Wade was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1903, serving until 1917. He was a senior minister in the Carruthers ministry, but when Carruthers became the subject of disquiet due to allegations raised in an earlier Royal Commission, Carruthers stood down during the election period.
