SAYS DUNCAN HAS A CHANCE.
Representative Farley Believes
He Can Defeat Cochran.

Representative John W. Farley of Platte
County. cashier of the New York Club at
the Delmar race track. said yesterday
that If Representative A B. Duncan OF
st. Joseph should decide to run for Con-
gress in the Fourth District against Mont
Cochran he would be successful.
Farley has been against Circuit Attorney
Folk for the gubernatoriaI nomination
from the beginning. and insisted that he
and his county would be for Reed of Kan
sas City. Paltte County is one of the six
counties in the Fourth District. and. with
Buchanan. can control the Democratic
nomination for Congress.
Duncan" said Representative Farley
yesterday. can carry my county 1 am
sure. Since Cochran has declared for Folk
We are against him. Duncan's partner.
Ctz. is member of the st. Joseph Police
Board, and. of course. would help him.
Besides, Duncan introduced and passed an
excise bill a the last session OF the Cen
eral Assembly which places the issuance
of all licenses under the control of the
Police Board. You see what hold this
gives DUNCAN. He would have the ma
chine with him. and then it would be up to
Cochran to get the other counties. as well
as Platte"
