The Editor of the Sun News-Pictorial received on Wednesday a letter from Senator "Digger" Dunn, in which he said: "Dear Comrade, I am a better looking bloke than the fellow you have been printing for yours truly," and he enclosed a new photograph of himself for publication.

Dear Comrade: In the game of politics
A Senator gits quite enough of kicks
   Without 'is photer sittin' in the press
   Wot makes 'is map look like a nasty mess --
A pitcher that present 'im to the mob
         A fair gazob.

Me, I ain't vain, but it is past a joke
To go an' print a crook dile of a bloke
   So that the mob sez, "Is this Digger?  Struth!
   'E's changed a good bit since 'is flamin' youth.
We thort 'e was a better lookin' chap.
         Strike!  Wot a man!"

Why make me look like somethin' choice in crooks?
For, if I ain't got nothin' but me looks,
   Why, gimme looks, an' bung a photer in
   That gives me sex-appeal a dinkum spin
I ain't -- (For w'ich remark 'e'll please excuse)
         No Billy Hughes.

An' so, I sends 'erewith me dinkum chiv --
The dinkum Digger, w'ich I 'ope you'll give
   A bit o' space to 'elp along your sales --
   An' mind you say I come from Noo South Wales!
That ought to fetch 'em.  So you play your part,
        An' 'ave a 'eart.

"C.J. Dennis"
