Gentlemen: I hereby announce that I will be a candidate at the coming primary election for the Republican nomination for Sheriff. Having had the police experience of serving as deputy sheriff of several districts of these islands, and the legislative experience of five successive terms, besides being a practicing attorney, I am confident that, if elected, I shall be able to conduct the office of Sheriff with both intelligence and efficiency.
Your obedient servant,
WILLIAM J. SHELDON.

This is but one example of the coverage of the funeral. I have seen cases where pages were dropped out from the online images before, but I wonder how often total sections are left out.]

To the Voters of the County of Maui.
Gentlemen: Upon the urgent request of my many friends throughout this county, to be a candidate for the House of Representatives on the Republican ticket at the coming primary, I hereby announce myself a candidate from the Hana District.
My principles and policies are to support each and every plank of the Republican Platform as adopted by the convention held for that purpose at Honolulu of which convention I was a member.
I boast not of experience, but with what little education, ability and zeal I possess, I assure you, and am confident, with your support at the polls, of upholding our motto of “Maui No Ka Oi.”
