We give an action integral L (x,X,A/sub ..mu../,..cap alpha../sub ..mu../). The stability of L against the variations deltaA/sub ..mu../(xi), delta..cap alpha../sub ..mu../(xi), deltax/sub ..mu../(theta), and deltaX/sub ..mu../(tau) gives us the coupled Maxwell equations and the Lorentz-Dirac equation for the positron and monopole.
