Early life[edit]

Political career[edit]
Wilson was an unsuccessful candidate in the 1913 Alberta general election for the Coronation district, losing to Liberal Frank H. Whiteside. Wilson was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the 1917 Alberta general election. He defeated Harry S. Northwood to pick up the vacant Coronation district for the Conservative Party.
