Mexico Installs a New President
Wilson, Lyle C. | February 19, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

Mexico accomplished a change of administration under circumstances promising more good than evil, greater success than failure, better conditions rather than worse. But it is only a promise. As Emilio Portes Gil departs and Pascual Ortiz Rublo enters the presidential palace, from opposition throats comes the challenging accusation of fraud, duplicity, and murder. In view of Mexican electoral practices, it must be doubted that Vasconcelos himself could have expected election. In their effort to preycat machine control of electoral procedure, the Mexicans have leaned over backward so far that instead of protecting their polling places they have polluted them with good intentions gone wrong.
