...Mike Stepovich, happy as a sourdough with a new-found nugget, turned to leave, stopped to sign autographs for well-wishers, then stepped outside to pose for pictures and some hugs-and-backslap horseplay with Alaska's Democratic Delegate E. L. ("Bob") Bartlett and with two engineers of the House victory: New York's Democrat Leo O'Brien and Pennsylvania's Republican John Saylor.

Boyle was nicknamed for his tactful method of collecting bribes; in Johnson's saloon, his unofficial headquarters on West Madison Street, he would hang his big cotton bumbershoot on the edge of the bar, discuss terms with "clients," disappear while they slipped the cash into the umbrella.
