Head, Justice.

¶1 1. “The sworn statement contained in the motion to dismiss, not being denied or otherwise responded to, will be taken as true.” Jones v. Jones, 207 Ga. 698 (63 S. E. 2d 895). The only question and subject matter of the cause having become moot by the actual holding of the election, a reversal of the judgment sustaining the general demurrers to the amended petition would be ineffectual, and the motion to dismiss the writ of error must be sustained. Smith v. Jeffries, 188 Ga. 649 (4 S. E. 2d 637); Abernathy v. Dorsey, 189 Ga. 72 (5 S. E. 2d 39); Brockett v. Maxwell, 200 Ga. 38 (35 S. E. 2d 906); Davison v.
