The Provincial States of South Holland elected Kuyper member of the First Chamber to fill the vacancy left by H. Waller (†April 25, 1913). He took the oath of office on September 16, 1913. Kuyper delivered his maiden speech as a member of the First Chamber on January 7, 1914. During deliberations about the 1914 budget for the Dutch East Indies, Kuyper asked that telegrams sent by the minister for colonial affairs to A.W.F. Idenburg, governor of the Dutch East Indies be published (pp. 123–132). The proceedings for February 10 include a letter from Kuyper to the chairman of the First Chamber notifying him of his intended absence (p. 187). He had to travel to Lausanne due to the illness of his daughter, C.M.E. Kuyper (cf. 1985.01, p. 443). In this short note Kuyper also stated that he was completely satisfied with the answers that the minister for colonial affairs had given to the questions he had posed about his telegrams to the governor of the Dutch East Indies.

After the death of the chairman of the First Chamber, J.E.N. Baron Schimmelpenninck van der Oye (†April 11, 1914), Kuyper was made the chairman of the First Chamber until the next session started a month later.
