Head Matter:
STATE ex SNYDER v LEITER
Ohio Appeals, 2nd Dist, Montgomery Co
No. 1028.
Decided May 20, 1931
Matthews & Matthews, Dayton, for Snyder.
Thomas, Hyer & Leyland, Dayton, for Leiter.

Opinion:
BY THE COURT.
We are also of opinion that while the relator may be a de facto officer he cannot be considered as a de. jure officer as he has failed to qualify in the manner provided by the Code of Ohio.
Under the authorities cited the relator must show a prima facie right to the office claimed and such right cannot be based on the fact that he is a de facto officer. The petition must therefore be dismissed.
ALLREAD, PJ, HORNBECK and KUNKLE, JJ, concur.
