On one hand, you have populist William Jennings Bryan, campaigning once again on silver and such. Other than differences on currency, he and President Weaver have been valuable allies to each other. On the other side is hero of the Spanish-American War George Dewey. The Spanish-American War was a war that took place in Cuba in which America, horrified at what, according to the Hearst newspapers, Spain was doing to its subjects, was able to wrest independence for the nation. A very successful war, nonetheless, some have cried that it was imperialism, despite President Weaver not taking the chance to seize multitudes of other Spanish colonies and possessions. Dewey is running as the war hero (with the backing of some Bourbons) and Bryan as the party's great legislator.
As usual, voice any preference for a Vice Presidential candidate.
