He was a very savvy legislator and had been in the Senate for many years before he became president. He was also not beyond a little blackmail and arm twisting. He knew the secrets of Congress and where the bodies were buried. He would let the men he called into his office know what would happen if things didn't go his way. They became "converts" to his way of thinking. This is not really right, but it sure gets the job done.
