 Washington, Jan. 31-Factional diff ferences are being famed to fever eeat throughout the United States as Republican and Democratic political generals line up their forces for pri- mary campaigns to be held during the next seven months to nominate can- fidaItes for the general congressional elections in November.
 Thirty-three members of the Senate will ''stand' for reelection at that lime if they can safely pass through the ordeal of primaries or party con- Primaries to nominate candidates for the House of Representatives will be held in all States.
 The National Committees of both parties, with headquarters in Wash ington, are preparing to lend a hand here and there during the primary campaigns in order that the machin- cry of their organizations, grown rusty shfp-shape and ready for business when the polls open November ?.
 Shortage in Sinews of War.
 Political leaders admit a lack of funds, but they are hopeful that finan- cfal difficulties will be eliminated be- fore the time comes when money will be needed badly. There are indica- tions. too, that Congress may place some drastic limitations upon the amounts of campaign expenditures before the primary season gets under way.
 Although no sharp partisan differ ences are expected to arise during the primary elections, there will be nu- merous fntra-party strifes which will cast their shadows over the elections fo follow. In many States either the Republican or Democratic nomination is tantamount to election, and in these places the selection of ~andidates will be watched wi consUN ng interest.
 The primary scuffles will also serve to reveal to party leaders what the people arc thinking abou the prob lemS now confronting Congress, and they will aFo get a clear insight into he attitude of the coun+ry toward
 he work of the administration Both parties will enter their prima- ries this year with the usual confiden1 predictions that victory lies ahead, but political observers here are in clined toward the opinion that some important changes will be evident in both branches of Congress after the November elections.
 First Primary in South Dakota.
 State, county and city campaigns will enlfven the national primaries in zeveral States.
 The first primary campaign of the year will be held in South Dakota on March 2S. No senators are to be nom- mated.
 The Illinois primary April II also will be devoted exclusiveIy-as far as national politics is concerned-to se- lection of candidates for the House.
 
 tions in May. In Indiana, on&May 2, senator Harry s. New will endeavor to secure the Republican nomination. He has the strong backing of the ad- ntniStration, but he will have an op- ponent in former Senator Albert J. Reveridge, who is said to have a con- siderable following among so-called nrogressives throughout the Hoosier State.
 On May ? Pennsylvania's political pot will boil over when the Repub- lican party selects two men to repre- sent it at the November elections as candidates for the Senate Senators William E. Crow and George w. Pep per, appointed by Governor Sproul to succeed the places made vacant by the deaths of Senators Penrose and Knox, will be put up for nomination. Oregon will have primary election on May 19, but there are no senatorial candidates to be selected. The North Carolina and Iowa pri- maries will be held on June 3 and respectively, and on June Senator Park Trammell will go before the Dem ocratic voters of Florida with ! the hope of again being selected to take care of their interests in the Senate. He may meet an opponent in the person of William Jennings Bryan.
 On June 30 there will be primaries in Maine and Minnesota. with Sena- tors Frederick Hale and Frank B. Kellogg striving for renomination. The North Dakota primary will be held on June 2S with Senator Porter J. McCumber, chairman of the Sem ate Finance Committee as the chief contender. The North Dakota pri- mary will be watched with unusual interest because of the recent defeat of the Non-Partisan League in that state and the avowed intention of leaders of the rganization to regain their lost control of state affairs, and to send more of their representatives to Congress.

On the first day primaries will be held in Kansas, Missouri, Vir- ginia and West Virginia Senator James Reed will figure prominently in the Missouri election and Senator Claude Swanson will hold the center of the stage in Virginia. senator Howard Sutherland.
