Syllabus

Elections—Mandamus—Petitioners failed to file an initiative petition in compliance with R.C. 731.28 by replacing first page of part-petitions after obtaining signatures—Petition as filed does not comply with R.C. 731.31, because each filed part-petition includes a title that was not presented to electors who signed it—Secretary of state and county board of elections abused their discretion and disregarded the law in overruling relators' protest—Writ sustaining relators' protest and removing initiative from general-election ballot granted.
