This story was one of the leading contributions to COLLIER'S Short Story Contest. Although it failed to take a prize, it was one of the nine manuscripts considered in the determination of the final award. Senator Lodge, one of the judges, said of it: "In my opinion, 'The Best Man' was by far the best story offered, and I would have given it first place."
