What does the writer imply in this line from the excerpt?

The house, dooryard, barng woodshed was now all full, and when ANOTHER crowd come I told 'em not to go away for want of room as the hog-pen was still empty.

Politicians have no respect for others' privacy. 
Politicians have no sense of shame.
Politicians are determined men.
Politicians are foolish men.

Final answer:

The line implies that there is room in the hog-pen for more people to come, but it doesn't provide any information about politicians.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line from the excerpt implies that the house, yard, barn, and woodshed are already full, but the hog-pen is still empty and can accommodate more people. This suggests that the writer is trying to make room for additional individuals who may be coming. The line doesn't directly discuss politicians or their actions, so it doesn't provide insight into their respect for privacy, sense of shame, determination, or foolishness.

The author states " the hog-pen was still empty". With this comment he implies that he considered politician to be at the same level as pigs.  They will wallow in fecal matter and crowd in to any space to get what they want.  He goes on to say that they are shameless and have no respect for privacy.  This also reinforces his portrayal of them as willing to cram themselves in anywhere regardless of the location or conditions to get information.  He considers them lowly, dirty and visualizes them covered in poop.
