In the 1908 general election, Alfred Kidd (the incumbent) came second to Glover, who won the seat from Kidd.^[1] Both were from the Liberal Party, and it was not unusual at the time for there to be more than one candidate.

Rugby league administrator

As the local MP, Glover chaired a meeting of 150 people on 20 July 1909 that formed the Auckland Rugby League. Glover was elected one of the ARL's first Vice-Presidents at the meeting.^[2]
