- Honorable mentions to:[3]
- Frank W. Griffin and Harry E. Kalodner of The Philadelphia Record, for "their series of articles exposing solicitors for charity funds who diverted to themselves a large part of the money collected by use of the Mayor's name. As a result of the exposé, the Mayor's committee was disbanded and an investigation begun by the District Attorney."
- Harry Bloom and J. Howard Henderson of The Louisville Times, for "their exposé of frauds practiced by County Clerk W. G.
