This token appears to be one giving away for votes. The front has a horseshoe, 4-leaf clover, wishbone, and a swastika with "Membership Emblem of the Don't Worry Club". On the back it reads; "Will Appreciate Your Vote and Influence" "J.W. Clift" "Candidate for County Trustee". After doing some research on the net. I found the following;

"CLIFT, Capt. James Warren Co. H, 36TN
Born 1838 in Soddy, he was one of the two sons of William and Nancy A. Clift of Soddy who fought for the Confederacy. Two other sons, Joseph Clift and Robert Brooks Clift, joined their father in going with the Union. J.W. Clift at age 17 volunteered for Mexican War service and because of his fluency in Spanish served as an interpreter. At the outbreak of the Civil War he raised Co. H and was elected Capt. Later he would serve on the regimental staff. On Aug. 31, 1862, he enl. in Clark's Independent Cav. Co. at Chattanooga. Married Mary Jane McKenzie. After the war he returned home and farmed, but eventually became involved in management of the Soddy Coal Company and served in the Tennessee legislature. Presby. Married (1) Miss McKenzie (1849), (2) Tipton Bradford (1875). Clift died March 8, 1910 at his home in Soddy."
