This page is primarily **advertising**, dominated by a full-page Hartford Shock Absorber advertisement featuring an illustration of an early automobile laden with luggage and passengers. The ad's headline claims road-racking "ruins" comfort and cars, positioning the shock absorber as essential protection. Below appears the beginning of an article titled "A Schoolmaster in Pennsylvania," which references political controversy: Pennsylvania Governor **Martin G. Brumbaugh** is accused of favoring political cronies over qualified candidates for public office. The text suggests Brumbaugh—formerly superintendent of Philadelphia schools—may be the same person as a New Jersey governor occupying the Pennsylvania governor's chair, or that he's emulating such nepotistic behavior. This appears to be **satirical political commentary** on state-level corruption and patronage politics. Smaller advertisements for Stromberg Carburetors also appear, typical of automotive trade publications from this era.

In case, for any reason, any one or more of these twelve authors should be unable to act as judge, then the contest will be decided by the rest. ch of the judges will, of course, if he so wishes, vote for his own story first, so that the final result may probably be determined by the combined second, third and fourth choices of all the judges.
