Commissioner of Pensions Ware spent a week at the Grand Army of the Republic National Encampment. He reports that the pension attorneys and pensioners are “in just as good shape as human effort can get them,” noting that no principles had to be sacrificed to achieve this result. Many of the old soldiers favor President Roosevelt in the upcoming election. Ware encloses a clipping of General John Charles Black’s address to the Grand Army of the Republic.
