Wrong guy - John G. Schmitz ran in the same party (and the same general idea) as Wallace (American Independence Party), but was not, himself, George Wallace.

My mistake. WIkipedia has George Wallace pictured under the third party section of the 1972 election article and I just assumed that it was Wallace that ran. Apparently he ran for the Democratic primary in 72, so I don't know why he's pictured in the section on third parties.
