| | Eloy Alfaro Liberalism Ecuador (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | Alfaro was the antithesis of Moreno, and their differences were further accentuated by their historical juxtaposition. |
 | | Most remember Alfaro as the central figure in the Liberal Revolution, though, in reality, he grudgingly shared control of the PLR with General Leónidas Plaza Gutiérrez and the two vied for the party's leadership until Alfaro's death at the hands of a Plaza-instigated mob. |
 | | After Alfaro's murder, Plaza served a second presidential term, however, by this point the coastal agricultural and banking interests, popularly known as la Argolla ("the Ring"), controlled the PLR more than Plaza did. |
