Kansas City Machine Hit as County Court Nomination Falls
The Pendergast Democratic machine suffered a setback in Jackson County as only one of its endorsed candidates for the three judge county court positions was nominated. Fred W. Klaber led by about 2000 votes, while George S. Montgomery and Walter L. Yost captured the other two seats with narrow margins. The loss marks a major blow to the organization after earlier losses in city government and income tax evasion convictions against former leader T. J. Pendergast. James M. Pendergast now heads the machine. Republican county offices remain rare prizes.
