Seven articles reprinting a series entitled And Now the Ballot Box (I–VII) from De Standaard 38 (1909), no. 11411, June 2, 1909–no. 11418, June 10, 1909 (with one interruption). The articles were published together as a brochure under the new title Voor den slag even before the final article in the newspaper series had appeared. Headings were supplied for every article in the brochure. This brochure, which discusses important electoral issues, represented a final contribution to the Anti-Revolutionary political campaign in the period just prior to the contest that would determine the outcome of the general elections for the Second Chamber on June 12, 1909. It was published as part of a series of political pamphlets entitled Om het roer van Staat. During the six months prior to the election, eight issues in the series were published.

The asterism “Om ’t roer van Staat” [For the helm of the state] from De Standaard (no. 11333, February 26, 1909), which recommended this series, was published on the back of the front cover. During the election campaign the Anti-Revolutionaries aimed to maintain the Heemkerk cabinet “for the helm of the state.”
