PARIS ON s OUT FOR
 COX
One of the Strongest of the New York Repub- lican Leaders Repu- diates H a r d i n g s Scrapping of t h e League-Expect Oth- CTS to Follow.

No greater surprise nor more s1g- nificant thing has occurred during the present presidential campalSn than the announcement yesterday by Herbert Parsons of New York city:
 ''It is my intention Co vote for Cox for President. I am for the League of Nations.''
 In short, this means that Senator Harding has repudiated the League of Nations and MT. Parsons has repu- diated Harding. It will be strange if MT. Parsons action is not followed by similar action on the part or prominent Republicans who are for ! the League of Nations. now that Sem ator Harding has gone over to the camp of Johnson and Borah.
 MT. Parsons has been a Republican of the Republicans, he has been a. Republican represe ntative in Con gross; he is a former Republican ma tional committeeman, former chair man of the New York County Repub- lican committee, and credited with having been the most influential member of the New York Republican organization for many yearsa
 In a letter to Samuel $. koen1g, chairman of the Republican county committee with offices at 105 West 10th street, he tenders his resignation as a member of the Republican County Committee, because mo longer being a Republican under the law" he intends to vote for Cox.

 AIDED THE GERMANS
That is the Charge of Lloyd George in Promising
 Stern Measures. @

Carnarvon Wales, Oct. - The sensational charge that Ireland as- sisted Germany in her submarine campaign during the world war was made here today by Premier Lloyd George.
 The astounding statement by the premier was made in a speech on the Irish situation, while attacking the proposal to confer the Dominion rule upon Ireland, the Premier said:
 ''I did not tell you during the war but I know that Ireland assisted the Germans in their submarine cam. paign."
 We must break up the murder gang that is tyrannizing Ireland. but simultaneously we will proceed with measures for complete self-govern- ment by the Irish people, said Pre- mier Lloyd George in a speech here today.
 We must restoge order. however stern our methods may be. We cannot permit debasement and com- plete anarchy in Ireland.''

HOOVER JOINS : THE REPUBLICANS

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 9-The League of Nations and tariff prob lens, are only subdivisions of main issues in the present campaign, Her bert Hoover declared here today in an address which marked his formal entry into the campaign to elect the Republican national ticket.
 t'The major issue, today and for the future of our country MT. Hoov- CT said, "is party responsibility"
 'tAs ours is a government that must be based on parties" he said, "it is fundamental that when a party fails in sta atesmanship or fails to car= ry out its promises it must accept the penalties of that failure it should be retired that it's leadership may be re- formed.
 '.This is the real issue, and is in- mensely more deeply seated than su- perficial partisansbip.
 q believe thaf~since the armistice the present administration has made a failure by all the tests that we can apply. No man would be@s narrow as to condemn the patriotism of one half of his countrymen.
 "But if we are to maintain and sustain party government, if we are to hold true. our only means of ex- pression of the will of the majority. any party that fails as a party should and must be retired from office.''
