Austin Peay (June 1, 1876 – October 2, 1927) was an American politician who served as the 35th governor of Tennessee from 1923 to 1927. He was the state's first governor since the Civil War to win three consecutive terms and the first to die in office. Prior to his election as governor, he served two terms in the Tennessee House of Representatives (1901–1905). In 1925, Peay signed the Butler Act into law. The law barred the teaching of the theory of evolution in public schools and led to the Scopes Trial.

  • Austin Peay (June 1, 1876 – October 2, 1927) was an American politician who served as the 35th governor of Tennessee from 1923 to 1927. He was the state's first governor since the Civil War to win three consecutive terms and the first to die in office. Prior to his election as governor, he served two terms in the Tennessee House of Representatives (1901–1905). As governor, Peay consolidated government agencies, overhauled the tax code, improved higher education, expanded the state highway system, and converted a $3 million state debt into a budget surplus. He created Tennessee's first state park and assured the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. During his tenure, the balance of power in state politics shifted from the state legislature to the governor. In 1925, Peay signed the Butler Act into law. The law barred the teaching of the theory of evolution in public schools and led to the Scopes Trial. (en)
  • Austin Peay (1 de junho de 1876 – 2 de outubro de 1927) foi um político americano, o 35.º Governador do Tennessee, com mandato de 1923 até 1927. Ele foi o primeiro governador do estado desde a Guerra Civil Americana que exerceu três mandatos consecutivos e um dos primeiros a morrer no cargo. Antes de sua eleição como governador, ele exerceu dois mandatos na Câmara dos Representantes do Tennessee, com mandato de 1901 até 1905. Amplamente considerado um dos governadores mais eficazes do Tennessee, Peay promulgou numerosas reformas de governo. Ele consolidou as agências governamentais, reviu o código tributário, melhorou as escolas estaduais, significativamente expandiu o sistema de rodovias do Estado e converteu a grande dívida do estado em um superávit orçamentário. Ele também criou o primeiro parque no estado do Tennessee e prestou apoio do estado para o estabelecimento do Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Durante seu mandato, as forças políticas do estado mudaram do legislativo para o governador. Em 1925, Peay sancionou uma lei, conhecida como o ato de Butler, que barrou o ensino da teoria da evolução nas escolas públicas. A promulgação desta lei levou ao julgamento de John T. Scopes, ocorrida nesse mesmo ano. (pt)
  • Austin Peay IV, född 1 juni 1876 i Christian County, Kentucky, död 2 oktober 1927 i Nashville, Tennessee, var en amerikansk demokratisk politiker. Han var guvernör i delstaten Tennessee från 1923 fram till sin död. Peay studerade juridik vid i Danville, Kentucky. Han inledde sedan sin karriär som advokat i Tennessee. Han var ledamot av Tennessee House of Representatives, underhuset i delstatens lagstiftande församling, 1901-1905. Peay besegrade ämbetsinnehavaren Alfred A. Taylor i 1922 års guvernörsval i Tennessee. Han omvaldes 1924 och 1926. Peay godkände 1925 den berömda lagen Butler Act som förbjöd undervisningen i evolutionsteori vid skolor och universitet i Tennessee. Redan samma år åtalades läraren för att ha brutit mot lagen. Den följande rättegången blev känd som Scopes Monkey Trial. Delstaten Tennessee fick stor publicitet tack vare rättegången och berömda jurister deltog i den, bland annat bland försvarsadvokaterna och William Jennings Bryan på åklagarsidan. Peay var känd som en progressiv guvernör och han hade förväntats att använda sin vetorätt mot Butler Act. Att han godkände lagen var ett resultat av en politisk kohandel. För sin del godkände Peay den lagstiftande församlingens nya lag mot evolutionsteori i utbyte mot att den lagstiftande församlingen godkände Peays reformer både när det gällde delstatens infrastruktur och undervisningssystem. Peay själv antog att lagen knappast skulle tillämpas i praktiken. Peay avled 1927 i ämbetet och efterträddes av Henry Hollis Horton. Peay var frimurare och baptist. Hans grav finns på Greenwood Cemetery i Clarksville, Tennessee. (sv)
