He defeated a government-aligned candidate by 43 votes (12% of the votes cast). For the 1903 election, the North Victoria riding was abolished during redistribution, and Thomas ran as a Liberal candidate in the newly created riding of The Islands. He defeated a Conservative candidate by 67 votes (19% of the votes cast). In the 1907 election, a new Conservative candidate won by 6 votes (2%of votes cast), and Thomas was unseated.[5] In 1907, he was defeated when running for mayor of Victoria. From 1909 to 1914, he was the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. In 1912, he presented a cup to the Pacific Coast Hockey Association.[6] The cup was first won by the New Westminster Royals, who were PCHA champions in the PCHA's first season.[7] Family and Personal LifeBorn in Darvel, Scotland,[8] he immigrated to Canada with his parents. He was raised in Ontario.[1] Paterson married Emma Elizabeth Riley, the daughter of George Riley in Victoria on November 25, 1886.[9] Paterson retired in 1914. He died in Victoria on August 28, 1921,[10] and was buried in Ross Bay Cemetery.[11] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://www.ltgov.bc.ca/gov-house/history/timeline.html |title=Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia biography |publisher=Government House |accessdate=2011-08-26}} {{BCLG}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Paterson, Thomas}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.memorybc.ca/paterson-thomas-wilson;isaar |title=Paterson, Thomas Wilson |publisher=British Columbia Archival Information Network |accessdate=2011-08-26}} 3. ^Canadian Intellectual Property Office: Patent 56793 Summary 4. ^Google Patents: [https://www.google.com/patents/US601355 Thomas wilson paterson: US 601355 A] 5. ^Electoral History of British Columbia 1871-1986.
