The proponents of the initiative petition caused to be filed in the office of the clerk of the court said initiative iDetition, with exhibits, the protest, the journal entry of judg ment, notice of appeal, and petition for review of findings and judgment of the city clerk. Later a stipulation of attorneys was filed.

The petition for review, etc., filed hy proponents states that the findings and judgment of the city clerk “* * * are not according to the Constitution of the state of Oklahoma, for the reason that the findings and judgment are not according to the statutes in such cases made, and for the reason that the findings and judgment rendered in this matter are contrary to law and evidence. * * *”

The proponents have not filed a brief in support of their contentions on appeal.
