The fourth book in this series. The story involves a return visit by the three nieces (and Uncle John) to Elmhurst, the large estate that their young friend, Kenneth Forbes, had inherited from Aunt Jane in the first book of the series. Kenneth, now legally of age, has decided to enter politics by running for State Representative on the Republican ticket, primarily to unseat the unscrupulous and dishonest Democratic incumbent. Although it appears that he is likely to lose by landslide proportions, Louise, Beth, and Patsy appoint themselves his campaign managers and develop some unorthodox stratagems in an effort to snatch victory from the jaws of deafeat.
