[3] In the 1918 New Year Honours, Draper was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his wartime services.
During his term in office, he introduced legislation that liberalised Western Australia's divorce laws, and also amended the state's electoral act to allow women to stand for parliament.
