-EGI0N MEN HIT BY RULING
National Judge Advocate Decides Or
ganization Officer Ineligible If
Holding Public Office.

A decision of far-reaching impor-
lance as affecting the participation in
politics of men holding Office in the
American Legion has just been hand
ed down by Robert A. Adams, ma
tional judge advocate of the Legion, in
response to an inquiry from the Inter
Post Council of Los Angeles, Cal.
At its annual election held in De-
cember a Los Angeles post elected
Claiming Toilette as commander for
1921. A short time afterwards Fol-
lette was appointed justice Of the
peace by the board of supervisors Of
Los Angeles county.
The question arose whether, in view
of the fact that Toilette had been ap-
pointed to an Office which, in its ma
ture, except In the matter of filling
vacancies, is an elective, salaried pub
lie Office, he was eligible to serve as
an officer of the Legion.
In his official ruling, the national
judge advocate says:
'This being a salaried, elective pub
lie office, 1t is my opinion that the
method of filling vacancy is not es-
sential in determining the eligibility
Of Legionaire holding such office.
The office is elective, although the case
with which we deal is that of an ap-
pointment.
"rhe purpose of the constitutional
provision is of course, to prevent, SO
far as possible, the use by a member
of the Legion of his Legion member
ship In furthering a political career.
Consequently, the effect Of an ap-
pointment Is In no wise dissimilar
from an election, and 1t is my opinion
that the incumbent is, by the accept
ance of his office, rendered ineligible
for the office of the American Legion"
1t is believed that many Legion
members, appointed to political offices
will be affected by this ruling.
