The opinion
Per Curiam.
Alternative Writ of Mandamus issued to the respondents commanding them “to forthwith meet together and assemble and convene as the Board of County Commissioners of Volusia County, Florida, and thereupon immediately cause to be printed on the official ballots to be used in Volusia County, Florida, at the General Election to be held on November 8th, A. D. 1932, only the name of Dawson Brown, Jr., as a candidate for the office of County Commissioner from District No. 3, Volusia County, Florida, and to cause the said official ballots to be printed so that the name of Milton Jones will not appear or be printed thereon as a candidate for the office of County Commissioner from District No. 3, Volusia County, Florida, and to do and perform all other things incidental in carrying out and accomplishing the primary purpose of this writ;” or that they show cause, etc.

Respondents filed demurrer, motion to quash and return.
The record shows that the name of Dawson Brown, Jr., was the only name that had been certified to the Board' of County Commissioners as a nominee or candidate for the office of County Commissioner from County Commissioners’ District No. 3 of Volusia County, not more than sixty days nor less than twenty days previous to the day of election.
The record shows that the first certificate, demand or effort presented to the Board pf County Commissioners of Volusia County seeking to get the name of Milton Jones printed on the 'General Election Ballots to be used in the General Election on November 8th, 1932, as the nominee of the Republican Party, was presented on October 22nd, 1932. That no action had theretofore been taken or pursued to accomplish this end. And the record further shows that the nomination, if any was made, by which Milton Jones became the nominee of the Republican Party did not occur until within twenty days of the date of the General Election.
Under this state of facts, it is the statutory duty of the Board of County Commissioners to cause the ballots to be used in the General Election in Volusia County to be held on November 8th, 1932, to be printed with only the name of Dawson Brown, Jr., printed thereon as a candidate for the office of County Commissioner for County Commissioners’ District No. 3 of said County. See Section 1, Chapter 14657, Acts of 1931.
It becomes unnecessary to discuss any other question presented.
The motion to quash is denied; the demurrer is overruled and the return is held insufficient. The peremptory writ should issue.
It is so ordered.
