Item is an editorial cartoon anticipating the Progressive Conservative and New Democratic Leadership races to replace Robert Stanfield and David Lewis. The image shows a large stringed "Tory Leadership" balloon, with the figures of six PC candidates holding on to the trailing string. The closest figure to the balloon, and the largest, is John P. Roberts who is followed by the smaller figures of Claude Wagner, Flora MacDonald, William McKeough, Peter Lougheed, and Heward Grafftey. Opposite the "Tory Leadership" balloon, and separated by the darkened image of the upper part of the Peace Tower is the smaller stringed "NDP" Leadership" balloon, with the smaller sized figures of NDP candidates David Barrett (holding on to the part of the string closest to the balloon), followed by Allan Blakeney, Edward Schreyer, and Lorne Nystrom., Directly below the figure of Lorne Nystrom can be seen the upside down lower half of the torso of Edward Broadbent disappearing below the bottom outside edge of the image
