 Diet members, mostly from liberal faction within the Diet, supported by the Liberal Party of Japan ("Jiyuto") and its offshoots, presented bills to the Diet in 1902, 1903, 1908, 1909 and 1910.The movement finally appeared to succeed in March 1911, when its Universal Suffrage Bill was passed by the lower house only to be summarily rejected by the House of Peers.Increased government hostility towards radical groups broadened in the 1910s, with the implementation of the Peace Preservation Laws and increased censorship and surveillance of suspected radical groups associated with leftist or labor movements.
