In 1919, representatives for the Northern New York Utilities, Inc., wrote to New York Congressman David O’Connell objecting to the complete prohibition of alcoholic beverages. Supporters for prohibition did not always favor a complete ban on all liquors. Some supported prohibition of strong spirits, while allowing the consumption of beer and wine.
