Roberto Noble was an Argentine politician, journalist and publisher, perhaps best known for having founded Clarin, long Argentina's leading newsdaily and the most or second-most circulated in the Spanish-speaking world.
These accomplishments brought him to the attention of the president of the lower house of Congress, Manuel Fresco, who appointed Noble second vice-president of the body. Elected governor of the Province of Buenos Aires in November, 1935, on the Corcordance ticket through fraud, as many Concordance lawmakers were during the "Infamous Decade," Fresco initiated a number of needed housing and highway projects, among other public works. He appointed Noble minister of government, a prominent post which drew ire from Fresco's colleagues within the party. Noble's encouragement of the governor's relatively progressive social policy (particularly land reform) also convinced many in the Concordance that Fresco had clear presidential ambitions. Forcing Noble to resign his post and Fresco to step aside, the party rigged the 1940 elections in favor of a staunchly reactionary candidate, Alberto Barcelo.Walter, Richard.
