About Amos Franklin Glover

Lived 1880 – 1959 (aged 79). Amos Franklin Glover was an American politician.

Amos Franklin Glover (January 24, 1880 – May 18, 1959) was an American realtor and politician who served in the California State Assembly for the 69th district from 1935 to 1937. During his tenure, he sponsored legislation promoting producer and consumer cooperatives.

Glover was one of two dozen "EPIC Democrats" elected to the state legislature in 1934. During the 1936 Democratic Party presidential primaries, he joined an EPIC slate nominally pledged to Upton Sinclair for president; they actually supported Franklin D. Roosevelt, but opposed U.S. Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, who headed the president's slate. The EPIC slate lost to Roosevelt's by a margin of eight to one.
