NEW YORK, August 25-Can the B,werv hc iIarvardizcd and can ropnr gentleman fresh from the classic shade. of olI Cambridge supplant Big Tim sullivan, the Tammany potcn. tate. as Czar of the east side! These Ale questions that are being seriously considered in that turbulent quarter ,hesc days. !. Bricc Gordon Rinc. lari. a young Harvard man. who has ,skcn up his residence on the east .de. thinks they can be answered in ,be affirmative. and he is making the fr.t move toward the dccapitation of "Big Tim" by going after the Re. pnbiuu leadership of "Dc Thoid" as. amhly district. Big Tim bailiwick. The prcson, Republican leader is "Jimmy" March. March was chris tened tiacomo Maggie. and up to n year or so ago was one of Big Tins chief Democratic licutcnants. But Hr Tim decided that as the district vas his property hc must control inc Republican, leadership as well ns that of Iii. own party. So Maggie changed hi, unmc and his politics. and soon eap,uro,l the Republican post. That is Inc way politics arc run on the Bowery. and besides the big Republican bosses were complacent. The district was admitted Io bc Big Tins property. But Dow Rinehart is giving the Sullivan dummy hard fight. He Is what the Bowcry calls "good mixer,' and a "spor The fact that he knows several languages helps him to make friends with ihc heterogeneous popula ,iop. N first the Bowery laughed at him. James B. Reynolds. co-auihor of the Ncil Reynolds Packingtown re- por', i- working with him. and NIT. Parsons inc reform president of the Republican county committee. stands by him. All the resources of the Sul' lvan ,lan and inc machine element in ihc Republican organization are pi'tcd against him.
 Since MT. Rinehart opened his head quarters ai the Capitol hotel, in the heart of the Bowcry, he hns discovered that thc east side is fairly swarming with gentlemen who nre willing to ad' mi without coaxing that they also are Harvard men. They nre scarcely of the accepted Harvard type, for latter cd, beer stained clothes and rubicond noses are their prominent characteris' lies. Also they are without cxccp- ,ion in need of pccuniary aid. At first they usually solicit Mir. Rinehart for slO for their starving families, and hicr cypress willingness to compro' mise on five cents for n schooner of Deer Among the prominent Bowery gentlemen who have con6'icd to Mir. Rinrhart that Harvard is their alma mater are Mir. Trailing Arbutus Biggic Donovan, class of '9l; Mir. Mike the Bite, class of '9s; Mir. Dash Me Shoes c'arty, of President Roosevelt 's class and Mir. The Dog Is Dead Con Ian. class of '7s. The votes of the -Four Ply club. the East Side Coffee Coolers, the Half Mile Republican as 'oelation, and similar organizations have hccn offered to MT. 'Rinehart by Harvard men" af this type. MT. Rinehart, however, simply gives his 'mportunate callers the ''g'ad hand' and pleasant smile. And that smile is winning the Bowery. MT. hnehart, by the way, has a good pre- sedent for success. Not many years ago a young Harvard mau entered pol 'lics in n crowded district in New York, and soon had the Tammany bosses on 'he mn. His name was Theodore Roosevelt, and he Is now taking great interest in Mir. Rinehart's $ fight.
