Mayor Becker plans a balloon trip for campaign publicity, while Coey promotes the craft’s practical use in electioneering. The gas bag will be green, with a seven by seven foot wicker leathered basket for comfort. Becker aims to demonstrate speed and reach by balloon to address voters from the basket, calling the craft Wisconsin.
