George Lockwood "If the Spirit of 'E Pluribus Unum' Is lost, America Is Lost" Graphic Motivational Tee

George Browning Lockwood, author of the book, "Americanism," published in 1921, was Secretary to U.S. Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks. He acquired the Muncie Evening Press in 1912 and subsequently established the "Indiana State Journal" which became the "National Republican" in 1914. Relocating to Washington, the journal became the semiofficial organ of the Republican party. In the 1920's, the now monthly journal was renamed the "National Republic." 

Because of his close association with party leaders, Lockwood served as secretary of the Republican National Committee from 1922 to 1924, and subsequently as director of the Washington headquarters of the Hoover for President Club which supervised Hoover's national nomination campaign. 

Lockwood remained in Washington as publisher of the "National Republic" until his death in 1932. News of his death also brought expressions of sorrow and sympathy from President Hoover, Senator James Watson, Senator Arthur Capper and others. The editor-in-chief of the Washington Post, Mr. Bennett, wrote, "I availed myself of every opportunity to read his writings. He was never interested in public office for himself, but he was ever interested in promoting those who stood for sound doctrines."

Mr. Lockwood, in "Americanism," wrote that, "If the spirit of "e pluribus unum" is lost, America is lost."  Our country can't be a loose confederation of tribes.  It must be united as one.  Celebrate a great man with a great shirt!
