there. and right there he slept. II was
Homer ID. Hines, formerly of Quincy,
now a resident and practicing attorney
az Muscogee. Okla, but who came
back 10 Illinois and spent two months
in the service OF George A Cooke in
his campaign for reelection. He was
the active political manager He was
the man who gave the orders, and ev-
erybody obeyed them. Justice Cooke
himself took his campaign orders from
Homer Dimes. Dimes planed the cam
paign and he conducted it.
Dimes some years ago was a leading
democrat of Adams county He was
secretary of the Adams county demo
cratic committee nine years ago when
Justice Guy c. Scott was elected. and
was identified prominently with the
management of SCOTS campaign
When Justice Scott was elected he
made Dimes his private secretary.
Dimes served four years and thea went
back 10 Quincy 10 practice law. When
Cooke became a candidate at the time
of Justice SCOTS death. he asked Dimes
10 manage his campaign Mr. Dimes
did so. and when Cooke was elected he
succeeded in getting Mr.. Dimes to re-
turn TO his old post as private sacre-
tary. After two years, however. he
moved 10 Muscogee, where he formed
law partnership which has brought
him a lucrative practice.
/ When Justice Cooke made his plans
/ for his campaign this year, his thoughts
naturally turned 10 his old friend and
standby, Homer d. Dimes. to manage
his campaign for him, and he talked
70 a number Of friends on numerous
occasions about how much he would
miss Dimes this time Finally one of
those with whom he conversed sug.
gested that he write Dimes and ask
him 10 come back and run the cam.
paign for him. 1T seems like an awful
cheeky thing TO do" said Cooke. for
II would be just like him to come. He's
built that way And yet have no such
claim upon him But Cooke wrote
Dimes on the subject. and Dimes packed
his suit case and came II was a test
Of friendship not seen every day. but
Dimes is one of the kind Of fellows
whose friendship is worth having
Cooke had that friendship, as he did
many another in his district. and in
the end it was what proved the largest
factor in his success.
