Show PORTUGAL'S 'REPUBLIC," Treating of affairs in unhappy Portugal, Port-ugal, the London Saturday Review remarks: re-marks: "The republican movement is sordid sor-did to the core. The republic conspiracy is the conspiracy of an interested in-terested clique. It is not the movement of a patriotic party goaded to desperation despera-tion by governmental tyranny or pos-sesssed pos-sesssed with a fervor of reform." The. same pa'per says latet-: "The plan of. the new government is to get the anti-clericals to make all the noise they can in the capital, and to attribute to the monarchy all the evils that are due to the general corruption cor-ruption of Portuguese politics. Dr. Braga and his asssociates have somehow some-how to convince the world that their enterprise is the result of a national upheaval against the monarchy and in favor of a republic. Helped by the most corrupt press in the world, now-set now-set free from all restrictions. Dr. 'Braga will be well able to Job up something of a case." |
