context_page_description: Nicholas "Nick" Longworth III was an American Republican politician who became Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
  A lawyer by training, he was elected to the Ohio Senate, where he initiated the successful Longworth Act of 1902, regulating the issuance of municipal bonds. As congressman for Ohio's 1st congressional district, he soon became a popular social figure of Washington, and married President Theodore Roosevelt's daughter Alice Lee Roosevelt.

In this post, he exercised powerful leadership, tempered by charm and tact.
