John Walter Smith (February 5, 1845April 19, 1925), a member of the United States Democratic Party, served the State of Maryland in the United States in several different positions. From 1899–1900, he was a Congressman representing the 1st district of Maryland; from 1900–1904, he was the 44th Governor of Maryland; and from 1908–1921, he was the junior United States Senator of Maryland till November 25, 1912, and thereafter was the senior Senator till March 3, 1921. ==Early life and career==
Smith was born at Snow Hill, Maryland, and attended private schools and Union Academy. His mother died during childbirth, and his father died when he was five. Ephraim King Wilson assumed guardianship of Smith, and raised him. He engaged in the lumber business in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina before becoming president of the First National Bank of Snow Hill and director in many business and financial institutions. Beginning his political career, Smith was elected to the Maryland State Senate in 1889, 1893, and 1897, and served as president of the Senate in 1894. Following the death of U.S. Senator to Maryland Ephraim K. Wilson in 1891, Smith sought to be elected to replace him, but lost nomination to fellow Democrat Charles H. Gibson. He was elected to the 56th Congress in 1898 from the 1st Congressional district of Maryland, but served for less than a year before being unexpectedly nominated for Governor of Maryland by the Democratic State Convention in 1899. Smith was victorious against incumbent governor Lloyd Lowndes, Jr.
