Atlanta, March 25.—Hon. John C.
Hart of Greene county, former attor
ney general, who resigned last July
to enter the race for governor as the
Independent of non-factfonal candi
date, and who withdrew front the
race shortly before the primary, w.as
In the city today for the purpose of
arguing on behalf of the state the
Georgia Railroad tax case In the Uni
ted States court
Although he has been out of the
attorney general’s office for more
than eight months, Judge Hart is still
representing the state In this litiga
tion and assisting Attorney General
Hewlett A. Hall, for the reason that
It was begun under his administration
of the office, and be is probably more
familiar with it than anyone in the
state's service. For this reason, too,
It is quite likely that Judge Hart will
stay by the case on the part of the
state until its finish.
It has been suggested in several
quarters that Judge Hart should en
ter the race for the United States sen
ate upon the theory that he would
make, probabiy, an acceptable com
promise candidate, thus eliminating
the stubborn and bitter contest which
present indications almost certainly
point.
But nowadays whenever politics or
political affice is mentioned, Judge
Hart shies like a country horse at an
automobile.
"No," said Judge Hart, calmly, de
liberately, ”1 couldn't do it. I wouldn't
know how to go about it.
"Possibly I made a mistake in
breaking away when I did, and in go
ing into the race Just at that time, but
Its done now.
"Also I am done with politics and
shall never again offer as a candidate
for political office.”
That was all Judge Hart had to
say on the subject, though he would
not, perhaps, turn a deaf car to poli
tical honor of the senatorial sort, if
It should voluntarily come his way—
if, in other words, the office should
go on a still bunt for tht man.
