“We want them to be Republican because of what we mean to do for the United States of America”
1920s, Nationalism and Americanism (1920)
Kontextus: The misfortune is not alone that it rends the concord of nations. The greater pity is that it rends the concord of our citizenship at home. It's folly to think of blending Greek and Bulgar, Italian and Slovak, or making any of them rejoicingly American, when the land of adoption sits in judgement on the land from which he came. We need to be rescued from divisionary and fruitless pursuit of peace through super government. I do not want Americans of foreign birth making their party alignments on what we mean to do for some nation in the old world. We want them to be Republican because of what we mean to do for the United States of America. Our call is for unison, not rivaling sympathies. Our need is concord, not the antipathies of long inheritance.

“I don't know much about Americanism, but it's a damn good word with which to carry an election.”
Actually an exchange between journalist Talcott Williams and Sen. Boies Penrose (1919)
What is Americanism?
Damn if I know, but it's going to be a damn good word with which to carry an election.
