前 言
序言
《竞选风波》是“纯爱英文馆?少女成长系列”的第四本，讲述了约翰叔叔带着三个侄女——露易丝、贝丝和帕齐去帮助他们的一个好朋友竞选议员的故事。
首先让我们来认识一下三个小主人公。露易丝，是三个姐妹中年长的一个，她美丽、优雅，带着一种难言形容的气质，使她总能赢得旁观者的赞赏。她言谈举止得体大方，遇事沉着冷静，虽然在为人处事方面仍然会时不时显出一些肤浅与狡猾，但对待朋友却热心、忠诚。贝丝是三个女孩中漂亮的一个。她和露易丝一样，性格具有多面性。她缺乏自信，总是担心别人不喜欢自己。她足智多谋，熟悉她的人对她钦佩有加。帕齐，是约翰叔叔喜欢的侄女。她爽朗的笑声和会说话的眼睛具有一种让人难以抗拒的魔力。帕齐长得并不漂亮，也不善于交际，但率直善良的她总能赢得所有人的心。三个少女经过几次长期相处，已经从陌生人变成了亲密无间的朋友，她们在经历了一次次的困难之后，更加团结、更加成熟了。她们的性格也发生了明显的变化。本书中，三人在协助肯尼思竞选的时候分工不同，都充分发挥了各自的特长。
我们再来看一下本书中另外一个主要人物肯尼思。他是三个女孩所要帮助的人，是本书的男主人公。他身上发生的变化之大超过了三个女孩。他与三个女孩没有血缘关系，是约翰叔叔的妹妹，简?梅瑞克未婚夫的外甥。由于他自幼失去双亲，寄居在在简的家中，他曾经孤僻、粗鲁无知。他曾经在现在的宅邸——原来简?梅瑞克的家与三个女孩有过一段时间的短暂相处，受她们的影响，特别是受率直的帕齐的影响，他变得开朗起来，他们也建立了忠贞不渝的友谊。由于他平时不善于与周围的邻居交往，加之他继承遗产后成为了有钱人，邻居们认为他与他们不是一路人，因而也不愿意去了解他，这些原因导致了他和邻里关系疏远。所以当人们得知他要除去建筑物上的广告时都嘲笑他是堂吉诃德。就是这样一个人居然要参加竞选，不管是他的对手，陌生的霍普金斯，还是熟悉他的三个女孩初都觉得不可能。这也在本书一开始就设下了一个悬念，勾起读者的阅读兴趣。
“少女成长系列”书中总有各色各样的反派人物，本书也不例外。卑鄙龌蹉的霍普金斯是肯尼思的竞争对手，他为了在竞选中获胜不择手段，花钱非法雇用没有选举权的人为他投票。医生斯奎尔是个不折不扣的拜金主义者，他有个老妈，他们诬陷露西偷窃，从中进行敲诈。他还和霍普金斯狼狈为奸，甚至从他那里进行敲诈，在事情败露后两人互相猜疑，撕破脸皮大打出手，完全颠覆了一个救死扶伤的医生形象。制造厂的主管马歇尔是霍普金斯的帮凶，他帮霍普金斯窝藏非法选民，以撤销起诉露易丝恋人汤姆为交换筹码对肯尼思进行敲诈勒索。利益将使这三个人结成了同盟，而只要无利可图，三人立马反目成仇。
本书从内容上来看，和前面三本有着明显的不同。随着三个主人公的成长，阅历的丰富，作者鲍姆次将她们置于竞选这样一个比较严肃的事件中。他在书中借约翰叔叔之口鼓励三个少女参政议政，让她们把协助肯尼思竞选一事视为“work”认真对待。在20世纪初，这种思想是进步的。三个女孩在这次竞选中所承受的压力也是前所未有的。肯尼思的竞争对手霍普金斯在抨击对手失利的情况下立马调转矛头指向三个女孩，无节制地在反对女性参政上大做文章，三个坚强的女孩顶住压力，齐心协力，终成功地协助肯尼思取得了胜利。
肯尼思参选是本书的主线，本书还有一条隐形的线索：贝丝和肯尼思帮助罗杰斯一家寻找女儿。罗杰斯的女儿露西被诬陷偷东西，她男朋友为了帮她交赔偿金，做假账被抓入狱，露西不堪重负精神失常后突然失踪。贝丝及肯尼思等人找到了露西，并请大夫对其进行救治。这一次要情节的添加使本书与“少女成长”系列一贯的主题——温情、多愁善感、人道主义援助等又保持了一致。
正义总会战胜邪恶，光明总会战胜黑暗，进步总会战胜落后，人类必然会不断地克服艰难险阻，向着美好的未来开拓前进。这是本书传达的思想，这是成长带给我们的启示。

正在肯尼思对选举议员的事感到万分沮丧的时候，他收到了约翰叔叔将来拜访的电报。他为即将见到久违的老友兴奋不已，也为摆脱恼人的竞选而感到轻松了许多。约翰叔叔和三个侄女如期而至，三个孩子告诉肯尼思，她们会为肯尼思当选而花钱“运作”。她们将对此事如何操控呢？
The Honorable Erastus Hopkins was thoroughly enjoying his campaign.
He was not an especially popular man in his district, and he knew it. Physically he was big and stout, with a florid face and small eyes that blinked continually. His head was bald, his hands fat and red and his feet enormous.
To offset this Mr. Hopkins wore a silk hat and a “Prince Albert” coat morning, noon and night. His gold watch-chain was huge and imposing; he had a big diamond shirt-stud, and upon his puffy fingers several rings. He conveyed, nevertheless, the impression that he was more prosperous than refined, and the farmers and townsmen were as quick to recognize this as was Mr. Watson himself.
Moreover, the Honorable Erastus was dubbed “close-fisted ” by his neighbors. He never spent a penny on anyone but himself, and being unscrupulous in politics he was naturally unscrupulous in smaller things of a business nature. But since he had risen from a stable-boy to his present affluent position he had never been unwise or careless enough to be caught in any crooked action; and while his acquaintances had an indefinite fear of dealing with him they could not accuse him openly.
It seems strange that such a man should have been chosen to represent a wealthy and important district in the State Legislature, but politics can show many a similar case. In the first place, Mr. Hopkins was aggressive, and knew political methods thoroughly. He had usurped the position of Democratic leader in his community and the others were afraid to antagonize him openly. When he was nominated for Representative he managed to dictate, by shrewd methods, the nomination of Thompson, the store-keeper, on the Republican ticket. Thompson owed Hopkins a large sum of money and Hopkins held a mortgage on the stock. Therefore Thompson dared not make a fight, and although the Republican vote was normally the largest in the district, Hopkins had managed to win enough of them to his side to win.
