...year-old Democratic mayor of Springfield stopped at the "O'Connor for Senator" headquarters on Palmer St. behind the Coop for a stinging four-minute speech at 2 p.m. Before several office girls hanging out of windows and a handful of expressionless passers-by, O'Connor labeled Sen. Leverett Saltonstall '14, "an ultra-conservative who advocates maintaining the status...
