Sickles Denies Evans Reappointment For Pension Bureau
General Daniel Sickles says President McKinley planned Evans retirement last March and notes a proposed successor name discussed by the President. He asserts a pension reform panel found Evans not expedient for reappointment and claims veterans and widows oppose Evans due to perceived unfairness, technicalism, and spying in pension matters. He clarifies he is not backing any candidate and has informed the President, dismissing the matter publicly.
