A vote more or less did not matter either way, as all that McNab was looking for was a ''yindica- tion." He tried the ''vindication" with the assistance of some of Barry's friends and then carried out his part of the play by declining the nomination. Senator Sam Braunhart and w. P. Lawlor, who were in the contest, did not receive even a mention
