The State, ex rel. Robinson, Appellant, v. Brown, Secy. of State, Appellee.
(No. 33266
Decided October 22, 1952.)
Mr. George S. Hawke, for appellant.
Mr. C. William O’Neill, attorney general, and Mr. Joseph S. Gill, for appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
In prescribing the form of the presidential ballot, the Secretary of State, in following the statutes, performs solely a ministerial duty and is in no way acting in a judicial or quasi-judicial capacity. Therefore, the remedy of prohibition is not available.
The judgment of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
