Illinois Governor (Democrat), 1932-1940; lawyer, and Cook County Probate Court Judge, 1914-

1931, from Chicago. Horner, Illinois’ first Jewish Governor, governed the state during the depression

of the 1930s, serving as President Roosevelt’s representative supporting the New Deal. A protégé of

former Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, Horner was noted for fighting the Chicago machine politics

of Edward J. Kelly and Patrick A. Nash. Horner spent his final year in office battling failing health

and his Lieutenant Governor John Stelle in a struggle for control of the state and the Democratic

Party. An Abraham Lincoln enthusiast, Horner amassed a large collection of Lincolniana which was

given to the Illinois State Historical Library. A lifelong single man, he died in office on October 6,

1940.

Correspondence, legal papers, financial records, campaign material, department files, subject files,

Biographical Sketch

Henry Horner was born Henry Levy on November 30, 1878, on Chicago’s South Side. The third son

of Solomon Abraham Levy and Dilah Horner Levy, Henry Levy’s name was changed to Henry

Horner when his parents divorced five years after Henry’s birth. His mother resumed using her

maiden name and changed her children’s names as well. Henry’s mother Dilah was the daughter of

Henry Horner, Chicago’s first grocer and founder of Henry Horner and Company; and Hannah

Dernburg Horner, a recent German immigrant. After the Chicago fire of 1871 wiped out the Horner

grocery store, the first Henry Horner never fully recovered from the shock. He died in 1878 and

Dilah and her sons moved in with Hannah. Dilah was charged with running the home while Hannah

continued to operate the family grocery business.

Henry attended public schools in Chicago and Chicago Manual Training School. He attended the

University of Chicago and graduated from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 1898. Henry and Frank

A. Whitney entered into a partnership, practicing as Whitney and Horner until 1905. It was Whitney

who was responsible for peaking Horner’s interest in Abraham Lincoln. Whitney’s father had been a

friend of Lincoln’s and was author of Life on the Circuit with Lincoln, about the years they practiced

law in the 8th judicial circuit. Whitney’s father’s interest in Abraham Lincoln rubbed off on Horner,

and he began to amass a collection of Lincolniana that would eventually be second in size only to the

Library of Congress. The collection (approximately 6000 items) was willed to the Illinois State

Historical Library and became the basis for their Lincoln Collection.

From 1905 to 1914 Horner was a member of the firm Whitman and Horner. He had also been an active

participant in Chicago’s Democratic politics, learning the process of precinct politics from Michael

(Hinky Dink) Kenna and the like. Horner involved himself in the German social clubs of

the city, but was also astute enough to befriend the Irish as well. In 1911 Horner served as chairman

of the Committee on Plan and Procedure for the convention called by Mayor Carter H. Harrison to

reform the system of city government. Horner led the examination of conflicting government

jurisdiction, and tax and social welfare problems.

In 1914 Horner was elected probate judge in Cook County, a position he held until 1931, being re-

elected three times. Horner instituted the “Horner Plan” in which veterans’ estates were handled

without legal costs to the beneficiaries. The Horner Plan helped immensely with Horner’s popularity.

Horner also served on the Lincoln Highway Commission and the Commission for the Perpetuation of

Lincoln Memorials throughout the state, owing to his now noted interest in Abraham Lincoln.

In 1931 Horner resigned his judgeship to run for governor of Illinois sponsored by the Mayor of

Chicago, Anton J. Cermak. The 1932 Democratic primary pitted Horner against Chicago Irish hero,

Michael J. Igoe and the state Democratic Party chairman Bruce A. Campbell of Belleville. With

Cermak’s support, Horner won the primary and went on to defeat the Republican candidate, former

Governor Len Small. Franklin Roosevelt’s victory sweep in the 1932 national election was certainly

an added factor in Horner’s favor.

Soon after Horner’s election Cermak was killed in Miami, Florida, by an assassin’s bullet meant for

Roosevelt. This left Horner to lead the Illinois Democratic Party, battling with Chicago’s new

Mayor, Edward J. Kelly and Patrick A. Nash – the “Kelly-Nash Machine” of Chicago politics.

Illinois politics had always been a struggle between downstate and Chicago factions, and the

governor generally needed to have the support of Chicago politicos in order to be effective.

Biographical Sketch

Horner however, declined to be controlled by the “Kelly-Nash Machine”. They feuded over off-track

betting and state regulation of liquor sales. Horner and the machine also disagreed on choosing

candidates for state offices. Kelly backed Dr. Herman N. Bundesen for the Democratic nomination

for governor in 1936, and a costly ($3 million) mud-slinging campaign ensued, with Horner the

victor. Horner went on to win the general election against C. Wayland Brooks. In 1938 Horner

backed Scott W. Lucas for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senator against Kelly’s choice of

Michael J. Igoe. Lucas won the nomination and the election. The constant struggle within the party

was a strain on Horner, and his health failed after the 1938 elections.

Horner’s gubernatorial years were marked with struggle. He was governor during some of the most

trying years the state had ever known. The Great Depression was at its worst during Horner’s

administration and he had to fight against a reactionary legislature which contested any economic or

social reforms of the New Deal. Dairy farmers staged milk strikes and hungry people marched on the

State Capitol in search of relief. Bank closures and floods also wreaked havoc throughout the state.

Mine labor unrest continued to be bloody and uncontrollable.

Horner repealed prohibition and tried unsuccessfully to put liquor sales under state regulation. He

instituted a major revision to the revenue system, abolishing an inadequate property tax, replacing it

with a sales tax. This gained him the appellation “High Tax Henry”. Under Horner’s administration

state aid to schools increased, the old age pensions and unemployment insurance was instituted,

building programs for state institutions were established, and public health services improved.

Horner tried, but failed, to settle mine union warfare.

In the fall of 1938 Horner became ill. He spent some three weeks in a Chicago hotel, and then five

months in Florida recuperating. His lieutenant governor, John H. Stelle was left in charge as acting

governor. Because Horner disliked and distrusted Stelle, a four person advisory group of Horner’s

closest allies was established to advise Stelle. The four advisors were Sam L. Nudleman, director of

finance; Charles K. Schwartz, chairman of the state tax commission; F. Lynden Smith, director of the

state department of public works and buildings; and James Slattery, chairman of the commerce

commission. In April of 1939 Horner returned to Illinois and directed affairs from his bedroom in the

executive mansion. After spending the summer months in Chicago and returning to Springfield for

the fall legislative session, Horner decided he was too ill to run for a third term. The ensuing power

struggle for control of the Democratic Party and the different factions vying for the nomination for

the governor’s office were trying. At one point Stelle proclaimed himself governor citing Horner’s

illness, but the proclamation was ignored. Horner’s distrust for Stelle impelled him to refuse to step

down. Finally, however, Horner’s health intervened and he died in Chicago on October 6, 1940.

Horner was a sensitive man. The party squabbles and the ugliness involved in politics were hard to

bear. He was known to love children and enjoyed going to the movies. Single all his life, he lived by

himself in an apartment in Chicago with a parrot named Shut-up, once his mother died in 1921.

When he occupied the executive mansion he had several dogs as companions. Horner was a great

believer in air travel, and he flew all over the state to perform his official duties.

and the Law, City, Chicago Literary, Mid-Day, Standard, Iroquois, Covenant, Collegiate, Illinois
