Taft and Roosevelt had distinct campaign platforms that reflected their differing approaches to progressive reform. Roosevelt's platform, known as the "Square Deal," emphasized strong government intervention to regulate corporations, protect consumers, and conserve Natural Resources. In contrast, Taft's platform focused on the rule of law and judicial processes, advocating for more cautious reforms and emphasizing tariff reductions and anti-trust measures. While both were progressives, Roosevelt was more aggressive in pursuing reforms, whereas Taft preferred a more restrained approach.
