One political cartoon portrays this politician as a country bumpkin packing a guitar into a sack as he heads to the capital. He created federal interventores to ensure obedience to central policies, and called himself the "father of the poor". The Junta Pacificadora swept him into power following an opponent's bogus electoral victory, and his administration saw the "rubber soldiers" consisting of migrants forced to move due to the Washington Accords. Eurico Dutra preceded this man in his most notable office, and his downfall came when he accidentally assassinated an innocent Army major instead of the muckraker Carlos Lacerda. Originally from Rio Grande do Sul, he legalized the candomble dance, and his ascent marked the end of the Old Republic and "coffee with milk" politics. For 10 points, name this part-time President, part-time dictator who established the Estado Novo in his native Brazil.
