Lony of Nashville supported the indictment and law, while Arthur Garfield Hays for the ACLU argued the statute infringed rights and immunity. The session highlighted broader issues beyond teaching evolution, with judges questioning implications for state supported institutions and civil liberties.

Arthur Garfield Hays of New York for the American Civil Liberties Union asked the Tennessee Supreme Court to strike down the Anti-Evolution Act under which Scopes was convicted, arguing it deprives citizens of due process and equal protection under the 14th Amendment. he questioned police power limits and legislative scope. The report resumes on page three. Philadelphia marks the Sesqui-centennial with a six month expo celebrating 150 years of independence, aiming for a peace declaration and drawing millions to South Philadelphia May 31 to December 1 1926.
