NEW, HARRY S SIGNED CARD, POSTMASTER GENERAL, INDIANA SENATOR, HARDING, COOLIDGE

Harry Stewart New (1858-1937) Signed Card, "Harry S. New", 4 x 2.5, with "The Postmaster General" printed at top, by the U.S. politician, journalist, and Spanish–American War veteran. He served as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, a United States Senator from Indiana, and United States Postmaster General under Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. 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: He was defeated for re-election. In fine condition, with minor age toning.
