The Thomas County Democrat Thomas County Thursday October 6, 1887 For County Clerk--W.W. Smith. In presenting Mr. Smith for the suffrage of the people, we are confident that he posesses the qualifications that win. He is a homesteader, possessing an education above the average; has a clean record as a soldier in the union army, is a firm supporter of the democratic cause and ticket, and possesses the confidence of those who know him best, and we know of no better test for true manhood and honest dealing. Our acquaintance with Mr. Smith does not extend over any great period of time, but our relations have been hearty and cordial, and we are proud to place his name and record in the field as a democratic color bearer.
