In late March 1922, New became the first senator to use [[radio]] in his campaign—at that time, [[broadcasting]] a political speech was not widely done by candidates.<ref>"Will Campaign by Radio." ''Lexington KY Herald'', 30 March 1922, p. 1</ref> His speech was transmitted by a U.S. Navy station, NOF in Washington, D.C., which immediately caused a complaint by Democrats about a government station being used for partisan purposes. This in turn quickly led to a ban on further use of the station for political activities.<ref>[http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1922-04-09/ed-1/seq-9/ "Denby Bars Political Speeches From All Naval Radio Stations"], ''New York Tribune'', April 9, 1922, page 9.</ref> ▼
