THE TWO SCALES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Hughes and fairbanks, a judicial couple!
Last Line: Finely matched with the fairbanks scales!
Subject(s): Elections; Fairbanks, Henry (1830-1918); Hughes, Charles Evans (1862-1948); Voting; Voters; Suffrage


Hughes and Fairbanks, a judicial couple!
Such a wise partnership never fails.
Hughes will manage the scales of Justice;
Fairbanks will handle the Fairbanks scales.

All of the problems that come before them,
All bewildering, grim details,
Hughes will weigh on the scales of Justice,
Fairbanks will weigh on the Fairbanks scales.

Scales of Law and the scales of Labor!
One or the other always avails.
Happy union, -- the scales of Justice
Finely matched with the Fairbanks scales!
