Senator LeRoy Percy Speaks at Brandon on Percy Day
United States Senator LeRoy Percy spoke Monday in Brandon before an audience estimated between 750 and 2000 as Circuit court opened and Percy day drew visitors from across the county. The Vicksburg brass band led a parade to school grounds where seats were set under trees for an open air speech. Major Pat Henry introduced Percy who praised the late Senator A J McLaurin and touched on the Rose Hill incident blaming ex-governor Vardaman for the killing. The speech was well received with no incidents, and Percy's supporters called the day a success.
