The most enthusiastic meeting held by
WaterviIle Republicans for long time
took place Monday evening in the Edith
building. It was not a gathering OF pol
iticians nor of those who are members
Of ward committees. but one Of repre-
sentative business men who talked about
way to obtain business administration
at the polls next Monday.
About 80 were present and the need Of
a strong organization to accomplish the
desired end was one OF the principal
themes taken up. Reports were heard
from men interested in the various
wards and it was discovered that many
who heretofore displayed but little inter
est in city political affairs. were now
hard at work in assisting the ward and
city committees.
Patterson Chairman
At the opening OF the meeting Ralph
J. Patterson was chosen chairman and
F. D. McAlary secretary. While there
was nothing definite in the way Of plans
OF organization. ways and means were
quickly suggested. Among those was an
appeal to all Republican voters to notify
the ward committees OF changes among
voters in the wards, SO that the COM
mittees might go before the board of reg
istration and help the representatives Of
the party before that board in clearing
away any dead wood that might be on
the lists and to see that all voters who
are DESTROYS Of clean business admin
istration were properly listed.
Bartlett Speaks
Hon. Martin F. Bartlett, the Republi-
can candidate for mayor of Waterville,
urged enthusiasm among the members
of the party. He called attention to the
increase in the city debt of $4,000 during
the past year and on other matters Of
city finance that directly touched the
interests of the Cit ems.

 The Orr home on Highland avenue was beautifully festooned with ferns, palms and smilax, and this greenery blended prettily with yellow chrysanthemums in the living room, while in the parlor large quantities of pink chrysanthemums were employed in an effective manner. Here Mrs. Orr and her two lovely daughters, Miss Marian Orr and Miss Edith Orr, re- ceived several hundred matrons and girls. The hostess wore a handsome reception gown of blue chiffon, embroidered in pearls, over white satin, the honoree was becomingly gowned in white tulle over white satin beautifully trimmed in crys- tai bands, and Miss Edith Orr's costume was of kings blue crepe with sequin overdress.
