The Vasquez Gomez Idea.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 18, 1913:
    The unhappy condition of Mexico is partly explained by Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez in the report of an interview with him by The New York Times correspondent at Havana, printed yesterday. Dr. Gomez seems to be a Mexican statesman of a type too prevalent in that republic. He was a foremost and influential supporter of Madero's revolution against Porfirio Diaz, and the avowed object of that revolution was to put Madero in the Presidential office. Yet Dr. Gomez and his brother were political opponents of Madero, and the brother, Emilio, has proclaimed himself, in a futile way, provisional President. They were both hostile, also, to de la Barra. Now that Madero has been overthrown by Gen.Huerta and Gen. Felix Diaz, the Vasquez Gomez brothers are opposed to the new military leaders.
    In fact the Vasquez Gomez brothers seem to be opposed to the government of Mexico by anybody except the Vasquez Gomez family, and it has been quite clear for some time that Mexico is not anxious to be ruled by that family. Hence there is no hope for Mexico.
