Paul Jones (Australian politician)

Paul Jones (15 June 1878 – 27 December 1972) was an Australian politician. Born in Gaffneys Creek, Victoria, he was educated at South Melbourne College before becoming a goldminer and teacher. He also studied at the University of Melbourne for an MA.

In 1928, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives in bizarre circumstances. Jones stood for the Australian Labor Party in Indi, and was initially a heavy underdog in this strongly conservative seat. However Country Party incumbent Robert Cook mistakenly failed to lodge his renomination papers, leaving Jones to take the seat unopposed. This is one of the few known instances in the history of the Australian Parliament that a candidate has lost his or her seat in this way.

Jones narrowly held onto the seat in 1929, seeing off a spirited challenge from Cook. He was defeated in the United Australia Party landslide of 1931, suffering a 14-point swing. Labor has not come close to winning the seat since then, only tallying 45 percent of the two-party vote once.

Jones was elected to the Victorian Legislative Council in 1938 for Doutta Galla Province. He remained in the Council until 1958, but left the Labor Party in 1955, joining the Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist), which later became the Democratic Labor Party.

Paul Jones died in 1972.

Paul Jones (horse)

Paul Jones (1917–1930) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that was the sixth gelding to win the Kentucky Derby. Paul Jones was foaled in the same year as Man o' War, winner of the 1920 Preakness and Belmont Stakes and one of the most influential sires of the 20th century. Man o' War was not entered in the 1920 Kentucky Derby because it was thought that a race so early in the season would be too taxing for him. Upset, the only horse ever to defeat Man o' War, did make it to the Derby.

Paul Jones was foaled in Lexington, Kentucky at Hamburg Place, the stud farm of John E. Madden. He was sired by the imported British stallion, Sea King, and was out of the Hamburg bred mare, May Florence. He was named after famous Admiral John Paul Jones and a popular brand of whiskey at the time.

The 1920 Kentucky Derby was run on an overcast day on a slow track with a field of seventeen horses. Paul Jones won the race by a nose after staving off Upset, who showed impressive speed on the home stretch, and close third On Watch.

Paul Jones proved his Derby win was not a fluke by winning the 1920 Suburban Handicap. Paul Jones raced for a total of five years and, being a gelding with no career at stud, was given to his trainer, William Garth, for use as an exercise pony. Garth spoke favorably of his former charge, complimenting the gelding's gentle disposition and work ethic. Paul Jones did race in a few pony races at the Pimlico Race Course and was entered in a number of steeplechase races in the late 1920s under the name of Garth's son-in-law, Dr. John Paul Jones. Dr. Jones also trained Paul Jones as a hunter and rode him in fox hunts. In 1929, Paul Jones was pensioned by Garth to live the remainder of his life at the Inglecrest Farm in Charlottesville, Virginia, also the final home of 1911 Kentucky Derby winner Meridian.

Paul Jones was euthanized in April 1930 due to physical infirmities and was buried at Dr. John Paul Jones's Inglecrest Farm in Charlottesville, Virginia.
