POLITICS IN MEXICO faded letters proclaiming Aleman for the Revolution, the people, The new factor in ’52 was an apoplectic, ambitious, enormously rich ex-general named Miguel Henriquez Guzman. Backed at first by the most disgruntled elements of the Big Business, Farming, Industry, the Old Families, the General was tactically cunning enough \(as soon as he realized that he hadn’t raised the out an Entente Cordiale with Vicente Lombardo Toledano and the extreme left \(maybe the most extraordinary Popular But they’d already shot their combined bolts. Long before election time they had’ practically conceded. The elections of 1952 \(according to the most reliable foreign correspondents on the quil and honest of Mexican history. The good, grayhorse official candidate, Ruiz Cortines, was swept into office on a rough 80 percent of the popular vote \(and then, according to some, rounded on his sponsors by trying to set PRI Is Official Whatever excitement there is in the offing for ’58 now seems to center entirely on the official party, the PRI \(Partido Revoluhas snowballed along into a party that includes explosive elements the U.S. Democrats for all their problems never could dream of reconciling: the various heroes of the mixed-up revolutions who were Zapatistas, Villistas, Carranzistas, Maderistas \(remember there was no one straightforward civil war, North v. South, here, but a thousand guerilla actions, one provincial army versus the other, and the ously Marxist, Trotskyite, Titoist, Bevanist attitudes of a Calles, an Obregon, a Fortes Gil, a Cardenas; followed by the middle-of-the-road to Big Business inclinations of an Avilo Camacho and a Miguel Aleman; and the Harry Arun an-Ike complex of the current President, a potential Lincoln maybe who was never given the historic opportunity for greatness, instead has had mostly to balance a multitude of day-today problems in terms of honesty, decency, economy, efficiency, as against party loyalties. No great statesman or student of history or brilliant parliamentarian or leader; a little guy \(if you can divorce the phrase from j ourbulldoggedly to work at it, lop ping off corruption and waste, balancing books and delegating authority to about as brilliant a cabinet as Mexico has ever had instead of selling the jobs or throwing them to cronies. In the long bloody anarchic history of Mexico, Adolfo Ruiz Cortines, we’d say, has earned himself a solid niche. He has certainly earned himself a say in choosing his successor. \(According to Mexican law a president has only one six-year stamp compromise of 1952 may well have the final word on which candidate the warring factions of PRI put up for ’58, particularly since the choices seem to lie among his own cabinet appointees. Traditionally the PRI unveil their official candidate after months of jockeying, not in smokefilled rooms but rather on the ranging ranches of ex-presidents. Cardenas, the FDR of Mexican politics \(the hero of the oil expropriation and the will still have the big word. \(Presumably he picked Cortines out scouts for the variously interested candidates have been visiting his hacienda for the past year, sipping his vintage tequila and admiring his blooded stock and putting in a John Alden word for their bosses. Ex-President Cardenas and exPresident Aleman, and the current incumbent, have played some poker games, and the fu ture president of Mexico is known at least to these three. The capital newspapers are having a lot of fun trying to find the bean under the right cup. “El Tapadito” a subtle Spanish term which implies the Shrouded One, the Dark Horse, the Secret Choice, the Tappedhas been a major newspaper ‘ headline, a vaudeville joke, subject of popular ballads for weeks. It’s even become a radio commercial: the purveyors of a cheap, rank popular cigarette have a 30-second spiel that is rasped out at least once an hour on all the capital programs. A hoarsely prophetic, Winchellesque voice intones: “Don’t be a Tapadito. Come right out and say your choice in smokes is Elegantes!” Or alternately “El Tapadito smokes Elegantes.” El Tapadito Following the advice of an old newspaper man who has been covering the Mexican front for over twenty years”Don’t go to the politicians; they probably don’t know, and if they do won’t say. Ask the people whose jobs are in jeopardy. The university professors and the artists on various government sinecures. They have to find out whether they will be able to support their families under the new administration”we have made the following book. President Cortines’s first and personal choice, they say, is his paisano, Angel Carbajal, the Secretary of the Interior. Former President La7 4aro Cardenas is said to favor Secretary of Labor Adolfo Lopez Mateos. Ex-President Aleman the first non-general to be elected president of Mexico since the revolution, whose regime was generally considered to be right of center, pro-business, and partial to foreign investmentseems to have lined up with the the-hard left wing of PRI, the old generals, Callistas and Villistas, now represented by Ex-President Portes Gil, perhaps in an attempt to compensate for the charges of corruption that have been levelled against his regime by aligning himself with the group that considers itself the simon-pure standardbearers of the original revolution. Their choice seems to be Gilberto Flores Munoz, the Secretary of Agriculture. Our highbrow advisers dope out the probable outcome this way. Since Carbajal, like his from Veracruz, he has three strikes against him, fireballed by regional jealousy, and may come out soon with a “Sherman state ment” of his unavailability, per haps throwing his support to Ma teos.
