Indiana and Wisconsin poll predictions on Cass in 1848
Tenne Havre, July 11, 1848, reports Indiana may give Cass a large majority similar to Polk. Northern Free Territory ideas affect Whigs, Wisconsin leans Cass due to German and Norwegian voters, Ohio looks strong, Kentucky uncertain. Projections hinge on southern support and Yankee splits. Van Buren election prospects discussed with Dana. Stevenson sees Van Buren likely president or causing party distraction.
