Prof and General
Are Candidates for
Prohibition Party
MILDORD, Ind., (#>—A retired
college professor and a West Point
classmate of President Eisenhow
er are the National Prohibition
Party’s candidates in the 1956 j
national presidential election.
The presidential candidate, who
was chosen by 152 delegates from j
throughout the country at the end
of a three-day convention yester
day, is Dr. Enoch A. Holtquick of
Greenville, 111., professor-emeri
tus of history at Greenville Col
lege. He is 74 years old.
Brig. Gen. Herbert C. Hold
ridge (ret.) 63, of Sherman Oaks,
Calif., is the nominee for vice
president.
A party spokesman said Gen.
Holdridge, a member of the fa
mous Class of 1915 at the U.S.
Military Academy, is known as
the “peace general” because he
has been a long-time opponent of
universal military training.
The candidates said they would
stump the country to put the
name of the Prohibition Party on
the ballot of every state for the
first time in recent history.
The party’s platform denounces
what it calls “the highly capital
ized, strongly organized and so
cially irresponsible liquor indus
try” and calls for “removing the
causes of drinking.”
Organized in 1869, the Prohibi
tion Party reached its greatest
strength in 1892 when 271,000
votes were cast for its candidates.
It has declined in strength since
then.

Army Will Free Man, 59,
Who Went AWOL
2 Years Ago
NEW YORK, W—The Army an
nounced yesterday it will free a
59-year-old man who said he went
“AWOL” while serving as a pri
vate a quarter century ago.
A First Army spokesman said
the Statute of Limitations long
since ran out in the case of Wil
liam F. Lydon. All that can be
done is take his statement and
forward it to Washington to close
out Lydon’s record—if any.
Lydon, a slight, bespectacled
elevator operator, turned up at
First Army headquarters on Gov
ernor’s Island Monday. He told
an MP on duty there:
“I want to give myself up. I’ve
been AWOL from the Army since
1928, and now my conscience
bothers me so much I’ve got to go
in and face it.”
Lydon told Army officials he
enlisted at Boston in 1928 and was
assigned to Fort Scott, R.I. While
on pass one day with other sol
diess, he said, he drank to much
and overstayed his leave by two
days. Ashamed and afraid to face
Army discipline, he decided to
stay away.
