Alojzije (Vjekoslav) Hegedić, svećenik i pristaša Stranke prava, u politiku se aktivnije uključuje nakon dolaska u Karlovac 1886., godine, kada postaje duhovnim pomoćnikom u dubovačkoj župi. Agitirajući na izborima za Hrvatski sabor 1887. za pravaškog kandidata u Karlovcu, Hegedić je očitovao svoje pravaško političko opredjeljenje. Za dubovačkog župnika izabran je 1888., a 1891. godine postaje i zastupnik u gradskom zastupstvu Karlovca. Na izborima za Hrvatski sabor 1897. godine kandidiran je na listi Udružene opozicije te izabran za narodnog zastupnika u podravskom izbornom kotaru s biralištem u Kloštru. U radu je težište stavljeno na Hegedićevo saborsko djelovanje tijekom kojeg se u svojim istupima, vjerno zastupajući učenje Ante Starčevića, bavio političkim, gospodarskim i drugim temama koje su bile aktualne u Banskoj Hrvatskoj tijekom nagodbenog razdoblja, napose u vrijeme vladavine bana Khuen-Héderváryja.Alojzije (Vjekoslav) Hegedić, a priest and supporter of the Party of Rights, was actively involved in politics after arriving in Karlovac in 1886. He also became a spiritual assistant in the parish of Dubovac. In the elections for the Croatian Parliament in 1887, he clearly revealed his political views, as he openly campaigned on behalf of the candidate of the Party of Rights in Karlovac. In 1888 he became the parish priest in the parish of Dubovac, and in 1891 he was elected to the Karlovac City Assembly. In the elections for the Croatian Parliament in 1897, Hegedić was a candidate on the list of the United Opposition, and he was elected in the Kloštar constituency in Podravina. The author analyzes Hegedić\u27s activities in the Croatian Parliament during the period when Károly Khuen- Héderváry was the ban from Croatia, during which Hegedić persistently advocated Ante Starčević\u27s ideas in discussions on relevant political, economic and cultural issues in Banal Croatia (Banska Hrvatska)
