Original Toronto Star caption: Sign of the times. As Monday's civic election draws closer; poster space is becoming precious. And this wall; at King and John Sts.; is a standout. Two of the candidates for mayor of Toronto; Tony O'Donohue and David Smith are there; vying for votes. But where's John Sewell? This busy passerby doesn't have time to wonder.
