'''Endicott Howard Peabody''' (February 15, 1920 &ndash; December 2, 1997) was an [[Americans|American]] politician from [[Massachusetts]]. A [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]], he served a single two-year term as the [[List of Governors of Massachusetts|62nd Governor of Massachusetts]], from 1963 to 1965. His tenure is probably best known for his categorical opposition to the [[Death penalty in the United States|death penalty]] and for signing into law the bill establishing the [[University of Massachusetts Boston]]. After losing the [[1964 Massachusetts gubernatorial election#Democratic primary|1964 Democratic gubernatorial primary]], Peabody made several more failed bids for office in Massachusetts and [[New Hampshire]], including failed campaigns for the U.S. Senate in [[1966 United States Senate election in Massachusetts|1966]] and [[1986 United States Senate election in New Hampshire|1986]].

Born in [[Lawrence, Massachusetts]] to a family with deep colonial roots, Peabody played [[college football]] at [[Harvard Crimson football|Harvard University]], where he earned honors as an [[College Football All-America Team|All-American]] [[Lineman (gridiron football)|lineman]].  He served in the [[United States Navy]] in [[World War II]] before embarking on a political career noted more for its failures than its successes.  He made multiple unsuccessful attempts to win the position of [[Massachusetts Attorney General]], and for the [[United States Senate]] representing both Massachusetts and [[New Hampshire]], and ran for [[United States Vice President]] in [[1972 Democratic National Convention|1972]].

==Early life==
Endicott Peabody, nicknamed "Chub", was born in [[Lawrence, Massachusetts]], the son of [[Mary E. Peabody|Mary Elizabeth]] (née Parkman) and the Reverend [[Malcolm E.

==Early forays into politics==
{{See also|1960 Massachusetts gubernatorial election}}

While serving in the war, Peabody decided to embark on a career in politics.  After the war ended, he attended [[Harvard Law School]], receiving his [[Juris Doctor|J.D.]] degree and attaining admission to the Massachusetts bar in 1948.  His first political work was on the [[1948 United States presidential election|1948]] presidential campaign of [[Harry S. Truman]].  Truman appointed him an Assistant Regional Counsel for the [[Office of Price Stabilization]] in 1950 and Regional Counsel for the Small Defense Plants Administration in 1952.<ref name=Porter499/><ref>Herman, p. 219</ref>  In 1954 he won election to the [[Massachusetts Governor's Council]], serving one two-year term.
In 1958, Peabody ran for [[Attorney General of Massachusetts]], but lost in the Democratic primary to [[Edward J. McCormack Jr.|Edward McCormack, Jr.]] by nine percentage points.<ref name="ourcampaigns.com">[http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=570852 Our Campaigns – MA Attorney General- D Primary]</ref>  In [[Massachusetts gubernatorial election, 1960|1960]], he ran for [[Governor of Massachusetts]], but came in second (out of seven candidates) in the Democratic primary with 25.5% of the vote.<ref>[http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=389597 Our Campaigns – MA Governor – D Primary Race – Sep 13, 1960<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>  In [[1960 United States presidential election|that year's presidential election]], he coordinated [[John F.

{{see also|1962 Massachusetts gubernatorial election|1963–1964 Massachusetts legislature|1964 Massachusetts gubernatorial election}}
In the [[Massachusetts gubernatorial election, 1962|1962 gubernatorial election]], Peabody was victorious in the race for governor, upsetting the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[incumbent]] [[John A. Volpe]] by only 4,431 votes out of over two million cast.  Peabody's campaign manager was his law partner Joseph M. Koufman. Peabody was aided in the victory by endorsements from President Kennedy, and by the [[Coattail effect|coattails]] of [[Ted Kennedy]]'s victory in [[1962 United States Senate special election in Massachusetts|the coinciding race]] for the president's former [[United States Senate]] seat.

During his administration, voters approved a state constitutional amendment extending the terms of office of all state constitutional officers from two years to four years, starting from the next election. Peabody advocated laws to prevent discrimination in housing and to establish drug addiction treatment programs. He also strongly opposed [[capital punishment]] and "vowed that he would not sign a [[Execution warrant|death warrant]] even for the [[Boston Strangler]], if he were ever caught and convicted."<ref>Gottschalk, Marie (March 16, 2011) [http://www.tnr.com/book/review/peculiar-institution-david-garland Is Death Different?], ''[[The New Republic]]''</ref> This position was controversial, especially because several police officers were [[Line_of_duty_death#Police|killed in the line of duty]] in the state during his tenure.<ref name=nyt_bellotti_wins>{{cite news|title=PEABODY'S UPSET STIRS BAY STATE; Bellotti Is Victorious Despite Kennedy Backing of Foe|newspaper=New York Times|date=September 12, 1964}}</ref>  Peabody recommended the [[Pardon|commutation]] of every [[Capital punishment in the United States|death sentence]] that he reviewed while governor.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?did=126&scid=13 |title=Peabody's commutation of capital punishment sentences |access-date=December 29, 2007 |archive-date=August 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814082602/https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/index.php?did=126&scid=13 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Capital punishment in Massachusetts|Massachusetts' last executions]] took place in 1947, though the penalty itself remained in force. On June 18, 1964, Peabody signed into law the bill establishing the [[University of Massachusetts Boston]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Feldberg|first=Michael|title=UMass Boston at 50: A Fiftieth-Anniversary History of the University of Massachusetts Boston|publisher=[[University of Massachusetts Press]]|place=[[Amherst, Massachusetts]]|year=2015|page=10|isbn=978-1625341693}}</ref>

