Sumario:This article studies the first presidential election of Luis Alberto de Herrera as candidate of the Uruguayan National Party in 1922. At that time his charismatic leadership and popular attraction were in their early days, unlike the characteristic cult of the following years. This work –based on the analysis of their political speeches and the nationalist press– shows how Herrera and the National Party made their electoral propaganda, and although the result was adverse, they garnered a large number of votes, shortening the distances that separated them from their traditional Colorado adversary.
