Smartt

Thomas William

An Irishman by birth, and trained for the medical profession, which he abandoned to take a more prominent role in Colonial polities. He was formerly a political adherent of Sir Gordon Sprigg, whose Ministry he joined from May to Oct, 1895, as Colonial Secretary; afterwards in June, 1900, becoming Commissioner of Public Works in Sir Gordon Sprigg's fourth Administration. Ever a staunch Progressive, he seceded from the Govt, on the Suspension movement, taking with him the main body of the Progressive party. Dr Smartt then for a long time bore the brunt of the hard work on behalf of the Progressives until, in June, 1908, Dr Jameson became the recognised leader of the party. In the general election in Feb, 1904, Dr Smartt defeated Sir Gordon Sprigg at East London (Cape Colony), and took office under Dr Jameson as Commissioner for Crown Lands and Public Works in the same month. Dr Smartt is a capable administrator and a fluent speaker.
