Draper Daniels - MCS class of 1931, Advertising Executive, model for Madman Don Draper

Looking at the fultonhistory.com site I found a link to an article published in the Sunday Dec 24th 1961 edition of the Binghamton Press.

Draper Daniels was being considered as a Democratic candidate to challenge Sen. Everett Dirksen.
