1,500 miles away from New York, another jazz scene was developing. Kansas City was a major riverboat, railroad and slaughterhouse center, and had been a wide-open town since the 1890s. By 1926 the city councilman maneuvered one of his minions, Henry F. McElroy, into the post of city manager and struck a deal with mob boss Johnny Lazia (The "Al Capone of Kansas City") to run the police force. This made control of Kansas City politics complete.

Explanation:

Henry F. McElroy was hand picked in 1926 by Thomas J. Pendergast to be Kansas City first city manager. Pendergast, in his capacity as Chairman of the Jackson Coutry Democratic Party was able to use his large network of family and friends to help elect politicians and hand out government contracts. Through his deal with Johnny Lazia he gained complete business control of Kansas City politics.
