Harry Stewart New (December 31, 1858 – May 9, 1937) was a U.S. journalist and political figure. He served as the chairman of the Republican National Committee between 1907 and 1908. He served as the Postmaster General from 1923 to 1929. Before that, he served as U.S. Senator from Indiana from 1917 until 1923.
In his relatively lengthy term as postmaster general, New proposed two influential ideas - the honoring of distinguished Americans with stamps, and flavored glue on the back of stamps. New, a secret "wet" in Hoover's pro-Prohibition administration, even commissioned a gin-flavored stamp that never made it to production.
