Biography

Smith was born September 30, 1860. He beat incumbent Mayor "Cowboy" Jim Dahlman in 1918 on a reform ticket aiming to defeat Tom Dennison's political machine, which at that point had run Omaha for at least 15 years. Dennison's displeasure with Smith's moral stance was frequently voiced, and took shape in the Omaha Race Riot of 1919. During that riot Smith was strung up and almost lynched by a mob.

Retrieved 12/28/07.] After being rescued by Omaha Police detectives and taken to Omaha's Ford Hospital, Smith's political will never returned. He died May 21, 1930.
