Howard Vaughan

Howard Vaughan, dated 1910

John Howard Vaughan CBE (14 November 1879 – 21 August 1955)[1] was an Australian politician. Born in Norwood, Adelaide, he was a member of the South Australian Legislative Council from 1912 to 1918, representing the United Labor Party (1912–1917) and the National Party (1917–1918). He served as the Attorney-General of South Australia from 1915 to 1917.[2]

In the 1917 Labor split, Vaughan was expelled along with his brother, Premier Crawford Vaughan, and joined the new National Party.[3][4] Upon the defeat of the Vaughan ministry in July 1917, Vaughan did not nominate for a position in the new coalition ministry of Archibald Peake, and enlisted to serve in World War I.[5][6][7] He was controversially opposed at the 1918 election while away on active service, and being unable to campaign was defeated by Labor candidate Tom Gluyas.[8][9]

Vaughan was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1932.[10] He died in Adelaide on 21 August 1955, at the age of 75, and is buried at Centennial Park Cemetery in Pasadena, Adelaide.[1]
