Dietrich resigned from being governor as he had been elected by the Nebraska Legislature to fill the vacant U.S. Senate term of Monroe L. Hayward, who had died. Thus, Ezra P. Savage, the lieutenant governor elected in 1900, became the Governor of Nebraska. After the elevation of Savage to Governor, Calvin F. Steele was considered the Acting Lieutenant Governor due to his position as president pro tempore of the Nebraska Senate based on Article V, Section 18, of the Nebraska Constitution.1915 Nebraska Blue Book 168 http://govdocs.nebraska.gov/epubs/l3000/D001-1915.pdf Thus, in the 1915 Nebraska Blue Book and the 1918 Nebraska Blue Book, Steele is listed as having served as lieutenant governor, even replacing any mention of Savage's brief stint as lieutenant governor.1915 Nebraska Blue Book 11 http://govdocs.nebraska.gov/epubs/l3000/D001-1915.pdf1918 Nebraska Blue Book 11 http://govdocs.nebraska.gov/epubs/l3000/D001-1918.pdf See also 1900 Nebraska gubernatorial election References Lieutenant Gubernatorial Nebraska Category:November 1900 in the United States Category:Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial elections
