Some advocate ether for their extraction? (5)
I believe the answer is:

(thesaurus)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for draft that I've seen before include "A money order for US conscription" , "Outline or sketch" , "Sketch; money order" , "book's outline" , "Draw an outline" .)
