Dave Crowe

"I Am going to make a plea, which to the many hundreds in this electorate will seem quite astonishing—I am going to make a plea for modesty!"

With this statement. "Modest Dave" announces his intention of becoming President.

A Puritanical obtuseness of sentiment, a stupid infantile goodness, is creeping among us, instead of the vigorous passions and virtues clad in flesh and blood with which the old Executives presented us. Today our friends on the Exec, are the dullest dogs we know. They are not educated: they are only college passmen. They are not religious:-they are only pewrentcrs. They are not moral: they are only conventional.

We need a fresh and original approach, unshackled from the chains of precedent. Dave is not on ex-Parliamentary candidate. He is not an Exec. man of so many years standing. Already a champion for the ill-paid law clerk and non-paid woman student. "Modest Dave" fought bitterly against the extraction of 10/- for the privilege of ex-travving in Hastings.

No gruff man he, but bubbling with conviviality and bonhomie. Dave is known as the "Good Listener."
