THE KEY WEST CITIZEN HIS WEALTH TO CARRY SOCOOSESOOOSEOOOSSEOSOOOOSOOOOOSOSHOHOSOOSOOOOOCS ON FOR BRYAN | LEADS FIGHT ON EVOLUTION: George F. Washburn and a fadeout picture of Willitm Jennings Bryan (left), which was taken at the Scopes trial. By NEA Service CLEARWATER, Fla., April 17.—The fight that lost its leader when William Jennings Bryan died has found a new standard-bear- er. A new chieftain has arisen to take the place of the: Great Com- moner in the ranks of militant Fundamentalism, George F. Wasleurn, multimillionaire of Clearwater and Bos- | ton, has taken for his own the ideas of Bryan. He has dedicated his life and his fortune to war on the teaching of evolution. And this ‘is his battle-cry: “Save the orthodox Bible from the onslaughts of modernism.” It was a year ago, before Bryan’s death, that Washburn heard a sermon in a Clearwater church about the fight to prevent the teaching of evolution in the schools. After Bryan’s death he be. gan to rally the dead leader’s following, and in November of Jast year he held a big mass meeting here, where 3000 people heard him-ery: DEDICATES FORTUNE FO TASK “I hereby dedicate myself, my family and my fortune to the task of stamping out the theory of evolution and the teaching of anything disrespectful to the Holy Bible.” . And the crusade was on again. *h Washburn’s leadership is different from Bryan’s. Bryan de- pended on his oratory to stir his followers. Washburn is applying thodern business methods, working as an organizer and executive to weld together. an efficient fighting machine. The Bible Crusaders of America, which has as its object the championing of the teaching of Genesis, is the official name of his organization. He subscribed $100,000 to its treasury at the beginning, and-has promised $100,000 more when it is needed. He has organized groups of workers who are invading various states with eloquence and: pamphlets, always working for legislative ac- tion against the teaching of “Darwinism.” The organization recently concluded ,its campaign’ in Missis- sippi, and saw the legislature pass an “anti-monkey bill” such as it had asked for. A crusade has been carried on in Florida, and the legislature is to consider a similar bill at its next session. Eventual- ly the crusaders expect to campaign in every state in the union. SEES MOVEMENT SPREAD “The Bible crusade is the biggest movement before America today,” says Washburn. “It is a movement destined to spread over the entire universe béfore many months have passed. Sweden and Jugoslavia have already taken up the fight, with fierce battles raging at trials similar to. the Scopes trial at Dayton last summer.” Washburn’s genius for organization is evident in the way the crusaders are’ grouped. There are associate members, active members, a children’s branch known as the Junior Crusaders, an organization of ministers and evangelists, a monthly magazine full of arguments and quotations. 4 Bryan is gone. But the, last movement he led is still going forward. His friend and co-worker is carrying on. _TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS | Pecoceovecoocoooaceoooss Willis Van Devanter, associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, born at Marion, 6:30 a. m: to 8 p. m, Ind., 67 years ago today.
