Thomas Mason Wilford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Mason Wilford (20 June 1870 - 22 June 1939) was a New Zealand politician. He was leader of the New Zealand Liberal Party from 1920 to 1925, and a Cabinet Minister in both the World War I National government and in Joseph Ward's 1928 cabinet.
He represented the seat of Hutt continuously for thirty years, from 1899 to 1929, and also served briefly as Mayor of Wellington in 1910-11.
He was elected to the Suburbs of Wellington seat in the 1896 General Election, but the result was declared void after an election petition on the grounds of corrupt and illegal practices. Charles Wilson was elected MP for that electorate following a by-election on 23rd April 1897.
