The governor's election comes tn the fall of 1991 At least two other Republicans have publicly announced their interest in running against Johnston Secretary of State Fox McKeithen and state Sen.

In a "personal note" from Duke that is a part of the brochure signed by Farrell, Duke said he talked to a political analyst about winning "a race for the S. Senate or governor." Duke said he won't need as much money as his opponent, but it will take for mailings, and more for television, campaign signs, telephone banks and other expenses.
