Seated in the rear of a limousine, President Franklin Roosevelt (left), Illinois Governor Henry Horner (center), Chicago Mayor Edward Kelly (right rear), and Illinois U.S. Senator William H. Dieterich (front right) ride together on the day of the dedication of the Outer Drive Bridge in Chicago. Roosevelt, the thirty-second president of the United States (1933-1945), was elected to four consecutive terms, instituted "New Deal" legislation to help pull the country out of the Great Depression, and led the country through the Second World War. 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).
