1900

Sartono (5 August 1900 – 15 October 1968) was an Indonesian politician and lawyer who served as the first speaker of the People's Representative Council (DPR) from 1950 until 1960.

Born to a noble ethnic-Javanese family, Sartono studied law at Leiden University.

During his studies, he joined the Perhimpoenan Indonesia association and became an advocate for Indonesian independence.

Sartono was born in Wonogiri, near what is today Surakarta, on 5 August 1900.

Born to a noble ethnic-Javanese family, he was the second oldest of seven children.

His father, Raden Mas Martodikarjo, was a civil servant who was a descendant of Prince Mangkunegara II.

His mother was a noblewomen, who was a descendant of Prince Mangkunegara III.

In 1906, he left Wonogiri and began his education at the Europeesche Lagere School in Surakarta, a school only for children of noble descent.

1913

There, he graduated in 1913, with the highest grade.

After graduating, he was accepted to the Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs (MULO) school also in Surakarta.

Sartono spent three years in MULO, from 1913 until 1916, and after graduating, he left for Batavia.

In Batavia, he entered the School tot Opleiding voor Inlandsche Rechtskundigen, later known as the Rechts School, a law institute for the native Indonesian nobility.

At Rechts School, he joined the Tri Koro Dharmo organization, a youth organization of Budi Utomo, which later evolved into Jong Java.

1921

In 1921, he passed in his law examination, and received the title of "rechtskundige" (jurist).

After graduating, he became a civil servant at the District Court in Surakarta for around six months.

1922

In September 1922, Sartono left his job as a civil servant, and departed to the Netherlands, to study for a doctorate in law at Leiden University, along with his former classmate Iwa Koesoemasoemantri.

The pair departed from Surakarta to the port of Tanjung Priok, the main hub for transportation from the colony to Europe.

They arrived in Genoa, Italy, before taking the train to the Netherlands.

During his studies in Leiden, he joined the Perhimpoenan Indonesia association, and became the associations secretary from 1922 until 1925.

1927

After graduating, he opened a law practice and helped found the Indonesian National Party (PNI) in 1927.

1929

When several party leaders were arrested by the colonial government in 1929, he became one of their defense lawyers and unsuccessfully argued for their acquittal.

Following the arrest of its leaders, PNI became paralyzed and the party subsequently suspended its activities.

In its place, Sartono founded a new political party, Partindo, which sought to achieve independence through non-cooperation and mass action.

1936

Partindo lasted until 1936, when it decided to dissolve itself.

After Partindo's dissolution, Sartono helped found another party, Gerindo, which advocated for the creation of an Indonesian parliament.

1942

Following the Japanese invasion of the colony in 1942, Sartono briefly left politics, before returning to serve as the general-secretary of a Japan-founded labor organization, Putera, in 1943.

He subsequently served in several positions during the Japanese occupation period, including as a member of the Central Advisory Council and Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence.

1945

After the proclamation of Indonesian independence in 1945, he was appointed one of five ministers of state in the Presidential Cabinet by Sukarno.

As minister, Sartono was dispatched to the Yogyakarta Sultanate and Surakarta Sunanate to shore up support for the nationalist government.

During the subsequent national revolution, he became a member of the Central Indonesian National Committee (KNIP), the provisional legislature, and served in the KNIP's working body, which ran the legislature's day-to-day affairs.

1950

1951

Following the fall of Mohammad Natsir's Cabinet in 1951, Sartono was appointed formateur by Sukarno.

His efforts were thwarted due to policy differences between the two largest parties, the PNI and Masyumi Party, and he returned his mandate after less than a month.

1956

Following Mohammad Hatta's resignation from the vice presidency in 1956, Sartono was legally second in the presidential line of succession and he conducted presidential duties on multiple occasions.

1960

In 1960, the DPR was suspended by Sukarno as it rejected the government’s budget.

Sartono was deeply embittered by the DPR's suspension, and he subsequently resigned from the DPR and did not take public office for several years.

1962

In 1962, Sartono accepted an offer by Sukarno to serve as the deputy chairman of the Supreme Advisory Council (DPA).

1968

His time in the body "confused and irritated him," and he eventually resigned from the DPA in 1968.

He died in Jakarta, on 15 October 1968, and was buried at Astana Bibis Luhur, Surakarta.
