Bridges Picks Hawks
To Steer Campaign
For Presidency
Manager Says Race
Will Stress Youth
Role in Government
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
A couple of Republicans just out of
their 3O's teamed up yesterday for
the purpose of electing Senator H.
Styles Bridges of New Hampshire
the next President of the United
States.
One was Senator Bridges himself,
just past Al, and the other was Rep
resentative Charles Hawks, jr.. of
Horizon, Wis, a flrst-term member
OF the House, who turned 40 only
last month.
Mr.. Hawks, somewhat mystifed
that Senator Bridges had selected
him as his campaign manager, sat
in his office and outlined the objec-
tivas and methods of the campaign.
He indicated that accent on youth
would be the keynote The Senator
is preparing for whirlwind speak
ing campaign this fall, which, unless
plans go aWly. will carry his uncom-
promising anti-NeW Deal views to
audiences from the Middle West to
the Pacific Coast and back. SEN
ator Bridges now is in New Hamp-
shire preparing his speeches.
We want Mr.. Hawks said ito
interest the young people of the
country in their Government. And
l think we can do it."
Unlike most candidates. Senator
Bridges will have no opening an
nouncement to make, Mr.. Hawks
said. The forthcoming speaking trip
will be sufficient for that, he added.
Nor, he continued, will there be
an effort to obtain pledged delegates
to next years Republican Conven-
ton.
I'VE would prefer" he said that
the delegates be unpledged. What
we hope to do is to make friends
among them"
The Senator's campaign is being
financed lin the usual way-by con-
tributlonS," Mr. Hawks said. These,
he added. have already been re-
ceived from all over the country.
In Congress Senator Bridges has
been known first of all as a gad-fiy
to the New Deal A speciality Of
his has been a series of 2O-minute
speeches seizing upon what he con-
slders some vulnerable spot in the
administration defenses, and pierre
ing it with oratory.
AS Mr. Hawks outlined it today,
the Senator's Western trip, with
additions still to be made. is to in
clude appearances at Des Moines,
Iowa; Omaha, Nebr.; Colorado
Springs, Colo; San Francisco. Los
Angeles, Portland. Greg: Enid,
Okla; Kansas City, and St. Louis.
The dates will be announced later.
