Two Aging House Speakers to Lead Congression Conventions
Washington July 27 Two men alike will chair the Democratic and Republican conventions this year as Sam Rayburn and Joseph Martin Jr prepare to steer party affairs. Rayburn faces a tougher task guiding a divided Democratic convention in Texas and Massachusetts, while Martin expects an easier path at the Republican gathering. Both men have long records as Speakers and chairmanships, and both rose from humble roots in Texas and Massachusetts.
