Henry Horner rides to an unknown destination, possibly campaigning during the election of 1936. Springfield Bishop John C. White, United States Senators James H. Lewis and James A. Slattery, and a future Illinois Supreme Court Justice, Harry B. Hershey, accompany Horner on the ride. Horner was the twenty-eighth Governor of Illinois (1933-1940). Known as a reformer, Horner fought political patronage and oversaw the states troubled finances during the Great Depression. Additionally, Horner's extensive collection of Lincolniana became the foundation of the Lincoln Collection at the Illinois State Historical Library (now the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library).
