Joseph William Martin, Jr.
Joseph William Martin, Jr. (November 3, 1884 – March 6, 1968) was a Republican Congressman and Speaker of the House from North Attleboro, Massachusetts. He was notably the only Republican to serve as Speaker between 1931 and 1995. He was a "compassionate conservative" who opposed the New Deal and supported the Conservative coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats, especially on opposing labor unions.〔James J. Kenneally, ''A Compassionate Conservative: A Political Biography of Joseph W. Martin, Jr., Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives'' (2003)〕 He lost the role of House Republican leader to an even more conservative Midwesterner.

Joe Martin graduated from North Attleboro High School, where he played shortstop on the school baseball team. He also played semi-professional ball in an intercity league, from which he earned ten dollars per game.〔Joe Martin to Robert J. Donovan, ''My First Fifty Years in Politics,'' p. 24 (McGraw-Hill, 1960), 261 pp.〕 Martin worked for the ''Evening Chronicle'', first as a newspaper delivery boy and then as the managing editor and publisher. In his autobiography entitled ''My First Fifty Years in Politics'', Martin describes the North Attleborough where he was reared:
:I made still more friends as a delivery boy for the North Attleboro ''Evening Chronicle'' . Our world was much smaller and more intimate then than it is now (). The population of the town was only four thousand, and it seemed that everyone knew everyone else. The men and women were more disposed then than they are today to give a young fellow a lift when he was starting out. No one bothers anymore. People are colder, more indifferent than they used to be.〔Martin, ''My First Fifty Years in Politics,'' p. 23〕
Though Martin had intended to attend Dartmouth College, he instead remained with his newspaper work, where his future prospects seemed promising. "I felt that I should keep working and take some of the burden off my parents by helping put my younger brothers through college," noting that he used most of his $750 annual salary as a state senator to defray Edward's expenses at Dartmouth.〔Martin, ''My First Fifty Years in Politics'', pp. 24-25〕
