What happens
Gildersleeve is running against Judge Hooker for chairman of the school board in Summerfield. The two rivals are polite to each other in public but quietly work to win over Dr. Pettibone, whose vote will decide the election. Gildersleeve tries a series of schemes, including speaking to the druggist, Floyd the barber and the principal, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve's nephew Leroy also causes trouble along the way. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode was broadcast on NBC on January 21, 1948, with Harold Peary in the title role, alongside Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
