Forest researcher Cajander came tointo politics in 1922 when presidentPresident Ståhlberg asked him to take office of prime minister. He had not earlier participated actively in politics. Ståhlberg invited him as prime minister second time in January 1924. Cajander's short-lived cabinets were merely caretakers before parliamentary elections.
 
Cajander joined in 1927 [[National Progressive Party (Finland)|National Progressive Party]] and in 1928 he was chosen as minister[[Minister of defenceDefence (Finland)|Minister of Defence]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://valtioneuvosto.fi/tietoa/historiaa/hallitukset-ja-ministerit/raportti/-/r/v9l/11 |title=Council of State - Ministers of Defence|publisher=Valtioneuvosto.fi |access-date=30 December 2017 }}</ref> Cajander was elected to the Parliament in 1929. When Kyösti Kallio was elected Presidentpresident in 1937, Cajander was asked as the chairman of the National Progressive Party to form majority government. Cajander formed a coalition government of the two largest parties in the parliament - Social Democrats and Agrarian League. Cajander was idealist who did not believe yet in August 1939 that Soviet Union would attack Finland. Partly for this reason the Finnish Army was forced to the fight inadequately equipped. He died in [[Helsinki]], aged 63.
 
Cajander's name is remembered for "Model Cajander", the fashion of many Finnish soldiers in [[Winter War]]: the army was poorly equipped, so [[Conscription|conscripts]]mobilized reserves were given a utility belt, an [[emblem]] to be attached to the hat &mdash; to comply with the [[Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907)|Hague Conventions]] &mdash; and, hopefully, a [[rifle]]. Otherwise, they had to use their own clothes and equipment.
