SPEAKING NEXT MONDAY.
Senator Leroy Percy and State Senator
John 1. Hebron Expected to
Deliver Addresses.

Senator Leroy Percy is expected
to be in Brookhaven next Monday,
when court meets. to make an ad-
dress on the political issues Of the
day and present to the voters Of
Lincoln county his candidacy for
re-election to the United States
Senate. Senator Percy has never
spoken in Lincoln county before,
and is unknown to all but few OF
our people. except through the
political and newspaper notoriety
given him since last December; and
while this county is overwhelming
Iy for Vardaman and the great
majority of our people do not en-
dorse the senatorial candidate S
trust and secret ballot caucus
tactics by which be and those who
entered into this combine with
him at last defeated Vardaman and
the peoples choice by a small ma
jority in the caucus, The Leader
hopes and believes the people of
Lincoln county will give Mr.. Percy
a respectful and courteous hearing
next Monday. We bespeak for him
every courtesy due a stranger and
| the high office he now holds.
| State Senator John L. Hebron,
president pro TEN of the Mississip-
Ipi Senate, has accepted the invita-
tion of Lincoln county friends to
also deliver a political address in
Brookhaven on next Monday. Sen
ator Hebron, by the way, is a
countynlan of Senator Percy, hav-
ing served as State Senator from
Washington county the last two
terms, and while it is not expected
or intended that these two distin-
guished gentlemen shall enter into
any joint discussion, not being
candidates for the same Office, they
differ quite widely in regard to
some of their views concerning
the secret ballot caucus, and per-
sons who hear them both will get
the advantage of both viewpoints.
Last winter after Senator Nc
Laurin's death, Senator Hebron
went down to Jackson when the
Legislature met with resolutions
already prepared providing for the
Legislature to submit the nomina-
tion of successor to Senator Nc
Laurin to primary election by
the people; but when he got there
he discovered that the plans for
forming a candidates. combine
against Vardaman and organizing
the secret ballot caucus had pro-
ceeded SO far, such an effort was
vain. and it was accordingly aban-
doned.

goods had been manufactured for

The navy department had about
all the men it could use at the

have been under instructions to
accept only applicants of the

have been more rigid than ever,

conditions have been rejected. In
addition there has been nothing
this year to attract men to the
