I am studying for my history exam, and am looking at the terms checklist:

Chapter 20
Tammany Hall
"boodle"
"new" immigration
Urban transport

as the sole discoverer of "boodle" i reserve the rights to the application of the aforementioned term and subsequently no one gets to be boodle.
 
From my book:

Every city contract and bond issue, every tax assessment, every charter for a new business offered [George Washington] Plunkitt and his cronies an opportunity to line their pockets. Money made from inside knowledge of city projects was known as "boodle." How much boodle bosses collected depended on how well their organization managed to elect sympathetic officials."
