In his capacity as chairman of the Central Committee of Anti-Revolutionary Electoral Associations, Kuyper wrote a letter to the editor of De Standaard in response to an allegation by A.F. de Savornin Lohman. In his open letter Aan Dr. A. Kuyper. Een valsche leuze (’s Gravenhage, 1894), De Savornin Lohman charged that Kuyper had imperiously and unjustifiably left him off the official list of candidates. In this letter Kuyper dismisses the allegation, noting that the Central Committee had not endorsed an official list of candidates because of internal disagreements about the extension of the franchise. He opines that De Savornin Lohman had likely mistaken a “completely private list” published in De Standaard for an official list.