On April 1, 1964, the governor's 72-year-old mother, Mary Parkman Peabody, made headlines when she was arrested at the Ponce de Leon Motor Lodge in [[St. Augustine, Florida]], for attempting to be served in an integrated group at a [[Racial segregation in the United States|racially segregated]] restaurant. The action made her a hero to the [[civil rights movement]] and brought [[St. Augustine movement|civil rights efforts in St. Augustine]], the nation's oldest city, to national and international attention.<ref name=lincolnville>{{cite web|url=https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/civilrights/f1.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080104174514/http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/civilrights/f1.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 4, 2008|title=Lincolnville Historic District|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=2019-05-03}}</ref>

In [[Massachusetts gubernatorial election, 1964|1964]], [[Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts|Lt. Gov.]] [[Francis X. Bellotti]] mounted a primary campaign against Peabody for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.  Although Peabody was supported by Senator Kennedy and the party convention, Bellotti was victorious in the primary.  Peabody's loss was variously attributed to his controversial opposition to the death penalty, his stiff demeanor in television appearances, and a bruising defeat he suffered early in his term in opposing the winning candidate for [[Speaker of the Massachusetts General Court]].<ref name=nyt_bellotti_wins/>  Bellotti subsequently lost the general election to [[John A. Volpe|John Volpe]].

==Post-governorship==
===Senate campaign===
In [[United States Senate election in Massachusetts, 1966|1966]], Peabody ran for the U.S. Senate, for which there was an open seat that year as a result of the retirement of [[Leverett Saltonstall]]; he won the Democratic nomination but was defeated by a landslide in the general election by the Republican nominee, the [[Rockefeller Republican|liberal]] state Attorney General [[Edward Brooke]].

===1972 vice presidential election===
Peabody undertook a quixotic campaign for [[Vice President of the United States]] on the Democratic ticket in [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]];<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/04/us/endicott-peabody-77-dies-governor-of-massachusetts-in-60-s.html|work=The New York Times|first=Irvin|last=Molotsky|title=Endicott Peabody, 77, Dies; Governor of Massachusetts in 1960s|date=December 4, 1997}}</ref> he came in fourth in the balloting at the [[1972 Democratic National Convention]]. He ran under the slogan "Endicott Peabody, the number one man for the number two job."

===New Hampshire===
In 1983, he moved to [[Hollis, New Hampshire]], where he ran unsuccessfully for local and statewide political office several times, including for the U.S. Senate in [[United States Senate election in New Hampshire, 1986|1986]] against the Republican incumbent, [[Warren Rudman]].

In 1992, Peabody ran again for vice president by competing in the [[New Hampshire primary#Vice-Presidential results|New Hampshire vice-presidential primary]], where he won with 59.7% of the vote. However, the primary is non-binding, and, at the prerogative of the presidential nominee, [[Bill Clinton]] of [[Arkansas]], the vice-presidential nomination eventually went to [[Al Gore]] of [[List of United States Senators from Tennessee|Tennessee]]. Clinton and Gore subsequently won the [[1992 United States presidential election|general election]].<ref>[http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=115581 Our Campaigns – US Vice President – D Primary Race – Feb 18, 1992<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Also in 1992, Peabody ran for a seat in the [[New Hampshire House of Representatives]], but he came in third place with 20.7% of the vote.<ref name="NH State House – Hillsborough 22">[http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=776082 NH State House – Hillsborough 22]</ref>

Peabody died from [[leukemia]] in Hollis in 1997, aged 77. His remains were interred in [[Groton, Massachusetts]].

==Family==
On June 24, 1944, Peabody married Barbara Welch "Toni" Gibbons (1922&ndash;2012), a native of [[Bermuda]], the elder daughter of Morris Gibbons, a member of the [[Parliament of Bermuda]], and his wife, the former Maude Madge Welch. Peabody and his wife had a daughter, Barbara, and two sons, Robert and Endicott Jr.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2012/06/10/toni_peabody_89_helped_many_campaigns_of_husband/|work=The Boston Globe|first=Bryan|last=Marquard|title=Toni Peabody, 89; outspoken wife of governor's governor wife aided disabled; at 89|date=June 10, 2012}}</ref>
