Tenn., July 9.—Dayton today settled down to completion of the final. preparations for what hns been termed 1 the battle between fundamentalism and t evolution. «•, I Attorneys, witnesses, newspaper men, [ photographers nnd plain visitors are ar-; living on every incoming tAtn and bus j nnd were greeted by, the monotonous clanging of hammers as carpenters ap-1 plied the flashing touches to concession ' stands springing up in every, alley and Hiring (he sidewalks. An address by IVm. Jennings Bryan at Morgan Springs last night formed the chief topic of conversation' as Dayton inns assembled on street comers ami in the drug stores. Ah expression of his faith in the mod ern jury system, and a discussion of what he termed an attempt by minority of scinetists to force their views on scien tific lines upon the children of the ma jority formed the principal themes of Mr. Bryan in his address. , Some of the city papers have ridiculed the idea of trying a scientific question be fore a jury, he aaid, launching into a de fense of the jury system. It would not be possible or even wise to try auch a case before a jury of scientists, he said. Pointing out that no state in the un ion requires an educational qualification for a jury, he declared “our faith in the jury system rests 011 the same foundation as our faith in popular government." Voicing a protest at what he termed an effort of the minority to force their views on the majority. Mr. Bryan said, “The evolutionists if they were in the majority in Tennessee, would elect a legislature on this issue and repeal, the law, but knowing they ary in the minor ity, they have not attempted sueh ac- Mr. Bryan concluded thit the Tennes see) anti-evolution law lueraiy prohibits tne evolutionists from substituting their kindf'bf religion for the religion of the mashes!

Scopes, defendant, in the. Teunesmu-e evolution trial “is doing more harm to the teaeli eis the country than to any other class.'’ . ■ . ... i This harm, he declared, would be “in definitely increased ,if his (Scopes) views as to the independence of the teacher were established.", “If the evolutionists can succeed. in establishing the doctrine that a teacher can teach anything he or she pleases," said Mr. Bryan, “and teachers disregard the views of employers it will become necessary to find out before apointment what ths teacher thinks on disputed questions, because the people who em ploy teachers will be just as certain to prevent teaching what ie objectionable to those who employ the teachers, a« bank ers and businesa men are to prevent clerks from running the banks contrary to the instructions of their employers.” Mr. Bryan, who is associated with counsel for prosecution of the yonng school instructor, expressed the belief that the welfare of teachers is moat preserved under the “present system.” Under this Bystem, he said, personal views of teachers are left free, and the control of what is to be taught > s to be left to those to hire the teachers. “That is to the taxpayers and parents acting through legislatures and boards of edu cation.

TURNS RIGHT ABOUT 1 Mulvane In 1812 Fought Third Tertn for | T. R.. Yet Urges It For President, j Charles Michelson iq New York World, j Washington, July 9.—No serious im portance is attached to the declaration r of David W. Mulvane, Republican na- I ttiona! committeeman from Kansas, made at Swampwutt recently putting Presl -1 dent Coolidge in the race for a third , term in 1028. ' It is simply nn*Oceidental form of the t old Oriental greeting: "O, great king, live forever,” In 1912, Mr. ftulvane. being a staunch regular, was eonsilicuous in the fight to deny Theoedore Roosevelt just what he ' now wishes to award Calvin Coolidge. I i Then he was insistent the spirit of the ' third term inhibition, meant that mg • J man should be President more than; [twice; now he points oiit that Mr. Cpol • j idge merely carried out I‘resident Hard ’ j mg's iM>lie|es for the fractionul term and '! therefore ip really only serving his first I term. At this particular stage of the Coolidge II Administration every regular Republican 1 1 politician is bound to be for him if he wants the Presidency., again; anything else would be political treason. Senator Willis two,months ago sound • ed the same note in jleny : ng his own Presidential aspirations. Tlie Ohio Sen ator, charged with starting on a speak ing hour with the White House in view, ; replied, in much the same langunge ns ' that employed by the National Commit teeman from Kansas, that the nomina tion in 1928 belonged to Mr. Coolidge and that nobody else could go after it unless the President disclaimed any in tention of running again. That 1s something Mr. Coolidge is not at all likely to do. His natural, hah* l of reticence will prevent his making the dilemma for himself that Roosevelt did in the Bush of his election tb the Presi dency after having served o'ut McKinley's term, when he proclaimed his belief that 1 the country did not want a man to be three times in the President’s chair, whether by election or succession. The impression is very strong that Mr. Coolidge's present frame of minde inclines to continuing in his office after 1928. As a matter of fact not since Washington and Jefferson and some of their immedi ate successors, pronounced against a Ihiril term have we had a two-term Presi dent who did not hanker to run again, but the sentiment of the country has al ways been strong enough to deny a .nom ination in theme cases—the incident of Grant as well as of Roosevett illustrate this. Perhaps the most significant indica tion in the present instance is the com-, ment oj Arthur Brisbane, who ahortly after he had been the President's guest on the Mayflower, published the follow ing: “There cant be any Coolidge tb ; rd term discussion until after the President shall have been re-elected in 1028. That would be his second term and the right time to begin talking about a third.” He added that Mr. Coolidge's acci dental tenure of office following Presi deut Harding's death was not a Presi dential term, and hazurded the opinion that .the people of his party “not being idiots," will ask him to take charge for four years more.
