Later in the week Stevenson traveled east to Hartford, Conn., where a conclave of top New England Democrats gave him a welcome that warmed his heart. At lunch, with Governor Abraham Ribicoff (who in January pledged Connecticut's 20 Democratic votes to Adlai), Stevenson was assured that he had no cause for worry in New England. That evening, expanding in such a congenial atmosphere, he gave 1,500 guests at Connecticut's Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner a sample of the new-style Stevenson fight talk...

Rumbled Ribicoff: "Anyone caught conniving or annoying ... in any department of the state government while I am governor will be fired on the spot...
...wake of the recent disastrous floods in New England, Connecticut's Governor Abraham A. Ribicoff loudly denounced as "ghoulish" reported attempts to lure hard-hit industries to the flood-free South. Actually, no industries have left the state as a result of the floods. But his suspicions were understandable. With industry spending a record $27.3 billion on expansion this year, almost every state, county and city in the nation is hungrily trying to lure new industries.
