Emeterio de la Garza, Jr. (5 April 1873 – 1928) was a Mexican conservative politician and businessman who served as a federal congressman in the Chamber of Deputies and as Special Representative of President Victoriano Huerta in Washington, D.C.[2][1]
Biography
He was born on 5 April 1873.
Huerta — the army general who assumed control of the country following a coup d'état against the democratically-elected president, Francisco I. Madero— tried to avoid a military intervention by the United States in 1913, so he sent De la Garza to negotiate with business leaders and the Wilson administration.[3]
Aside from his political and diplomatic duties, De la Garza edited La Patria newspaper, served as president of the New York, Mobile and Mexico Steamship Line and was a shareholder of the International Bank and Trust Company of Mexico City.[4]
He died in 1928.
