William Nathaniel Jones
William Nathaniel Jones (20 March 1858 – 24 May 1934) was a Welsh Liberal politician, businessman and soldier.
Jones, who served as a Justice of the Peace in Carmarthenshire, married Margaret Francis of Llandilo. In business, he was a director of the Ammanford Gas Company and the Duke Anthracite Collieries Ltd and the owner of Birchgrove Steelworks, Swansea.〔The Times, 13.6.29〕 He was appointed High Sheriff of Carmarthenshire for 1924.
In 1889, Jones became an inaugural member of the Carmarthenshire County Council. He also served on Ammanford Urban District Council.
==Parliamentary candidate==
In 1926, Sir Alfred Mond the Liberal MP for Carmarthen defected to the Conservatives over the issue of land policy and the proposal by David Lloyd George that some agricultural land be nationalised. The policy had been set out in the publication ''Land and the Nation'' or the ''Green Book'' in October 1925 but it caused great debate in the Liberal Party and another MP, Hilton Young, who sat for Norwich also left the party for the Tories along with a couple of former MPs.〔Roy Douglas, ''Liberals: The History of the Liberal and Liberal Democrat Parties''; Hambledon and London, 2005 p212〕 Mond decided not to resign and fight a by-election but there was an election to choose a successor to him to stand as a Liberal at the next election. This was initially contested by six candidates but four withdrew and the choice was between Jones and Richard Thomas Evans of Cardiff. Jones won in a close contest by 149 votes to 147, having made clear he was an opponent of the ''Green Book'' land policy whereas Evans, who had worked closely with Lloyd George on other Liberal policies, was in favour.〔The Times, 8.3.26〕 Evans however was later become MP for Carmarthen, sitting from 1931-35. At the time of the by-election, and in other sources referring to him in 1882, Jones was described variously as Lieutenant-Colonel or Colonel Jones but no indication of his army history is available in those sources.
