the welfare of Waterville. and am willing
to do what l can to aid its progress.
Waterville is a beautiful and thriving
city, none In the State more So Nature
has showered upon it her fullest riches,
and given 1t special endowment Of nat
ural beauty.
Our population steadily increases, while
in many municipalities we see it
diminish.
When the old town Of Waterville was
divided, few years ago. the population
of it's whole area was less than 5000. Now
our part Of it is more than 5000, and all
of 1t more than 10, 900. and more than the
population of any city in the valley Of the
Kennebec.
The city is the natural business centre
of $4,000. That number of people do a
practical portion Of their business here
For these people it is u labor centre, a
banking centre, a railroad center, man
ufacturipg centre, and as an educational
centre it is not limited To New England
even. These are all important factors of
a progressive city.
If our predecessors Of 25 wears ago could
be brought back and + &C d without ex-
PLANTATION In the streets of the city, they
would doubt their sanity.
Granite pavements would deafen them,
asphalt amaze them, electric lights blind
them, city water, city sewers and electric
railroad would make them wish TO come
back and live life over again

The city has grown greater and better
| within Il few years
We have large and prosperous industries
as the basis of this growth. The manu-
features of Waterylle are the foundation
upon which the new and greater Water
Vile has been built; but we cannot EXPECT
10 hold our pre-eminence and continue
the uprising tide Of development with
out additional industries. We need some
thing further to employ both capital and
labor.
10 the march of events there are NUM-
cipal problems to be solved, in order to
carry our city to its natural sweep of DOS
sibilities
1t is impossible that they be solved
within party lines, handicapped by party
divisions, but they can be solved by the
united voice of the people, which strikes
deeper than any political party can reach
There are considerations of which parti-
sanshlp can take but little account, be-
cause partisanship is narrow and selfish.
u the city's advance is checked by NUM-.
cipsl politics, and it's business affairs kept
In an active state Of eruption, let us out
grow them. Let US create a greater and
better Waterville. l would rather see a
greater Waterville than See a fieeting
party victory in municipal affairs.
q city affairs we are all square part
ners, and where the city welfare is con-
cerned, local politics may we'll be forgot
ten and the gospel of municipal righteous
ness be proclaimed
We must practice economy The tax
PAYERS demand an economical government
and they are entitled to have it.
We are willing to pay taxes, but we
want the city treasury properly guarded.
and the peoples money expended within
the lines of good economy. We want th.
city to get q dollars worth for dollar
paid out.

Will cooperate with you in doing what
can to promote the city's interests.
