ET: Please extend my heartfelt gratitude to the electoral association. At my lonely post I need the loyalty and love of the brethren twice as much.

Wil aan de kiesvereeniging mijn hartelijke dank overbrengen. Op mijn eenzamen post heb ik de trouw en liefde der broederen zoo dubbel noodig. Kuyper.

Kuyper’s answer to a telegram sent by the Central Anti-Revolutionary Electoral Association in the electoral district of Emmen, which held a meeting on October 26, 1904 in Nieuw Amsterdam. In its telegram the electoral association had thanked Kuyper for his achievements as prime minister and had wished him the Lord’s strength to “carry on building legislation according to the principles of our national life.”

Kuyper’s response gave the socialist and caricaturist Albert Hahn (1877–1918) the idea for a caricature showing Kuyper as a sentry dressed in a top hat and equipped with rifle and bayonet, guarding the capital (depicted as a safe within a small temple) alone on a fortified, darkened height. See also 1909.07, page [17], and plate 11 in Prenten van Albert Hahn Sr. (cf. 1928.10).
