| Sumario: | Towards 1914, led by some relevant politicians, a group of people from the National Territory of La Pampa launched a campaign for its recognition as a new argentine province. According to them, the Territory had all the elements needed to be raised to the condition of an autonomous political unity and thus included among the fourteen existing provinces. These circumstances led some actors to pronounce themselves against the possible raising of the Pampean Territory into a provincial condition. Ángel Ávalos, a publicist born in Corrientes and settled in Córdoba, was one of them. In different publications, Ávalos openly opposed the Pampean provincialists. The aim of this paper is, firstly, to analyze the arguments used by Ávalos to reject the transformation of the Territory into a new province and secondly, to explore the impact of his interventions on the unfolding of events, which was disappointing for the provincialists. Thus, the purpose is to give an account of the interactions between academic and political circles, as well as to evaluate how the diagnoses on the state of the Argentine federalism weighted on the challenge represented by the admission of new provinces. |
