Biography

He married Mary Symons on May 20, 1883.[2] Her father was a Quaker minister.
Career
Haines was a bank clerk in Friend, Nebraska until 1885. He then moved to Richfield, Kansas, and was very successful in the real estate industry. He also served as deputy clerk of court in Morton County and was elected Registrar of Deeds.[3] Haines, W. E. Pierce, and L. H. Cox established a real estate business, W. E.

He served as the Mayor of Boise from 1907 to 1909.[4] He was elected and served as Governor of Idaho from 1913 to 1915.[5] During his administration, a workman's compensation bill was vetoed, and a state board of education was established.
