Joseph William Martin Jr. (November 3, 1884 – March 6, 1968) was an American Republican politician who served as the 44th speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1947 to 1949 and 1953 to 1955. He represented a House district centered on his hometown of North Attleborough, Massachusetts, from 1925 to 1967 and was the leader of House Republicans from 1939 until 1959, when he was ousted from leadership after the party's disastrous losses in the 1958 elections.

He was a "compassionate conservative" who opposed the New Deal and supported the conservative coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats.This is part of a large collection of autographs that I will be listing over the next couple of days.
