RACE TO BE INTERESTING Lines TV 111 Be Drawn Closely la All Contests for State Offices In Washington as Between Hay and Antl - Hay Forces. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 14. (Spe cial.) One of th most Important po litical developments of the past week In th Washington Gubernatorial sit uation Is th announcement of th withdrawal of W. H. Kaufman. As sessor of Whatcom County, from tha race for Governor and his candidacy for Land Commissioner. Kaufman was on of th first to announce his intention of running for Oovernor. He was backed with th Indorsement of the Whatcom County Grange and a numberNof th leading "progressives" of that section. Th granar and "progressives" In other sections of th stat were for John C Lawrence, and Kaufman's decision to drop out of th race Is declared by Lawrence's friends to cement that ele ment In hi favor. Th entry of Kaufman Into th fight for th offlc of Stat Land Commis sioner will make a pretty fight for that position. Kaufman Is a fighter, and he enters the race with consider able backing. Mrs. Maude Tarn bl in has been doing some clever work for sev eral weeks and will have a good back ing, and Perry Nile la a formidable candidate all the time. Itec t He latereetlag. It begins to look as If th lines would be closely drawn In all of th contexts for stat office as between th Hay and anti-Hay forces. An nouncement ha been mad by Gov ernor Hay, that he will open his West Sid headquarter Immediately after the Seattle city election. March I. He will also establish headquarters for th East Sid In Spokan about th uma time. Lawrence also plans to have head quarters In working shape in Seattle shortly after th city election, and It I evident that Seattl and King County will be th battleground. J. E. Frost, State Tax Commissioner, Is still undecided as to making the race for Congress. If be runs, Mr. Frost will try to be elected at large. He says he Is trying to ascertain what th National Issues will be before reaching a decision. Frost naturally will be lined up on the Hay ticket but he I In no apparent hurry to declare his Intentions. Froet Bide His Time. Oovernor Hay has been forced Into an alignment with the Taft forces, and Frost declares ha does not want to com out as a Taft candidate and then have th stat go against the National Administration at tb Republican Na tional convention. Albert Johnson, tha Hoqulam editor, is running as a "progressive," with the reservstlon that he will support Taft and Hay. This sounds Ilk a peculiar combination., but at that Johnson will be a strong candidate and It Is con fidently expected he will make a whirl wind campaign. To date -there ar five announced candidates for the two Republican Congressional nominations at large. These are: Albert Johnson, Hoqulam editor; A. J. Falconer, Ever ett lumberman and State Senator; Harry Rosenhaupt, Spokane lawyer and ex-State Senator; W. J. Bryan, Bremerton lawyer and State Senator, and W. J. Biggar, Belllnsrham lawyer. It Is also certain that E. W. Ross, State Land Commissioner, will enter th race, and Henry B. Dewey, Super intendent of publlo education, probably will mak the seventh candidate. Just at present the rac for the Con gressional nomination from the south west I between Stanton Warburton and James McXeely. This fight has hardly warmed up as yet. Warburton Is In Washington and McXeely Is In California. McXeely is expected home In a few days and will at one mak a tourof th district, giving a good roads lecture. He was the leader of th lower house In th last Legisla ture for good roads legislation. LAWYER'S FEES PROTESTED Oliver Declare) $10,000 Too Much In Morrison Escheat Case. . SALEM. Or.. Feb. 14.

Oliver says tbat th estat was worth no mor than 112.500. and alleges that th at tempt to collect this six attorney's fees la an effort to hold up the stat. George Cochran today filed his declar ation as a candidate for Congress from th Second District.

Mr. Oliver, who was attorney for alleged heirs In th escheat pro ceedings, goes Into extensive detail In his letter In an effort to obtain a de crease la th demand for attorneys' fees.
