Benton Sees Rage Undecided in Democratic Senate Race
Waterbury June 25 AP Former Senator William Benton told 800 supporters that Alphonsus Donahue of Stamford will seek the U S Senate nomination at the Hartford Democratic state convention. He did not rule out a primary, noting any such contest hinges on the convention outcome. Benton predicted none of Bowles Dodd or Benton would gain a first ballot majority and ruled out New Haven mayor Lee as a compromise candidate. Elmer Worthington of Roxbury will deliver one of the seconding speeches for Benton. Bridgeport delegates remain uncommitted and will caucus in Hartford Saturday morning.
