Worked His Way From Teamster ON
Streets of Des M0ines to His
Present Position

F. ]. Alber, of Des Moines, candi-
date for state auditor on the republican

on Friday morning, and his visit was
much enjoyed. Mr.. Alber has been a
resident of the state for forty-two years
and is now serving his third term as
auditor of Polk county. Formerly he
was clerk in the state auditors office
under John l.. Bleakley. Mr.. Albert Is
strictly self.made man; for eighteen
years he was teamster in Des MOines.
and while at that work put in his eve
nings studying. Later he became head
janitOr in the state house, and While
in that. position demonstrated his abil-
ity as an accountant and later secured
a clerkship. Speaking of his candidacy
the Des Moines Capital has the follow
ing to say editOrially:
It. J. Alber, county auditor of Polk
county, is a candidate for the republi,
can nomination for state auditor. He
is making his own campaign through
his own work and the work of his
friends. His work as county auditor Of
Polk county demonstrates that he is
qualified for the office of state auditor.
He Is. a patriot through and through. He
went on the stump for the allies and
there was no distance too great for him
to travel to speak for his adopted coun.
try.
One of Mr.. Alber's sons served in
France and a younger one attempted to
enlist. Mr. Alber came to America at
the age of twelve. or in fact was sent
to America. and was shipped west by
the society devoted to looking after
such orphans. His foster mother still
lives at Decatur, Ill. He has lived In
Polk county forty,two years, and al
ways has been a worker. In his early
manhood he drove a coal wagon. He
was then employed at the state house
He has advanced in intelligence every
year and If placed in the office of state
auditor he will discharge every duty
faithfully. His past work Is a guaran-
tee of his future work.
Polk county has other candidates for
other offices, but Mr.. Alber's candidacy
must stand upon its merits and he is
willing that it shall be so.

A number of people in Bren1er coun'

ence of a crazy man who had escaped
from the asylum at Independence. He
gave his name as Jimmie McCOsky,
which the, hospital authorities said Is
correct. He was invited to stay all
night at farm house and while there
the sheriff was notified and took him to
Waverly. The fellow had made his
escape on Monday evening and had
walked all the distance from Independ-
ence reaching the Bremen neighborhood
Wednesday night. He had walked across
fields and had picked up corn which
evidently had been his subsistence. He
told Sheriff Krause that the red corn,
after the mud had been washed off, was
better eating than the white.
