sentences:  Failing to beat Tillman at the state Democratic convention, Haskell led a straightout Democratic ticket in the general election and even appealed for votes from blacks and Republicans.Many in the state refused to vote for anyone other than the official Democratic candidate out of fear of giving Republicans another chance at state government and thus the Haskell ticket fared poorly.Until his death on April 13, 1910, Haskell was serving as the vice president of National Loan & Exchange Bank of Columbia.
