WEKERLE, SANTOR [ALEXANDER] (1848- )

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 500 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WEKERLE, SANTOR [ALEXANDER] (1848- ) , Hungarian statesman, was born on the 14th of November 1848 at Moor, in the comitat of Stuhlweissenburg. After studying law at the university of Budapest he graduated
doctor
  juris. He then entered the government service, and after a period of probation was appointed to a post in the ministry of finance. He still, however, continued an academic career by lecturing on political
economy
  at the university. In 1886
Wekerle
  was elected to the
House
  of Deputies, became in the same year
financial
  secretary of state, and in 1889 succeeded Tisza as minister of finance. He immediately addressed himself to the task of improving the
financial
  position of the country, carried out the conversion of the State loans, and succeeded, for the first time in the history of the Hungarian budget, in avoiding a deficit. In November 1892
Wekerle
  succeeded
Count
  Szapary as premier, though still retaining the
portfolio
  of finance. At the head of a strong government he was enabled, in spite of a powerful opposition of Catholics and Magnates, to carry in 1894 the Civil
Marriage
  Bill. The continued opposition of the clerical party,however, brought about his resignation on the 22nd of December 1894, when he was succeeded by Banffy. On the 1st of January 1897 he was appointed president of the newly created judicial commission at Budapest, and for the next few years held aloof from politics, even under the ex-lex government of Fejervary. On the reconciliation of the king-emperor with the coalition he was therefore selected as the most suitable man to lead the new government, and on the 8th of April 1906 was appointed prime minister, taking at the same time the
portfolio
  of finance. He resigned the premiership on the 27th of April 1909, but was not finally relieved of his office until the formation of the Khuen-Hedervary cabinet on the 17th of January 1910.
