Since 1909 his party colleague Sir James Gibson, 1st Baronet held the lower house mandate of the constituency of Edinburgh East . When Gibson died in 1912, by-elections were required in that constituency. To these Hogge stood for the Liberals against the conservative John Gordon Jameson .

In the general election of 1924 , Drummond Shiels was the first candidate for the Labor Party in the constituency of Edinburgh East. On election day this received the largest share of the vote. Hogge lost massive votes and also lagged behind the unionist Charles Black Milne . He resigned from the House of Commons and did not run for any further elections.
