In this short editorial, entitled “Tegen McKinley” [Against McKinley], Kuyper urges Americans of Dutch origin in Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to vote against President William McKinley. Referring to his visit to the White House in 1898, Kuyper bases his advice on McKinley’s refusal to intervene in the Boer War. He also remarks in passing that he would have joined the Republican party (cf. 1898.18) if he had emigrated to America.

The asterism is taken from De Standaard 29 (1900), no. 8738, September 14, 1900. The pamphlet in which it was republished contains articles reprinted in part or in full by various pro-Boer partisans. The collection was probably published in the final quarter of 1900 during the lead-up to the presidential elections in November. McKinley was reelected; however, he was assassinated less than a year later.
