=**CORRECT!!! GOVERNOR EDWARD MARTIN**=

Governor Martin became governor in 1943 and oversaw PA during the major times of the war and ensured that PA would remain the Arsenal of America. Rising production and employment meant increased tax revenues, so Martin was able to reduce taxes to help all Pennsylvanians. During the war, Pennsylvania also authorized absentee ballots for her soldiers. Aided by a Republican-controlled State House, Martin effectively guided the Commonwealth through the remainder of the world conflict and led it through demobilization of the armed forces and the reconversion to a peacetime economy.
