Or. Murphree, 6ryan's candh

BY ELMER W. McCREARY,
International News Rorytce.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. Jan. 1S.-
Evolution Of man-what William
Jennings Bryan scornfully terms
shat monkey business''-as a potent
issue in a Presidential campaignl
This doomed as a bare possibility
today when DR.. A. A. Murphree,
Bryan's selection for President, bit
terly denounced in an interview
with International News Service
the teaching Of evolution in schools,
colleges and universities over the
United States. DR.. Murphree Is
president of the University of
Florida.
"I absolutely refuse to believe
that I sprang from a monkey" he
declared bluntly, land evolution is
far too dangerous a subject to teach
young college students while their
minds are in that plastic stage.
Opposed For Colleges.
''They might be greatly influ.
enced by this hypothesis, thereby
having their faith in the eternal
truth of the divine creation shaken,
1.-THE theory was advanced to &C.
count for the presence of man on
earth; nothing else. It most certain
ly has no place in college courses
and lectures"
DR.. Murphree said he had never
talked with his political sponsor,
the Commoner, on the subject, but
characterized Bryan as "one of the
best posted and most devout Chris
tan gentlemen in America-and, 1"
he added, further, "a true friend
to the Democratic party"
Wants Nation ''Dry."
On other questions, DR.. Murphree
was found to be Of practically the
same opinion as Colonel Bryan. He
drew no half way marks as far as
prohibition is concerned, but came
out flat footed for q "dry, nation
and rigid enforcement Of the
Eighteenth Amendment" He has
taken an active part in fighting
wet forces over Florida.

Gated with reservations.

Good Chance for Both.
Either party has an excellent
chance Of electing the President,
although the Republicans are more
strongly entrenched."
DR.. Jordan described President
Coolidge as q man Of ordinary

to realize his lack Of intellectual
brilliancy and keeps his mouth shut.
President Coolidge is a safe
man for all that. and one who
probably will direct the United
