Help please if possible with a bit of the bottom half of today's puzzle. I get the phrase and what to alter but am stuck on 32d, the letter needed for 28d (although I have the answer I can't see what to change) and am unsure about 25d.
Clue 32d reads "in approach this old side would be irresistible (4) (one letter misprint in definition) I have ?ELL.

32 I think irresistible is com-pell-ing
28 cut not put
and 25 refers to an elephant

Thank you so much. Can you parse 25 for me? I don't know what letter I am changing. I had guessed elephant....

25 D . A trumpeter's spite bears this moderation moderation unionist knew about (6).

My change is in the third word in the clue.

That's my trouble. I know what the answer is but not how to change the third word.
