The collection contains correspondence and other campaign material from House races with William E. Dodd, Jr., 1938, and Elizabeth Murray, 1944.

The collection also includes a Verbatim record of the proceedings of the House committtee investigating labor board and Wagner Act. A sizeable portion centers around Smith's retirement in 1966.
