After attending a public school and two private schools, Page initially earned his living selling calf hides. He later worked in business as the president of several banks and companies.

He became politically active in 1869 when he was elected to the Vermont House of Representatives, to which he belonged until 1872. From 1874 to 1876 he was a member of the State Senate . In 1890, Page was elected governor of Vermont for a two-year term , with 61.7 percent of the vote clearly defeating the Democrat Herbert Brigham.

After he was not considered for re-candidacy in 1922, his tenure in Washington ended on March 3, 1923. During his time in the Senate, he was chairman and member of several committees.

After the end of his political career, Page returned to Hyde Park, where he died two years later.
