Cardenas and states which deposed regimes unfavorable to him
President Lazaro Cardenas struck swiftly to break the 15-yeas
dictatorial rule of Tomas Garrido Canabal, Mexican Nazi leader in
Tobasco state when he replaced the governor and named a new
state military commandant with orders to see that in approaching
6tate elections there is a chance for all. At the same time, the presi
den sent word to Governor Rafael Villareal of Tamaulipas—be
sieged in his palace at Ciudad Victoria by 9,000 angry pro-Cardenas
agrarians—to quit or be fired. The president’s joint action was
considered a great victory for the 40-year-old chief executive, who
now is undisputed leader of the agrarians and laborites.
