Encyclopedic overview

Salomon Arvid Achates Lindman (19 September 1862 – 9 December 1936) was a Swedish statesman and naval officer who served as prime minister of Sweden from 1906 to 1911 and again from 1928 to 1930. He was leader of the Allmänna Valmansförbundet (General Electoral League) from 1912 to 1935. He was a member of the Riksdag for 30 years, first of the upper house from 1905 to 1911, and then of the lower house from 1912 to 1935. Referred to as The Admiral (Amiralen), Lindman played a key role in the passage of universal male suffrage and electoral reform.

He was also leader of the Lantmanna and bourgeois Party (Lantmanna- och borgarepartiet; a member party of the AVF) from 1913 to 1935, except for a brief period in 1917 when he was minister for foreign affairs.
