Martin Henry Glynn (September 27, 1871 - December 14, 1924) was a Democratic Governor of New York. He was the first Roman Catholic to serve as the head of government of what was then the United State's largest state.

Glynn was born in Valatie, New York in 1871. He was a graduate of Fordham University and Albany Law School, and worked for many years as a reporter and editor of the Albany Times-Union daily newspaper. Glynn served as a United States Congressman (representative), New York State Comptroller, and Lieutenant Governor of New York. He served as Governor from 1913 to December 1914, after William Sulzer, the incumbent, was impeached. He was the first Catholic New York governor, and the only governor who was a long-time resident of Albany, New York. Glynn committed suicide in 1924, after having had suffered from chronic back pain throughout his adult life.^[1]

[edit] The Crucifixion of Jews Must Stop!

The Crucifixion of Jews Must Stop! is an article by Glynn. It appeared in the October 31, 1919 issue of The American Hebrew. Prophetically, at this early date, Glynn already uses the noun "holocaust": "In this threatened holocaust of human life ..." Glynn also claimed that "six million Jewish men and women are starving across the seas".^{[2] [3]}
