On my way to other things: There is a reference to Moses M. Strong in "Wisconsin, A Story Progress", by William Francis Raney, Ph.D., 100: "es M. Strong, the Democratic candidate [in the Wisconsin elections of 1847], had a reputation for drinking that is said to have lost him the vote of the striNew England elements and there was also a third-party movement that may have thrown the election to the Whigs." There is also a long reference James J. Strang [lawyer-Mormon] in 1843 in Wisconsin on page 118. Gerald O. Breithaupt
