Clarence H. Beecher (October 9, 1877 – November 21, 1959) was an American physician and politician who served as the 25th Mayor of Burlington, Vermont.
[8] On February 16, 1924, he declined to seek reelection and the Republican nomination for Ward Two's alderman was given to Ralph H.
[13] Due to the closeness of the election Burke filed a lawsuit attempting to remove Beecher from office, but the Vermont Supreme Court ruled in Beecher's favor on January 2, 1929, although it decreased his vote total to 3,016.
[18][19][20] He did not seek reelection in 1935, and was succeeded by Frank J. Hendee after he defeated Meader Martin in the general election.
[21][22] On January 13, 1953, the Republican city committee gave him the mayoral nomination, but was defeated in a landslide by incumbent Democratic Mayor J. Edward Moran with 5,091 votes to 3,403 votes and he performed worse than Republican aldermen in every ward except in ward one.
[23][24] During the mayoral race he criticized Moran for his handling of Burlington's new electric generator plant and blamed him for its poor management.
