This paper is a review article about an important dispute on spatial theories of voting in mass elections. Especially, we focus upon Stuart Macdonald & George Rabinowitz's Directional Model and Proximity Model, which Anders Westholm reformed. We rate the dispute highly because it makes contribution to comparative election studies in using survey research data. These models are adaptable to data as well as able to give us not only some explanations of voting behavior but also causal inference of party strategy.　The component of dispute is available for the positive election students. However, the stage of dispute between proximity and directional voting covered several journals, it is trouble to trace footprints of each advocate and supporter. The author tried 'a traffic control' of the controversy to be helpful to positive political scientists.
