===Intra-party disputes===
A strong Republican who held firm ''[[conservative]]'' principles, Hickenlooper voted for [[Everett Dirksen]] in 1959 to lead the Senate [[GOP]], though disputed with him over certain matters.<ref name="The First Hickenlooper"/> Hickenlooper particularly was not pleased with Dirksen's "backroom deals", believing that the [[Minority Leader]] compromised too often with [[Democrats]] without offering enough of a voice to fellow Republicans.
