removed with his family 70 lhdldh
Territory He was raised on a farm.
Injured 10 hard work. and attended
the common schools ia the winter.
After he had attained his majority he
taught school and IN the Interim
studied law. and was a reputable and
successful practiclng att rney from
1850 until his removal from that state
about 1901.
He was always consisten demo
crat who took great interest 10 the
principles and success OF the party
and always supported the platform
and tickets OF the party and was an
ardent supporter OF Vim. J. Bryan.
He uniformly opposed special privi-
leges 10 corporations and other Ike

In 1899 Mr.. Haskell was a candi-
date for democratic nomination for
governor OF Ohio He was quite gen
orally supporte din the convention by
the delegates from northwestern
Ohio and solidly BY his own county
and congressional district.
In this connection we quote from
the Putnam County Sentinel. the
Official democratic organ OF this coun-
~. issue Of September eth. 1899, the
] following editorial comment:
NO young man who ever had his
name presented to a state convention.
made a more favorable impression
than Mr. Haskell, and It should be
/ truly gratifying TO him to know how
| high he stands I'm the esteem OF
! thousands OF his fellow democrats In
/ the state Being third in the race OF
seven and all the others well known
| throughout the state. Is certainly
complimentary within itself and Is
evidence that there is undoubtedly n
future for our distinguished citizen
and sterling democrat"
This was fai rstatement OF Mr..
Haskells standing at that time and
we know Of nothing since that date
that would make modification
necessary.
He was always liberal supporter
Of religion and good morals. and was
man of excellent habits. sober and
industrious and of good standing
professionally and as citizen.
d We have the means OF knowing Mr.
Haskell's character and reputation in
this community for many years past
and we know OF nothing In his career
that would make him unworthy OF the
support Of his political party for any
office In this state to which he might
aspire, II he lived here.
