Alexander Hogg

Alexander Wilson Hogg (9 February 1841 – 17 November 1920) was a member of parliament for Masterton, in the North Island of New Zealand.

Hogg contested the Masterton electorate in the 1887 election, but was beaten by George Beetham.

Like most of the other New Liberals, Hogg wanted the establishment of a State bank,[4] but he did not share their zeal for constitutional innovations, rejecting the idea of the referendum and claiming that the Elective Executive Bill should be put in the rubbish bin.

But he resigned from his portfolios in the same year because of general dissatisfaction with the Ward Government's policies.

The framework is already eroded and moth-eaten, loaded with parasites, suffering from a species of dry rot[8]
