[edit] Some background on the 2003-2004 Prohibition quarrels

Since the above note indicates that the biography should be altered, I thought that some additional information might be of use.

In the summer of 2003, Dodge called a meeting in his house in Lakewood, Colorado. The Prohibition Party's executive committee did not issue a call for this convention. Dodge and six other people, including two daughters, met in his living room. The group nominated him for president and Howard Lydick for vice president. One of those present was Leroy J. Pletten, the secretary of the executive committee, who later "switched sides" as the controversy widened. Dodge and Pletten are not closely related.

The party's executive committee immediately objected to this meeting. The executive committee called a meeting in Tennessee to decide how to respond. This was in the fall of 2003. At this meeting, new officers were chosen for the executive committee, and Dodge was asked to give an account of the party funds and Storms collection. Chronicler3 11:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
