 two neWspapermen came here from New Britain and produced a weekly newspaper named "The Valley Democrat" Later 1t be- came the Sunday Democrat" and still later, or 40 years ago, "The Waterbury Democrat" q daily evening publication. The two men from New Britain, their native city, were brothers, Cornelius and Michael Thomas Maloney, sons of Patrick and Margaret Uoughery) Maloney, all since deceased.
 On Nov. 17th, 1886, Cornelius Maloney had married Mary A. Quigley of Litchfield. They had six children, four of whom are alive today. They are: Edward Vincent, Margaret, Catherine and Cornelius r. Maloney, all residents of this city.
 It is my pleasure at this time to present 6 brief biography of one of these neighbors. He is Edward Vincent Maloney, president, treas urer and editor of the Waterbury Democrat, Incorporated.
 E. Vincent, as MT. Maloney is more familiarly called, was born in the cosy little Maloney home on Central avenue, Oct. 23rd, 1888. In time he became pupil at St. Marys parochial school. Later he enrolled ct Crosby high school, graduating in 1907. He then enter cd, for higher education, Holy Cross College, at Worcester, Massachusetts. graduating in 1911. He subsequently, joined the edi- torial stah of the Democrat as an assistant to his dad. He was quite familiar with the newspaper game, having been identified with 1t since his early school days when he served as newsboy dis tributing the Democrat over Q neighborhood route. During vaca- tions in high school and college years he had devoted his attention to journalistic work on the same paper.
 Upon the death of his father in 1914, F. Vincent took over the management of the Democrat for his mother, who l might mention, resides at this time on Willow street. Under his editorship the Democrat has remained refresh- ingly clean, vigorous, Interesting and enllghtcning. It is Q Staunch advocate of democratic principles and is one of the few democratic papers in this part of the coun- try that is 100 per cent democratic, Politically, 1t has supported the democratic party through thick and thin, year in and year out.
 The Democrat continues to give broad and clear knowledge of lo- cal, American, and international problems. It keeps one in touch with the current news and opinion of the times as expressed in the worlds best newspapers. One Of It's chief virtues Is that It has ale ways defended the interests of Waterburians and the fair name of the city of Waterbury.
 The influence of Mir. Maloney upon the people of Waterbury has been far-reaching and always good. He Is the personal friend of many. He is genuine Ameri- can and he has made decided im- press upon his generation and upon the reading public in gen. eral. From other sources have come tributes, but not the least of the honors shown him is the strong interest manifested by the public in his newspaper.
 He unites sturdy forcefulneSs and simple candor-unaffected modesty and rugged forthrightness "a clearness of vision and out- standing purity of purpose. He is the embodiment of straightforward simplicity, honesty, direct think ing, kindliness and devotion to service. He has constantly refused elective public office and has giv- en himself without stint to make and maintain the past and pres- ent high character of The Water bury Democrat. He thoroughly understands the business, mechan- ical and literary sides of his oc- cupation. He is ably assisted in producing the Democrat by his brother, Cornelius, who is asso- ciate editor; and by his sisters, Margaret and Catherine. both of whom play prominent parts in the publication of Waterbury's favorite newspaper.
