'''Harry Stewart New''' (December 31, 1858 &ndash;– May 9, 1937) was a [[United States|U.S.]] [[politician]], [[journalist]], and [[Spanish-AmericanSpanish–American War]] veteran.

Harry Stewart New was born in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]] on December 31, 1858, the son of [[John C. New]] and his wife, Melissa (Beeler) New. He attended [[Butler University]] before going to work with the ''[[Indianapolis Journal]]'' where he was a reporter, editor, part owner, and publisher from 1878 to 1903. He served in the [[Indiana State Senate]] from 1896 to 1900 and served in the [[Spanish-AmericanSpanish–American War]] as captain and assistant adjutant general of the 7th Army Corps. He was a member of the [[Republican National Committee]] from 1900 to 1912, serving as chairman from 1907 to 1908, and later engaged in the stone quarrying and construction business.

In late March 1922, New became one of the first senators to use [[radio]] in his campaign—at that time, [[broadcasting]] a political speech was not widely done by candidates. (“Will<ref>"Will Campaign by Radio." ''Lexington KY Herald'', 30 March 1922, p.&nbsp;1) </ref> New was defeated by [[Albert J. Beveridge]] for renomination in 1922 who lost the general election to [[Samuel M. Ralston]]. He was then appointed [[United States Postmaster General|Postmaster General]] in the [[United States Cabinet|cabinet]] of [[President of the United States|President]] [[Warren G. Harding]] in 1923 and was reappointed by [[Calvin Coolidge]] in 1925.
