New US Currency to Be Standardized and Smaller in Size
Washington announces a plan to issue standardized green back currency about two thirds the size of present bills. Eleven denominations will feature different patriots on the front and distinct backs, with notable security and production efficiency gains. The rollout will be gradual as old notes are retired. Mrs. Gertrude Pattangall, wife of Maine Justice Pattangall, plans to back the Republican ticket citing prohibition as a central issue. Prohibition and farm relief emerge as major campaign topics with Republicans asserting strong support for the Eighteenth Amendment. Maine may grow as a nursery state amid economic optimism and industry.
