Parsons Out for Cox Shocks Republican Party
Herbert Parsons of New York city announced he will vote for Cox for President, repudiating Harding and the League of Nations. The move signals a potential shift by other prominent Republicans toward the Johnson camp as Stardling aligns with that side. Parsons, long a key figure in New York Republican leadership, resigns from the county committee, declaring he is no longer a Republican under the law and will back Cox.
