POLITICAL STRAINS
 IN MOVING PICTURES
Investigation Conducted by Frank R. Stewart at Los Angeles

Frank R. Stewart returned yester day morning from the coast where he has been enjoying a vacation of sev- eral weeks. He spent the greater part of that time in Los Angeles.
 While there MT. Stewart watched the blowing of political straws and made a series of investigations that nobody appears to have thought of before. He attended the moving picture shows for that purpose.
 There were thrown upon the screens every national political incident in which there could be any popular in terest. There were scenes of the three larger conventions and also of the in cidents of the notification of the presi- dential candidates. There were other pictures of Roosevelt, Taft and Will son.
 At first, MT. Stewart said, the senti- ment was overwhelmingly for Roose- welt. The roof was fairly raised at his every appearance on the screen. Wilson was the next most favored can didate, as far as Mir stewart could judge from the noisy demonstration. Taft was very mild and modest fla Norite. sse
 But, MT. Stewart said, he observed that the Roosevelt enthusiasm was waning night by night, while that of Wilson about held it's own. At the time MT Stewart left, Roosevelt and Taft seemed tO nave changed places for the latter seemed to he a very good second in the noisy balloting as far as could be determined by the ''voice of the people" which some say IS the voice of God"
