fascinating stuff. when were these pre-TV campaign films screened?

Movie theaters most likely.  Indeed, the movie studio opposition to Upton Sinclair in the 1934 California gubernatorial race led to attack ads disguised as newsreels. "California Election News No. 1" and "California Election News No. 2"  The following link includes some scenes from them with commentary.
