Waterville Republicans were jubil-
ant Of the glorious victory won at the
polls on Monday. 1t is no disparage-
ment to those who have served their
party we'll and faithfully in past years
to say that the victory was the work
of the young Republicans Of the city.
This was particularly true in Wards
one and two, where the balance in IA
vor Of the Democrats for the past
four years, was changed into a Re-
publican landslide, but also in Wards
six and seven, where the formidable
Democratic majority was whitfield
down to almost nothing. The workers
were out at o'clock hustling to get
the vote out, and they worked like
beavers the whole day, with only
bite to eat at noon, and some Of the
workers with nothing at all. 1t was
devotion like this that saved the day
and gave a glorious victory for Mr..
Bartlett and the rest Of the ticket. Nor
were the workers in the center Of the
city asleep. They kept the other fell
lows on the hustle from early morn,
and in Wards three four and five
there were some surprises vShen the
votes were counted. The celebration
was the usual noisy but hearty demon
stration. with bondfires on the Haines
lot near the postoffice and at several
other places in the city.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third person
Is troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition of the
body; that the secretion of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snuffs and
vapors do little, if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.
