I've found the wire/strap to be a common connection for the two caps. Usually chassis ground. Crosley used a lot of these...as you can see!
Just another tip...On that Jake electrolytic I notice the leads are bent perpindicular to the case. Not a good practice. You should leave some straight lead coming out of the bottom for at least 1/8" or so. That will minimize the strain on the internal connections and minimize the risk of the positive lead shorting against the case. Remember these things get bumped around over the years.
