dissenting. Ferguson (173 Ohio St. 317) involved clearly defective declarations of candidacy and petitions. Even so, the per curiam language of Ferguson, as quoted in the majority opinion in this case, does not require the result reached here. No statute and no judicial language presented to us forbids the use of identical copies of an original declaration or requires the original to be filed.
Duncan and Stern, JJ., concur in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
