Earl Dodge, six-time Prohibition candidate for president, dies at 74
DENVER (AP) - A Prohibition Party campaign song says, "I'd rather be right than president." By that score, Earl Dodge was right six times.
Dodge, an activist in the Prohibition Party since 1952, ran for president in every campaign since 1984. He died Wednesday, the same week his family received campaign buttons for his seventh bid for the White House in 2008. He was 74.
Dodge, a native of Malden, Mass., lived in the Denver suburb of Lakewood. He collapsed and died at Denver International Airport at the start of a business trip, said his daughter, Faith Nelson. The cause of death had not been determined. Dodge mounted 13 campaigns across nearly every level of government beginning with a 1969 run for City Council in Kalamazoo, Mich. He never won a race.
But family and colleagues said he was undaunted even as the party's prominence continued to slip from its heyday before the 1933 repeal of the 18th Amendment, which had banned alcoholic drinks.
"He firmly believed in the party, more so than many people believe in anything," said Howard Lydick, Dodge's running mate in 2004. "He was very concerned about personal integrity."
Lydick, 78, of Richardson, Texas, said he and Dodge were working on strategies to get on the ballot in more states in 2008. In 2004, they had managed to make it on the ballot only in Colorado, which allows any political party to nominate a presidential candidate. They received 140 votes.
After decades in the party, Dodge was the subject of a split among national prohibitionists in 2004. A faction of the party spurned Dodge and nominated the Rev. Gene Amondson for president.
"He very much saw things as black and white," said Nelson, one of Dodge's seven children. "When he thought something was right, he did not care if he was the only person to stand up and say it."
He was a Baptist Sunday school teacher, and his family said his faith permeated his politics.
Dodge's love of politics and history led him to own a campaign memorabilia business. He was on his way to a memorabilia show in Pennsylvania when he died.
"It was a real surprise to us," Nelson said. "He has been doing well."
Dodge was born in 1932. He began volunteering with the Prohibition Party at 19 - two years before he could vote at the time, his wife, Barbara, said.
In his life with the party, Dodge also ran for vice president, governor of Colorado, senator from Kansas and University of Colorado regent.

May 24, 2020Hilda M. Niedermann Dodge Two years ago, on May 24, 2018, we lost a kind and gentle soul, Hilda Margaret Niedermann Dodge.
Born February 26, 1923, in Fort Dodge, Webster, Iowa, Hilda moved to Arcadia, California, in the 1930s with her parents, Franz Egon and Margaret Kleber Niedermann, and her two older brothers, Karl Joseph and Oscar Franz. After graduating from Monrovia High School in 1942, Hilda attended Pasadena Junior College and San Diego Mercy College of Nursing, where she joined the World War II Cadet Nursing Corp, becoming a nurse in 1946.
Hilda met the love of her life, Robert Livingston Dodge, on a blind date for New Years' Eve and they were married at St. Charles Borromeo Church in San Diego on June 10, 1950. Hilda and Robert were blessed with three children, Peter William Dodge, Marianne Elizabeth Dodge Zeigler (William), and Patricia Diane Dodge Simpkins, and one grandchild, Lauren Michelle Wainscott.
Yet Hilda's life was more than just a series of dates on a calendar. She was a creative individual that was known for her quilt-work that graced their home. Hilda enjoyed other needlework too, and her Christmas ornaments continue to be family treasures. After graduating from Mercy, Hilda had a short career as a registered nurse but continued to offer nursing services at camps for the Boy Scouts. She excelled as a Den Mother and Camp Fire leader, creating memories that enrich her children to this day.
After Robert retired from the San Diego Police Department, he and Hilda became camp hosts at Preacher Meadow in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, hiking throughout the Trinity Alps. They spent many years backpacking and camping in the local mountains and the Sierras.
Hilda is survived by her children and grandchild and predeceased by her husband, parents, brothers, and a son-in-law, Richard A. Simpkins.
Hilda and Robert loved the outdoors and came back from their hikes with stories of beautiful flowers, glorious sunrises, colorful sunsets, gentle deer, and a gregarious bear or two! They are eternally together, enjoying the best of days, hand in hand, relishing the great outdoors. February 26, 1923 - May 24, 2018.
