The 1910 election saw the party divisions lead to a fracture.  [[Eugene Noble Foss]], a Boston businessman, bolted the Republican Party, and ran for election as a Democrat, effectively self-financing his campaign.  He ran as an essentially single-issue candidate, seeking tariff reform, in particular [[Reciprocity (Canadian politics)|reciprocity]] in trade with [[Canada]].  Draper, running for a third term, upset local dairy farmers by allowing the railroads to raise rates on milk shipments.  This led to protests and a brief embargo of deliveries to the Boston area, which Draper countered weakly by criticising railroad management for its pricing tactics.  Foss won the governor's race by a 32,000-vote margin, but his win was not reflected in Democratic gains anywhere else.<ref>Abrams, pp. 248-257</ref>

Draper continued to serve as the managing head of the family business.<ref name="The Tariff Review">''The Tariff Review'', p. 235</ref>  He was considered a candidate for the [[United States Senate]] seat of fellow Republican [[Murray Crane]] in 1913.  The party, then under the control of its hardline conservative faction (and in control of the legislature, which then elected senators), chose [[John W. Weeks]].<ref>Abrams, p. 285</ref>  His company became the focus of labor organization by the [[Industrial Workers of the World]] (IWW, or "Wobblies"), who engineered a strike in 1912.  Although they nominally sought higher wages and a shorter work week, there was a political dimension to the strike: the IWW specifically targeted Draper because of his protectionist and anti-labor actions taken while governor.<ref>Tucker, pp. 20-21</ref> Both [[Nicola Sacco]], a former employee of The Draper Company, and [[Bartolomeo Vanzetti]] were very active in this strike and several others that affected The Draper Company.<ref name="In Search of Sacco and Vanzetti">Tejada, p. 51</ref>
