Leonard Schlup examines the vice presidential candidates in the 1900 presidential campaign: Theodore Roosevelt for the Republicans and Adlai E. Stevenson for the Democrats. Schlup explains that Roosevelt was a younger, more dynamic figure than his running mate President William McKinley while Stevenson was an older, more reserved personality than his running mate William Jennings Bryan. Schlup looks at the background of each candidate, and he notes their approaches to the office for which they were vying. He highlights their very different positions on the topic of imperialism, with Stevenson adopting an anti-imperial position.
A Republican campaign poster, a photograph of Stevenson, and two political cartoons from the 1900 campaign illustrate the article. A listing of the leadership of the Theodore Roosevelt Association appears on the second page of the article.
