John Griffith McCullough, Vermont Governor 1902-1904

In the 1902 race for governor, there was no clear-cut winner and it was left to the state legislature to decide the election. Receiving a majority of the legislature's votes, McCullough went on as governor to favor separation of the judicial system from politics, and to support a primary election law. During his administration, a State Board of Health was established and legislation was enacted requiring the payment of licensing fees by corporations that either were formed or conducted business in Vermont.
