In the article SIR SAM STEPS DOWN!, the author is trying to influence the audience that criticism from Quebec was to blame for the dissmissal of the able, competent, hounorable Minister of Militia, Sam Hughes. The audience, being made up of English speaking people from Ontario would most likely share a similar viewpoint. The writter defends Hughes by reflecting on his achievements. The writter states that “Hughes has done more for the war effort than any other Canadian. He has recruited thousands of volunteers and raised thousands of dollars.”
The writter further defends Sam Hughes by providing facts about his work as Minister of Militia. When Canada entered the war they only had 3000 enrolled in the armed forces, but by the end of 1915
