LEAGUERS
REJECT. MYLOO
FOR SHR|EVALTY
Endorsement Is Given John v.
Diefenthaler After a
Warm Fight.

JJhn ". Diefenthaler was Endorsed as
candidate for sheriff last night by the
woodrow Wilson League. which turned
down Assemblyman James P. Mylod,
of Glen Ridge. Mylod didn't have a
look-in from the start. The league
leaders had previously decided among
themselves that Diefenthaler should be
the man.
Both Mr.. D~iefenthaier and Mr.. Mylod
were present at the meeting. The ad-
herents of the Glen Ridge man made a
straightout fight for the recommends
ton of both men to the voters OF Essex
county, the primaries to decide the
issue between them. They argued that
this was the spirit of the direct-pri-
mary law and that no organization had
a right to attempt to dictate where
there was a difference of opinion as to
who should be the candidates. The
l1ylod men put UP the same | of a
fight against inside domination as the
Progressive Republicans recently made
against the Endorsement of candidates
in the Republican County Committee,
and upon the same principles.
Mr.. Mylod himself warned the Wilson
machine that the rejection of the reso-
luton to approve of both ~shrievalty
candidates meant the breaking of the
league, while its adoption meant the
making of the league.
Assemblymen Frank A. Boettner and
Edward d. Balentine, colleagues of
Mylod In the last Legislature, both
voted against him..
The fight was on as soon as resolu-
tons were introduced on behalf Of the
executive committee providing for the
Endorsement of Diefenthaler. Andrew
l.. Boylan, of B~elleville, offered SUBJ
stitute resolutions providing that both
Diefenthaler and Mylod be recon-
mended to The voters of Essex as suit
able candidates for sheriff. The argu-
ments of the Mylod supporters were
vain, however, and they were voted
down, 40 to 90.
Mr.. Diefenthaler himself took part
in the discussion. He said that he
wouldn't run at all unless he got the
Endorsement of the league.
Mr.. Mylod said after the meeting
that he thought the league was fight
ing for a principle, but that it's action
on the shrlevalty indicated otherwise.
Mr.. Di~efenthaler had been a candi-
date for the Endorsement of the regu-
lar organization for the shrieyalty
nomination and was present at the
meeting OF the district committees at
which the Endorsement was given to
John F. Monahan. Mr.. Diefenthaler
was placed In nomination at that ses-
sion by his own district and he re-
ceived several votes. There is much
criticism by the Mylod men in the
Wilson league of the taking up of a
candidate who la previously showed
his anxiety for the regular n%ofnina-
ton and who took part In the councils
of the organizations that gave the
Endorsement to Mr.. Monahan.
