CHRONOLOGY


1907


Waterville Evening Sentinel started publication on June 22 and suspended Aug. 3.


Waterville Evening Mail suspended publication June 18. The Mail commenced its daily evening issues January 29, 1896.


Hon. William J. Bryan visited Waterville on May 1, and deliv- ered a lecture at the opera house under the auspices of a committee having charge of a lecture course at Colby College. He was enter- tained at the "Gerald" at Fairfield by prominent citizens and by the Elks in this city. The subject of his address was "The Value of an Ideal."


CENSUS


At the annual meeting of the Waterville Board of Trade it was voted that a census of the population of the city be taken in con- nection with the annual school census taken by the Board of Edu- cation.


Eleven thousand five hundred and fifty-five people were found in addition to a considerable number of Armenians, Greeks, and Syrians, an accurate count of whom it was difficult to obtain. Enough were counted, however, to make the total population of the city slightly in excess of twelve thousand.


With the towns of Oakland, Benton, Fairfield, Winslow, China, Vassalboro, and the village of Shawmut connected by trolley it makes Waterville the immediate business center for more than twenty-five thousand people.


ST. JOHN'S DAY


One of the most successful celebrations in the history of the city was that of June 24, 25 and 26, conducted by the Catholic societies in the celebration of St. John's Day. Elaborate and


183


MUNICIPAL HISTORY OF WATERVILLE


carefully prepared plans were made and executed in a brilliant manner. Delegates were present from all the various Maine soci- eties, and during the first two days of the event many important business meetings were held, together with banquets and delight- ful pleasure gatherings. The great parade of the twenty-sixth was one of the finest ever witnessed in Central Maine, and probably more people were in line than in any parade ever held in Maine on a similar occasion. The committee in charge of the affairs were untiring in their efforts, which contributed much towards making the occasion the huge success that it proved to be.


1908


William I. Sterling, candidate of the Prohibition party for member of Congress.


July 3. Cars of the Lewiston, Augusta and Waterville Rail- way Company commenced their regular schedule between Winslow and the villages of North and East Vassalboro.


On July 7, Edgar L. Jones was elected a member of the Demo- cratic National Committee by the delegates from the State of Maine to the Democratic National Convention at Denver, Colorado. Mr. Jones was a delegate to the convention from the Third Con- gressional District.


REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AT BANGOR


At the Republican State Convention held at Bangor on June 30, William T. Haines was defeated for candidate for Governor.


A spirited campaign between Mr. Haines and Bert M. Fer- nald of Poland had been waged resulting in the success of the lat- ter candidate. The delegates of the caucuses in the various cities and towns had in the majority of the cases received instructions as to whom they should cast their ballots for. These being tabulated

CHRONOLOGY


by the various newspapers had foretold the result of the contest before the date of the convention arrived. Although Mr. Haines had a large following in the convention among the delegates he decided, after carefully looking over the ground, to withdraw in the interest of party harmony. After having had his name presented in a brilliant nomination speech by Hon. Herbert M. Heath of Augusta, he obtained the permission of the convention to address them for a few moments, and in a characteristic speech he with- drew his name, and the opposing candidate received the nomination by acclamation.


Waterville Republicans loyally supported Mr. Haines' candi- dacy during the entire campaign and were enthusiastic in their endeavors to secure for him the nomination.


Republican and Democrat alike regretted the result of the convention and were sorry that the Republicans of Maine did not at this time decide to confer the coveted honor upon him, but everyone realizes the uncertainty of politics, and took their disap- pointment philosophically.


Mr. Haines is very prominently connected with Waterville affairs and has the respect and friendship of the entire commun- ity. He has been very successful in his business affairs, both legally and commercially, and his efforts in promoting the best interests of his city are well known and widely appreciated.


COUNTY ELECTION, SEPTEMBER 14


Waterville was represented on the county ticket by five candi- dates for county offices.


On the Republican ticket Colby Getchell was the candidate for Sheriff and Harold E. Cook, for Judge of Probate.


On the Democratic ticket, Charles F. Johnson was a candidate for Senator and Mark J. Bartlett candidate for Clerk of Courts.


185


MUNICIPAL HISTORY OF WATERVILLE


The Democratic County Convention nominated the late Simon S. Brown as the party candidate for Judge of Probate. A vacancy on the ticket was caused by the death of Mr. Brown, which neces- sitated the choosing of a new candidate by the Democratic County Committee. Norman K. Fuller was selected.
