He wasadmitted to the bar in 1910 and commenced practice inMalvern, the seat of government of Hot Spring County.[1]
Glover served as member of theArkansas House of Representatives in the regular legislative sessions of 1909 and 1911. He served as delegate to several state conventions and a prosecuting attorney of the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of Arkansas from 1913 to 1917.
Glover was elected as aDemocrat to theSeventy-first,Seventy-second, andSeventy-third Congresses (March 4, 1929 – January 3, 1935). Glover unseatedJames B. Reed in the 1928 Democratic primary. Six years later, Glover himself was denied renomination by the attorneyJohn L. McClellan, then ofCamden and formally of Sheridan, Arkansas, and later aU.S. senator. After his congressional tenure, Glover resumed the practice of law in Malvern until his death on April 5, 1952.
