After Russo-Japanese War until a period of World War I, active political movement of youth was developed around Imperial Diet (I called it ”INGAI-SEINEN” movement). This paper examined relations with the election and the ”INGAI-SEINEN” movement, and the representative who got his position through the movement as an example in Shogo SUZUKI and Takejiro NISHIOKA. In addition, I examined the election campaign and ground of the ”small hero” model representative under universal suffrage and the multiseat constituency system. Thereby, following points became clear. ① Some stages of ”INGAI-SEI NEN” movement were linked the election closely. ② Comparing the characteristics of the ”INGAI-SEINEN” period with the positionality of the representative period, SUZUKI and NISHIOKA were in contrastive relations. ③ However, both were typical ”small hero” model representative who had the prominent speech skill or the novel election tactics. And both had the agreed and consistent recognition about the parliamentary government.
