While the latter formed the Daido Kyowakai, the former insisted on developing a political movement as a Seisha, and in May gathered representatives from all over the country in Tokyo to form the Daido Club. They advocated the realization of national independence, a responsible cabinet system, financial consolidation and rest for the people, the completion of local autonomy, and freedom of speech and assembly, and were led by Kono Hironaka, Suehiro Shigeyasu, and Oishi Masami.
