropped the title, which was of papal
origin. and resumed his family name
The President OF the republic is
