Botkin’s Contrasting Campaign Tactics in 1847 Baraboo Bluff Vote
In 1847 Alexander Botkin, without media, canvassed Baraboo and Prairie du Sac audiences. He praised Baraboo valley and urged macadamizing the bluff road to aid Sauk Prairie residents, while his rival promised the same road, and Botkin argued against taxing to support a rival town. Botkin secured support by framing the road project as regional prosperity.
