to the country the same man who in 1883 from Tegulcilapa who was very busy with his
growing clientele but did not remember business when he thought of Cuba made the
decisión to choose his specialty but always subordinating it to the needs of revolutionary
movements. Thoughout the periodo of the North American occupation and later in the
neocolonial Republic, he maintained firm patriotic convictions, continuously supporting the
best and most progressive causes, outlining annexationist positions, and even supporting
the socialist state that emerged in Russiain the struggle to organize the future Republic,

candidate for vice president in 1908 but for the sake of the union he favored the candidacy
that is, he is not before the corrupción of the government of José Miguel Gómez distanced
himself from.

Publicly i raise its rejection to the assemblies of parties where the candidates are
negotiated at all levels to its undemocratic carácter raised the need for people to teach
who to point to candidates. He had a transparent perception of problems of the working

their right to vote the protection of the child to the elderly old man defended the Soviet
educational system advocated a law of mínimum daily work accidents and regulation of
working hours. He demanded legislation to prevent the transfer of land to Ferronia hands.

nomination by liberal part for the elections of 1912 and later having supported up to there it
is as a presidential candidate after having criticized him your environment for the
postulation he reduced credit and Prestige refused to ask for a North American control of
the elections of 1912 Although the conservatives talked Will win in 1916 being a high figure
within the liberal party supporting the conservative Menocal against liberal Zayas his
adversary interest Although he had previously declared the re election Inmoral. This was a
detrimental end to his growth for his credit and Prestige but he only did wath he believed to
be better or less more or less bad for the country. Your public attitudes were radicalized,
praise initiated to the ideas and Works of Marx and Engels largely through his teacher and
Friends and already familiar and sympathetic to them be celebrated the Triumph of the
October Revolution in 1917becoming a car if he is of its educational system to the point of

Friends of Russia, but he did not express his solidarity support to the Soviet Union. Before,
together with Aldereguia, he had made a collection of mony, wich when they changed the

first students congress in 1923 and in the founding of the José Martí Ppular university in
1926, he is elected member of the Cuban Academy of Sciences and the Obtetrics Society
of France.
In 1932, once again, his personal disinterest was manifested when he rejected the
presidency of the conservative party, finally saying withdraw from politics to dedícate
himself entirely to the medical and sugar profession at the University of Havana, work that
deserved the respecto f the student body and other sectors of the society that had him as
a champion of honesty for how many his critizen conduct in war and in peace was
impeccable his last public activity was his aparticipation in the reception and surveillance
of ashes of Mella.
