It is said that he was the youngest candidate ever admitted to practice law in any court of record in the United States. He began the practice when fifteen years old, being regularly admitted two years later. He is the author of a book entitled "Labor as Money," and has frequently written for the Arena and other publications of note. Although not a graduate of any college, he is possessed of a liberal education, acquired by private devotion to study, self-improvement, and a wide range of reading. He was married February 5, 1889, to Miss Hettie Skeen at Red Cloud, Nebraska, and they have one child, an interesting little son. Mr. Yeiser has written and will soon publish a work under the suggestive, and to some people, startling title of "The Abolition of Both Public and Private Property in Land and Occupancy Rights." He was elected on the fusion ticket, but the certificate was delivered to his opponent, and he secured his seat in the house after a protracted contest. He is a member of the committees on judiciary, militia, and constitutional amendments.
