REPLY TO CHARGES
AIRCRAFTMAN SCRIMGEOUR. MEETINGS IN WELLINGTON. (By Telegraph—Press AssociationAf WELLINGTON, This DJy. Three thousand three hundred people —the capacity seating of the De Luxe and Paramount Theatres, Wellington—last night heard Aircraftman C. G. Scrimgeour, Independent candidate for Wellington Central, reply to charges made against him in the House of Representatives by the Prime Minister and member for Wellington Central, Mr Fraser. Mr Scrimgeour described the use of a recording to discredit him as tantamount to a man peeping through the keyhole of another's bathroom and then charging him with indecent exposure. He challenged the Prime Minister to allow him the use of the radio to reply to the charges levelled in the House and .broadcast. There was a good reception for him at both meetings: at the first, the De Luxe, he was received with a good round of clapping and some cheering. Most of the audience seemed to be there in neutral vein, wanting to hear what the candidate had to say and what disclosures he would make in his defence. They gave him a good hearing. Interjections were few and not organised.
