Bernardino Machado. the recently
elected president Of Portugal. has
been prominent for years in public
life, having served his country as pre-.
mier, provisional minister Of foreign
affairs. minister Of the interior and
minister to Brazil. He has been con.
sidered the foremost man in the re.

the presidency. In January. 1908. he
was accused Of conspiracy against the
crown, but the charges never were
proved.
Senior Machado, who is sixty.fve
years old. formerly was professor OF
philosophy in Coimbra university, but
