...signatures would place Fernandes' name on the primary ballot. Furthermore, Fernandes' chances of election were greatly increased by his absence.

Crane, the incumbent Treasurer. But the realization that the sudden boost to Fernandes' candidacy was due primarily to a strange set of circumstances rather than to any pronouncements of his own still embarrased some Republicans.
