Little House on the Prairie: Season 3, Episode 20

3 - 20: The Election

When it comes time to elect a new classroom president, Mary and Nellie are first to compete for the position. To even things out a bit, the boys strategically elect a shy, mentally-delayed classmate named Elmer Dopkins. The trouble is, Elmer's overprotective father is fully aware of the boys' ulterior motives, but how far can a parent go to protect his bullied child?

Michael Landon, Jr. plays Jim in this episode. He's the blonde boy who nominates Mary for class president.
