This rough draft of a letter (apparently sent) is Haskell's appeal to San Francisco Mayor Schmitz to be appointed to the Election Commission to fill its Socialist Party seat. Haskell outlines his qualifications, voting record, associations and personal references, national and international, and lists his political and trade union activities. He includes the text of a letter from Abe Ruef, thanking Haskell for his support of Schmitz's 1905 campaign. He gives particulars of his birth and family, disavows typical vices, and acknowledges his enemies and alliances.
