ES-1166B Adolfo Tomás Ruiz ˈrwis koɾˈtines] (
listen); December 30, 1889 – December 3, 1973) was a Mexican politician who served as 47th President of Mexico from 1952 to 1958, as the candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Unlike his predecessor as president Miguel Alemán and his successor Adolfo López Mateos, he had participated in the Mexican Revolution. He was one of the oldest presidents of Mexico, perhaps best remembered for granting women the right to vote in presidential elections and stimulating the Mexican economy during the period known as the Mexican Miracle. Adolfo Ruiz Cortines was born on December 30, 1889, in the state of Veracruz. His parents were Adolfo Ruiz Tejada (1859–1890), the governor of Veracruz at that time, and María Cortines Cotera (1859–1932). Ruiz's father, Adolfo Ruiz Tejada, died when he was young. Then Adolfo was raised and educated by his mother.[1] His mother taught him to read and write at the age of 3. Later, he entered a school directed by Joaquín Jerónimo Díaz and Florencio Veyro. At the age twelve, he attended the Instituto de Veracruz, where he studied accounting. Adolfo Ruiz Cortines pursued his secondary educational studies at the Colegio de los Jesuitas, which was considered the best school in the state of Veracruz. Adolfo learned from his mentors about liberalism, a political principle he would apply during his entire political career. In addition, he acquired his fanatical interest in baseball there. He always wanted to study at university, but circumstances never permitted him to do so. At the age of 16, he was forced to abandon his formal studies. Finding himself the head of his family, he found a job as an accounting assistant at a commercial clothing enterprise to support his relatives. In 1909, Ruiz read the book La sucesión presidencial de 1910 (The Presidential Succession of 1910) published that year by Francisco I. Madero, the leader of the opposition against the presidency of General Díaz. This book motivated Ruiz's interest in politics. In 1910, the Mexican Revolution started and he became influenced by several of its main players such as Pascual Orozco and Francisco Villa. Because of this influence, in 1912 at the age of 23, he moved to Mexico City. During his stay in Mexico City, President Francisco I. Madero was assassinated and General Victoriano Huerta took power. Since Ruiz Cortines was opposed to the Huerta government, considered by a broad group of Mexicans as a usurper, he joined revolutionary forces under the command of Alfredo Robles, a right hand of the revolutionary leader of the Constitutionalist faction, Venustiano Carranza. Robles was in charge of the revolutionary forces in the south and center of Mexico.[1] Ruiz Cortines did see military action in battle, but his main task was as an army paymaster. In 1920, when Carranza was attempting to flee Mexico after the revolt of Sonoran generals Adolfo de la Huerta, Alvaro Obregón, and Plutarco Elías Calles who objected to Carranza's attempt to impose his successor, Carranza took a huge amount of the treasury's gold. His train was captured and the gold was returned to Mexico City, with the young and trusted Ruiz Cortines receiving it. With his background in accounting, a reputation for honesty, and credentials as a revolutionary, there were options open to him in the 1920s. He served in the government's Department of National Statistics; he took classes in statistics from Daniel Cosío Villegas, then a young teacher and later an important historian of Mexico. Ruiz Cortines argued in publications that the Department of National Statistics should be an autonomous agency.[3] In 1935 during the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas, Ruiz Cortines's political career began at age 45, as the director in charge of Mexico City. It was during that time that he met Miguel Alemán Valdés, son of a revolutionary soldier, now a young lawyer who would later become president of Mexico (1946-1952). In 1940, Ruiz Cortines managed the presidential campaign of Cárdenas's choice as successor, Manuel Avila Camacho.[4] Five years later, the president Ávila Camacho designated Alemán as Minister of the Interior (Secretario de Gobernación), a powerful position. Miguel Alemán asked Ruiz to join him as his sub-secretary because of their personal friendship. This position gave Ruiz the opportunity to gain influence within the Institutional Revolutionary Party. After several years, the PRI designated him as candidate for governor of Veracruz.
