a District Attorney in virginia Resign 5
by Request.

by Request.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Whatever doubt
may have existed as to the course of the
administration with reference TO the en-.
forcement of the rule against officers of
the government especially those in any
way connected with the judicial branch.
actlvely engaging in political campaigns,
was dlssipated yesterday by the action of
Attorney General Harmon in accepting
the resignation of Francis Il. Lassiter,
United StatW attorney for the Eastern dis
trict of Virginia. Complaints had reached
the department of justice that Mr.. Lassiter
was acting as chairman of campaign
committee and otherwise taking promi-
nent and active part in the practical poll
tics of his district. In letters TO Mr. Las
sitter Judge Harmon says in part
Whatever rule may prevail In other
departments II Is well settled in this, that
there Is an impropriety in officers like you
acting as committeeman to manage and
conduct political campaigns. The reasons
are so manifest that they should not re-
quire more than a mere suggestion. As
United States attorney you determine
who to prosecute and whom not to prose-
cute You conduct or recommend the
discontinuance of prosecutions already
commenced You have admission to the
grand jury room, and indictments are
found or refused largely upon your office.
Your political work necessarily brings
you in direct contact with people of all
classes, whose assistance you seek 10 gain
or whose opposition you seek to overcome
1t is impossible for you to do and to have
done the work which devolves on mem
bers Of campaign committee, especially
in times Of high feeling and great excite
ment, without gatheringa a crop of friendly
and unfriendly feelings which, as common
experience teaches, very often have an
unconscious influence on thought and ac-
tion. II is more than likely that some of
the persons with whom your political ac-
tion so brings you in contact will be in
volved in your future official action.
THE fact that you were known as man
of active political habits when you were
appointed is irrelevant, because the ques-
tion now concerns your conduct while in
office. The knowledge of the fact by the
people of your district merely serves to
emphasize the danger and impropriety of
your carrying into political contests the
weight and authority of your office"
