DEATH CLAIMS
OPPONENT OF
MONKEY THEORY
Ry "Uited Press Leased Wire

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. ;.
! Governor Austin Pcay of Tennessee
, famous as an advocate OF statutes
forhidding teaching of evolution
dcd suddenly last night following
a cerebral hemorrhagc.
The governorship of Tennessee tol
Pcay 5 uneXpired term fell to II. II
Horton. president of the senate.
Although governor Peav had been
prominent in Tennessee politics for
20 wears. he first attracted nationa
attention when he advocated and
signed bill passed by the Tonnes
see legislature which prohibited
teaching in public schools the theory
that man is aScended from lower
animals.
The statute provided penalty of
a fine or Imprisonment for viola
ton. 1t became a matter of nation
al and international debate. and
Governor Peay, a college graduate
and member of the protestant church
was called upon to defend it.
John T. Scopes, Dayton, Tenn,
school teacher, used a text book in
which Il version of the Darwinian
theory of the origin of man was
stated. He was arrested and tried.
The Scopes trial. in the little
town of Dayton two years ago be-
came a battle of the forces of rc-
lisious fundamentalism, led by Aus
tin Peay, against modernism as re-
resented by the American Civil Lib
critics union.
The late William j. Bryan aided
Dayton prosecutors in defending the
statute. Clarence Darrow, famous
criminal lawyer, was chief counsel
fer Scopes.
The fundamentalists won the bat
tie. Governor Peay' 5 stand was
popular in Tennessee, and he was
reelected.
Peay was born in 1876 in Chris,
tian County, Kentucky.
When he was only % Peay WAS
elected to the state senate. There-
after he was active in Democratic
politics until 1922 when he was first
elected governor. He was reelected
in 1924 and again in l926-thc only
Tennessee governor since the Civil
:. ar to serve three terms.
