Julio Argentino Roca was elected president for a second period. Background Having obtained the aging Luis Sáenz Peña's resignation in favor of Vice President José Evaristo Uriburu (who was good stead with both Roca and Mitre), Roca once again carried the PAN standard in 1898. The UCR, which had lost its founder, Leandro Alem, to suicide in 1896, was divided between those who backed Senator Bernardo de Irigoyen's drive to form coalitions with more conservative parties, and those who supported the party's new leader, Hipólito Yrigoyen (who boycotted this and future "election songs" – establishing what later became known as the UCR's "break before bending" policy).Levene, Ricardo. A History of Argentina. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1937. Public debate was heated on the eve of the January 30 elections to a constitutional assembly entrusted to increase the number of congressmen and cabinet members, as well before the April 10, 1898, general election. The electoral college yielded no surprises, though, and Roca was returned to the presidency.Todo Argentina: 1898 https://web.archive.org/web/20171124054233/http://www.todo-argentina.net/historia/gen80/Roca(1898-1904)/1898.html 2017-11-24 es Results President Julio Argentino Roca National Autonomist Party 218 Bartolomé Mitre National Civic Union 38 300 By province Province Roca Mitre Buenos Aires City 22 13 Buenos Aires 23 18 Catamarca 10 Córdoba 24 Corrientes 7 7 Entre Ríos 20 Jujuy 8 La Rioja 8 Mendoza 11 Salta 9 San Juan 8 San Luis 9 Santa Fe 28 Santiago del Estero 14 Tucumán 17 Total 218 38 Vice president Norberto Quirno Costa National Autonomist Party 217 Juan Eusebio Torrent es National Civic Union 23 Valentín Virasoro es Liberal Party of Corrientes 7 Julio Argentino Roca National Autonomist Party 6 Lino D.
