Forest researcher Cajander came to politics in 1922 when President 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 of Defence (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 |accessdate=30 December 2017
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]] were given a utility belt, an [[emblem]] to be attached to the hat — to comply with the [[Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907)|Hague Conventions]] — and, hopefully, a [[rifle]]. Otherwise, they had to use their own clothes and equipment.
