He was first elected to Parliament at the Hants riding in the 1921 general election after an unsuccessful campaign there in the 1917 election as a Laurier Liberal. After completing his only term, the 14th Canadian Parliament, Martell left federal politics and did not seek re-election in the 1925 vote. He died of a stroke in Halifax on 24 August 1962.[2]
