Sumario:This paper aims to analyze the disputes over the senses assigned to the revolution of 1905 in the framework of the political struggles and the articulation of the “Lencinista” party identity in Mendoza, between 1918 and 1924. From the approach of a partial publication of a book -whose authorship was attributed to José Néstor Lencinas-, a journalistic chronicle and a subsequent testimony, we tries to elucidate the interpretations made of the historical episode by different actors from the political-partisan spectrum, its importance as a founding myth for the “UCR” national party and the significance that the “Lencinista” faction gave it by establishing itself as a local political party. Likewise, it seeks to frame such disputes in the course of expanded democracy at the provincial level and analyze the shifts in meaning operated in the story of “Lencinismo” fromthe perspective of the political uses of the past.
