Until a state officer-elect has qualified according to law he has no greater privilege of access to the affairs of the office than any other private citizen; and the incumbent in lawful possession of the office cannot be compelled by mandamus to permit the officer-elect to make an audit of such office before the latter has given his official bond and had it approved in conformity with the pertinent statutes.
