Moutoux, John T. | June 23, 1926 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the favors and disfavors of the anti-evolution law in Tennessee which is being made possible in the race for the Democratic nomination for governor by two proponents and one opponent of the law. The present Governor, Austin Peay, who is running for a third term, and Hill McAlister, State treasurer under both of Peay's administrations, favor retention of the act, while John Randolph Neal, ousted law professor of the University of Tennessee, who was largely responsible for the Scopes case, is running on a platform demanding repeal of the law. The whole issue is based on assessing the sentiment of the voters of the State on the anti-evolution law.
