Isst night. Everything would ave been
IN ia good if the Hon. Bennett had not con-
sented 10 address the Lincoln Republican
Club on what he did in Congress instead
NJ telling the members what a big man,
mentally, Mr.. j. Brice Gordon Rinehart
vas.
The Hon. william s. Bennett was intro
duced by Chairman Peter Rafferty,, and no
launched his address in with
the spirit of the evening. But speaking Of
Republicanism reminded him Of what the
last Congress had lone and how grateful
New York should be for sending TO that
Assembly men who could be trusted in an
emergency. That led the Congressman
m slip into a discussion of the rate bill in
words Of one syllable for primary pupils
and Italian voters. Elucidation Of this
measure, so interesting to members Of the
Rinehart organization, naturally suggested
a review Of Congressional action on pure
food. skim milk, Genaturalized alcohol and
veterans pensions.
"Wotta hell we care for da pura da food
and for da William Benz" ventured Mr..
Franchetti in comment on the -opportuneness
Of Congressman Bennet's speech after it
had been finally brought to a close. W

Mr.. Franchetti's sentiment was that Of
the majority Only the presence Of some
speakers who dared to sink their personality
in the e~xigencies OF the moment saved
Mr.. Rinehart's opening night from being
an unhappy one.
II is not a large hall which Mr.. Rinehart
has selected to be the headquarters for his
Lincoln Republican Club, and the Jimmy
Marches said last night hat it was a pipe

I'D by enthusiasm what the dimensions
of their meeting place denied to them in
the size Of an audience. On the windows
Of the hall at $50 Blocker street it was an
nounced that within was quartered the
Lincoln Republican Club: Our Choice for
leader, j. Brice Uordon Rinehart," and
inside Of the hall there we're Autographs,
which said: For Leader OF the Third
Assembly District lpicturel J. Brice Gordon

flags and Italian tricolor bunting draped
about the walls.
Frank Hendrick. candidate for the Re-
publican leadership in the Tw~entv-nInCh
was the first speaker He announced that
he was from Harvard and that he had known
Mr.. RinehaTt in college, where he was
always knowna as a square man. The speaker
was sure that Mr.. Rinehart. was known an a
square man in the Third district. Lcheers.l
II he wasn't there would be no Use to wage
the fight against Jimmy March, Ely Quigg,
Benjamin Odell, ct al.
A few words about Mr.. Quigg: Mr..
Quigg was admitted to the bar about two
years ago and now has the most profitable
business in New York city. You will never
see Mr.. Quigg in court. He does not a

seek TO find traces of Mr.. Quigg's profess
-lOnal activity You will be disappointed.
That is the kind Of activity it is Mr., Quigg

The chief contribution Of Mr.. Quigg
and other political lions is their receptivity.
That means taking in something and giving
ont nothing. II you deliver your votes

ended like the lamb who has laid own

Mr.. Hendrick closed by saying that he

After Congressman enn had spoken
Mr.. Rhinehart was introduced by Chairman
Raferty. He was received will prolonged
cheering and many good boys" from the
citizens in the chairs.
Mr.. Rinehart assured the audience that
he was glad to see them and tina he hoped
to shake the hand Of every man before he
passed out Of the door. Then he told his
hearers that the men who had been in con-
trol Of the Third before had sought their own
personal profit and that they had bartered
the votes in their district with men higher
up. These men. Mr.. Rinehart did not hesi-
tate to say. were Lemuel Ely Quigg and
Benjamin r. Odell, who are in politics for
their purses. Speaking in particular OF Mr..
Odell Mr.. Rinehart said:
He is supplying my opponent with the
money which he hopes will carry the dis
tlct, and Odell knows the commercial
value Of the suffrage. Now what hoes
odell want OF this district? What o

After Mr.. Rinehart's speech some stten-
