WASHINGTON, March 3-After eight eventful years in authority, the Democratic administration of Woodrow Wilson closed up its books today and rested to await the termination of it's tenure at noon tomorrow.
 While the final balance was being struck by the outgoing officials, War ren G. Harding, Republican president elect, came to Washington, gave his approval to the simple inaugural cere- mony that will attend his induction into office, completed formally his cab inet and finished his part of the inaug ural preliminaries by going to the White House for call of courtesy on Mir. Wilson.
 For his part the retiring president provided. perhaps, the last of the Ions succession of sensations of his term by i announcing that when he leaves the White House he will take up the prac- tice of law
