Francisco I Madero, 37th President of Mexico

Francisco I Madero. He was a small, quick moving lawyer with kind eyes: he had his portion of the Madero estates, which he seemed to be dissipating in benevolent experiments - co-operatives, for example. He was a vegetarian, an ascetic, his heart was wrung by the condition of the Mexican People. He was a spiritualist and the Ouija board had told him: Francisco one day you will be president of Mexico': He had just published a sensational book - La Succession Presidential - The Presidential Succession. It dealt with effective suffrage, no re-election - mostly things that had been said long ago by Diaz himself, in the days when the example of Benito Juarez was still strong. But now the news of this man Madero was spread abroad. Village people understood that he lived in the capital of some equidistant place and was married to a probably divine creature called the Constitution. Clearly he was not the same as other city people, whom it was always best to avoid mentioning
