Legal career

On May 28 1903, Haney passed the bar and was admitted to practice law by the Oregon Supreme Court. He began working for William D. Fenton in June, remaining with him for one year. On July 1 1904, Haney was selected to serve as a deputy district attorney for Oregon's fourth judicial district, keeping the position until July 1 1908. A Democrat, he then started a legal partnership with George W. Joseph on that day and remained in private practice until 1918.

During this time, he served as the chairman of the Oregon Democratic State Committee from 1910 to 1915. Previously he had been secretary of the party's county and city committees from 1904 to 1907. In 1918, Haney left private practice to become the United States Attorney for the District of Oregon. Two years later he returned to private practice in Portland, and from 1922 to 1923 he also was the chairperson of the state's parole board. In 1923, he left his legal practice and became a member of the United States Shipping Board, serving until 1926.

In 1926, Haney ran as the Democratic Party nominee for the United States Senate against Frederick Steiwer and Robert N. Stanfield.
