The legislature since the last biennial township and municipal elections lias changed the law respecting the filing of: petitions by candidates seeking office. Petitions were previously required to be filed two weeks before the election, at which the candidate sought office- .The new provision lr. the election law for township offices sets Feb. 3 as the first day on which to file petitions and Feb. 28 as the last day to file with the town clerk. Candidates seeking city offices are required to file petitions thirty days "before the election at which they are candidates instead of fifteen days as was the requirement in yeats past. These petitions are filed with the city clerk.- .
