A

In 1912 Howe was elected lieutenant governor, serving until 1915. The end of Howe's term was extended from October, 1914 to January, 1915 in order for his successor's term to start in January. This extension was in keeping with a law changing the start date of Vermont's state legislative sessions and the start of the terms for all statewide office holders to January.[9] He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 1914 and 1918, afterwards resuming management of his newspaper.[10]

Howe died in Bennington on July 20, 1956.[11][12][13] He is buried at Park Lawn Cemetery in Bennington.[14][15][16]
