Dry party candidate’s kin called drunken driver

Los Angeles, California (UP) –
C. Arthur Watson, brother of the candidate for President on the Prohibition Party ticket, awaited a hearing today on a drunk driving charge.

Watson, a radiographer, did not say whether he would vote for his brother in the next election.

Watson’s attorney said he hadn’t realized what the effects of a cocktail taken after cough drops would be. The effects included an auto accident.
