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.
