In December 1910, Hogge stood as Liberal candidate in the Camlachie division of Glasgow, losing narrowly to a Liberal Unionist; The intervention of the women's suffrage candidate, had the effect of ensuring the election of Mackinder, who opposed women's suffrage at the expense of Hogge, who supported it.

An opponent of the Lloyd George coalition, he was not given the 'coupon' at the general election of 1918 but increased his majority as an independent Liberal. From 1919-1920 he was President of the National Association of Discharged Sailors and Soldiers. He had misgivings about H. H. Asquith's leadership, however, and fell out of favour with the 'Wee Free' party establishment. He held his Edinburgh seat until the general election of 1924.
