William Emmett Dever (democrat) defeated incumbent mayor William "Big Bill" Thompson and served as Mayor. He dramatically improved Chicago's infrastructure including building the City's first airport. However gang wars and prohibition took its toll and he lost the election to Thompson so Thompson got back in.

Butterfield was better. He even had Elvin Bishop with him during the PBBB era.

I was attempting to embed but apparently it isn't supported.

Edit: If you don't watch any of them at least watch the first one which includes an interview with Son House.

. . .

Anton Cermak was trying to be a good Mayor. He succeeded Big Bill. However Capone had him whacked while he was standing next to FDR.

Initially, everyone thought FDR was the intended target.
